We are back! A great time was had, and lots of money was spent. Some of the things that happened that were memorable on the trip: James and Brian were stung by jellyfish (which still freaks me out). We outran a storm on our sunset dolphin cruise… BARELY (it was neat to see the storm roll in, though). Dave took a poo in the bushes by a hotel called Xanadu (which was rechristened Xanapoo as a result). I did manage to see ONE alligator on the island. I realized that there is a limit to how many daiquiris one can drink; Dave, on the other hand, has no limit; seriously (they were good, but way too much sugar!). Sometimes, it is just fun to relax and sit out by the pool with friends.
All in all, I would say a good time was had. As with many vacations, I almost need a vacation from my vacation… travel, drinking, and having fun can wear one out! It was nice to come home yesterday to see our little boy Sydney, whom I missed more than I imagined, and it was true to say that he was definitely glad to see us. After picking him up from the sitter, we came home to discover that our HVAC unit had crapped out while we were gone, and was no longer functioning. Nice. Needless to say, we sweated our balls off until bed time, which, luckily enough, we have a window unit in the bedroom, so it wasn’t that bad for sleeping. The AC people are coming today, and I hope it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg to fix. It probably will though, these things are never cheap. Ah, the joys of home ownership. UPDATE: Looks like we are looking at $5000 worth of AC repairs. Jesus. Anyone have any money I can have? A lot of it?
Hope everyone else’s weekend rocked! I can’t wait till we get our AC back!
I was gone this weekend as well and the cat couldn’t be happier when I came back.
Of course I’m a mean parent and didn’t pay any attention to her because I had 26 other things to attend to apon getting home.
So when I went to bed last night she wouldn’t get off my face she wanted attention so bad! All I could think was that when I got her she was such a bitch and all I wanted was for her to be a nice cat and slept on the bed, and wanted attention - and now that I have it, it’s sooo annoying!
And this is why I can never have children.
welcome back and glad you had a good time. sucks about the AC, especially now that we’re in the hell on earth months.
I would be miserable without my A/C. Hope they fix it fast and cheap.
Did you have to pee on James?
Joe: LOL, no, I didn’t HAVE to… LOL! I actually didn’t get to pee on anyone! I guess the sting is less painful that the thought of someone peeing on you in public…
What is the status on SAND in the motherfuckin’ BED?
$5000? That sounds like total replacement of the furnace and A/C compressor. Is that what’s happening? If not, I’d get a couple more quotes.
Tony; that is pretty much what it is. Apparently, the thing that sits outside is broken, and since it was a cheap model (thanks again guy we bought the house from!), the replacements won’t work with the AC unit we have. BOO!
SHIT Duane, that’s a lot of effing money! That’s horrible, I’m so sorry.
You know if I had the scratch, I’d totally help you out. I’m heading out for foodstamps, let me know if you need any.
That sucks, dude. Really shitty. If you wanna come over and eat PB&J together, I am definitely up for it.
Sorry to hear about your AC situation. I don’t have any money to offer, but you can certainly come over to our house anytime you need to cool off!
