Was that a weekend?

I had THE BUSIEST weekend of a lifetime and I'm cravingn for Friday already. This weekend I power cleaned my condo for The Renter's arrival last night, moved in to my new home, had a yard sale, and dropped a Nissan Extera full of stuff off at Good Will. I'm POOPED! I'm pooped and wearing flip flops today at work.

I'm also ultra glad that the condo prep is over. It took just over a weekend to complete and I feel so great about having purged that much shit out of my place. I had make-up that I was clinging too for some reason and I just had to reach back and learn to let_it_go. I should have worn a t-shirt that said "Leave me alone - I'm simplifying my life right now"

Yesterday during the last 2 hours of my crazy weekend I was sweating, tired, achey, and I was meeting The Renter at my condo to sign the lease and show her around. I parked my car out front (next to a curb painted yellow) as all the tenants do when the have to unload thier groceries. I ran up to my condo with my baskets of shit and I heard the dreadful sound of a tow truck backing up to my car. Little hispanic kids playing ball in the street were saying "Lady! Lady! Der stealing ur car!" I hauled ass down the stairs (in my flip flops!), ran up to the truck with my car loaded on the back and said to the driver:

Me: "Hey man! I'm unloading my groceries! You can't take my car!"

Jerk: "Do you see a yellow curb?"

Me: "uh...yea..but"

Jerk: "Then I'm taking your car..."

Me: "FINE! How much cash will it take for you to drop it?"

Jerk: "Twenty Five bones"

Me: "Will you wait for me to get it?"

Jerk: (Still loading my car) "Uh huh"

I go up to get my purse and come back down....

Me: "Drop the car first then you can have the cash."

Jerk: "Lady, please. You give me the money or I'm taking your car."

Me: "FINE! HERE! Now drop it!"

Jerk: Dropping my car...."Thinkin' I'm gonna steal from you. I ain't tryin to play you like dat."

Me: "WHAT_EVER!"

$25.00 and a racing heart is a much smaller bill then the $100 it would have cost me to get my car out of the stupid tow lot. JERK!

what an ass. You know you could call him in. Its illegal to do that. Even though he did you a favor. Most charge more than that. Did he really say bones? And why did I get such a small mention? Nothing of the stray dog or anything. (THis is me frowning very big whilst crossing my arms over my BIG BOOBIES!

Kaycee: Sorry that you're not the star of my blog entry but I chose to write about my most memorable weekend moment. Unfortunately the car towing ass hole won over your doggy rescue. =)
