Hey hey hey TKW Family! What’s shakin’ peeps?  So did you ever get in one of those ‘cranky pants’ moods but yet you really don’t know why?  That’s been me all week.  I’m always happy go lucky but for some reason this past week I’ve been uber cranky.  Maybe it’s from coming off of the prednisone *shrugs* or old age *quit shaking your head yes to that.. LOL*.  Or maybe it’s because it was so damn miserably hot and humid here in Pittsburgh. Dear GOD I don’t know how you people that live in the south handle it!  I love the heat – like I LOVE July and August in Scottsdale, Arizona but there’s little to no humidity. Yes I know, it’s hot and hot is hot. I get that but when you have asthma, humidity is hell on you. Plus when you have naturally curly hair.. well let’s just say nature hates you when it’s humid.  The scrungie is your friend as that’s about as sexy you’ll ever get your hair when it’s humid.

Annnnnnnnnnnd to make matters worse the AC in my car is on the fritz.  Like it comes on… after I’ve been driving down the highway with the windows down in 90+ degree weather for 15-20 minutes. Thing is, Mr. Fantabulous said it’s an easy fix and that I should just go pick up a new car but honestly it’s just a car ya know?  I’m fine driving with the windows down…as long as it’s not raining then it sucks and I’m forced to drive with the windows just cracked and the wanna-be-ac on blowing warm/hot air.  Yeah, not cool man… HA!  Literally!

But yeah this past week wasn’t a good week for me. My emotions were all over the place.  I found out some pretty devastating news that is weighing so heavy on my heart and mind.  All I can do is pray and be strong for someone.  I can’t go into details as they’ve asked me to keep it private but all I can ask is if you can include someone who I love dearly in your prayers.Thank you!

What else? I’ve been busier than normal at work which, did you ever get to a point where it’s a bit overwhelming?  Kind of like you’re afraid you may be at max capacity?  That’s kind of how I feel but yet I love it, ya know?  I love being challenged. And I’ve been BEYOND furious with the granite people.  Trust me I CANNOT wait to go public with this sham of a company and call them out for their lack of quality work and flat out shoddy workmanship but for now, until this job is done done done and they are out of my house for good, I’ll keep silent. But trust me dear company, my millions of TKW Family member will be warned (as well as the BBB) about how horrible of a company you are. So no, I still don’t have a finished kitchen.

Let’s see, what else can I whine about.. *love you guys!*  So get this.. it’s been +90F all week with I swear 875% humidity. Like I think the trees and grass was sweating it was so humid.  Well my darling Mr. Fantabulous says “Honey we need to start trimming back the bushes and trees.  They are really bad and I’m getting whacked in the face when I cut the grass.”  So wait.. you now complain about getting whacked in the face when I, 2 months ago when it wasn’t 875% humidity, told you that we should cut them back then???  Yeah so we go outside…to melt…and curse…and get stung/bitten by every godforsaken bug out there. 2 nights in a row we worked outside for about 2-3 hours.  We filled up our 4×8′ trailer 5 times and I pretty much sweated off 47 pounds both times.  My GOD….enough with the humidity. Are we done?  Pshh! HA!  If only.  Now he says “We only have about another 3 hours of work left to do outside.” which, in realistic time means 8-10 hours.  Trust me, one thing my darling Mr. Fantabulous cannot do is estimate time to perform a job.  Oh no no no no! Sorry baby, but you suck at that.

Saturday he decided that we were having a ‘date’ day.  Yeah, I’m vetoing date days from now on. I know so many of you love date days with your better half but let me ask you this…does your date day involve both Lowes and Home Depot and going up and down each and every aisle???  Yeah, thought not.  But it’s quality time I suppose though I have to admit, I do get a kick out of being there with him in those stores as he’s seriously like a little kid.  His eyes light up when he sees screws, nuts, bolts and power tools.  It’s kinda like me when I go to HomeGoods.  LOL

So today I’m chillin’ out and actually taking a day off from TKW.  I need some ‘me’ time which translates into “it’s too damn hot to cook or think and all I want to do is chill out in my princess jammies”. Love you guys!
