Part two about my life in h*ll right now...

Well as my mom has not been feeling well, I decided to do something nice for her and bought her tickets to see Wicked the Musical in LA (she is a huge Wicked Witch if the West fan). Well, she was having a really bad weekend but wasn't going to give up the tickets. So on Saturday we left and the drive wasn't bad, got to Burbank got dinner, so far so good. Then On Sunday morning we decided to do some shopping first in Glendale (for my mom) and then in Pasadena (for me). Well Glendale was almost ok, my mom can't read a map to save her life, but we did get to the mall and found the store for her. Then it was off to Pasadena. Wanted to go to Crate and Barrel for the new house and to Pinkberry (heard so much about it, had to try). Well we were looking for parking and found a lot up on the right side. I went to go from the left lane to the right lane, I looked, my mom looked, no car, go to move, bang. Then the girl who was driving jumped out and started screaming at me "I am going to kill you, you f*ing b*tch." So we locked the doors and called the cops. When the lady in the passenger side (the driver's mom) realized we called the cops she told her daughter to take a walk and calm down. Then when the cop showed up she gave him her license and registration and said she was driving. Then the cop took our statement and we told him who was driving. Well it was our word against theirs (there was a witness, but the cop had yet to talk to her). Later the girl driving came and told me she was driving without a license, grrr. So I didn't get a ticked but was put on the report for being at fault. First accident ever that was my fault and it was my new baby (less than 4000) miles on the new Jeep. *tear* Good thing, being my first accident my insurance didn't go up so that makes me happy. So I had to make all these arrangements to have my jeep towed to a dealership because it knocked a stability sensor out of line so my Jeep was no drivable and call my insurance to make a claim, get a rental car to take my mom to San Diego (to Scripps), get a plane ticket home for me and all of that fun stuff while I was out of town, on a Sunday and had three hours till the curtain opened at Wicked. Well we got it all done and got a cab to Wicked. Great musical, different than the book, but great none the less. So the next morning I found out they messed up we had no rental car. I yelled and yelled until one got delivered and speed from LA to SD to get my mom to her appt on time. Turns out the man was such an *ss - she just cried and cried over it. This guy was supposed to be at the top of his game and was so rude and ran no tests and basically insulted my mother and I. She had to stay until Tuesday to see another doc (also an *ss) then she got a flight home and we are moving on trying to find out why she is so sick. Also still waiting for the Jeep parts so I can fly to LA and pick up my baby.

With all of that there is some good news. I bought a new house (anyone from Vegas, it's in Mountain's Edge). 5 bedroom, 4 bath, 1 den, 2 car garage, just under 2,500 square feet and a big enough lot for a pool, spa and a yard. It was love at first sight. Will post picks when it gets more finished. Scary thing, first house, mortgage payment, home owners insurance, etc, etc. And it's a big house for just me and my cat, I am going to have to put a tracking device on her. So far I have decided that the master bedroom is mine (duh). One bedroom is going to be an office, one bedroom a darkroom as I love photography and miss having a place to process. The den is going to get floor to ceiling bookshelves and be a library. One of the rooms is set up "guest suite" sl,yle with a small walk in closet so that will stay the guest room. That leaves one room that I have no idea what I am going to do with right now. It is also set up great room st,yle (one big room instead of a formal dining room and formal front room and stuff which is what I wanted). Lots up upgrades (too many to list here so I'll add more when I have photos). It should be finished in about a month - I am so excited except I can't lift anything over 10 pounds due to the back so I have no idea about the actual move. Oh well, something will work out. The houses closes on Oct 30th and I do my walk-through Nov 1st and then move Nov 10th. Getting excited. Lots of furniture to buy. Lots of walls to paint. It'll be fun.
