Today, I took ACTION

The incident below took place as I was getting ready to go to work:

Before I do any further, I need to give you some background history:
I live in a condo and the Home Owners Association contracted with this company to replace our termite infested fence with new fencing. When the crew began working on the fences, I told them that I have a shed with a gate door that leads to the parking lot, so we need to figure out how to get around it. They told me that they would not fence over my shed entrance.

You are probably thinking, "Why would they fence over the entrance to her shed?

Well, there use to be a two foot gap between our fences and the concrete parking lot. The new guys are taring out the plants and trees, and moving the fence to be adjacent to the concrete.

Much to my chagrin, I went out to the shed in the backyard where my trike (motorized three wheel bike) is stored. As I open the back entrance door, which is actually a gate to the parking lot, the door makes a loud thud sound. In utter surprise, I ran frantically around the corner of the fence to the parking lot.

And sure enough, the workers fenced in my shed entrance. I was FURIOUS

I found the foreman, and explained my concerns. He said, "Well the HOA said to put up a fence and that is what we are doing. He said that would be an additional cost for taking the fence planks and beams down, In my assertive voice, I said, "Give me the name and number of the owner! He gave me his business card, and, of course, I promptly called him on my cell phone. He apologize fro the misunderstanding and reassured me that his crew would take that portion of the fence down.

So, when I came home this evening, My shed entrance was unblocked. YaY!

Stay tuned for more of Michelle's wisdom and awesome adventures.

Here Comes Number Two!!!

While reading this title, you might be thinking
"Really, she couldn't think of a more original title. Well, I could, but I'm feeling a bit lazy today. I always start feeling a bit lazy the day before I have to go back to work for the week. I shouldn't complain because I only work four days a week, four hours a day. Yet, I will continue to complain because that's just what I do. 

Why am I writing this blog?

I didn't want my readers to think I was a "post and run" kind of gal. I usually give up after a week, so you are stuck having to read my posts for several more days. Or you could choose to not read them which I Highly do not recommend. There could be some important info being shared amongst my babbling. Spell check does not like the word "amongst; however I do. 

I have not been getting a whole lot done today other than requesting friends on my new Face Book page. I can't have people thinking that I'm some kind of loner or something. If you have any suggestions for my page, BE NICE!, please let me know. https://www.facebook.com/michelle.mason.35513800

Well. It's about "blogging time" that I submit my first blog.

Before reading the entry, please understand that I have never *Yes, never is in red because I want to emphasize to my audience that I have never blogged before. I guess you can call me a blogger virgin. I have been toying with the idea of blogging; BUTT (yes I did that on purpose. I'm a fairly good speller)

BUT!!! (The darker red was for more EMPHASIS)

  1. Butt, I didn't have the time. 
  2. But people might find my blog boring
  3. But I really don't have anything to share that would be of interest to anyone else. Especially to people who don't know me.

 BUT I will tell you what.
(Even more emphasisss) There is nothing wrong with your glasses, I put 2 esses after _Oh, you know that word that I've been throwing around. I'm too lazy to type it again.)

OK so...

I'm going to try it anyway. If you find my blogs boring, Deal With It!!!

   PHEW!!

It's nice to get that off my chest!

I've always wanted to be a writer. My head stores many brilliant stories that could not be transposed onto paper. I wish that I had a note taker built into my brain That way my thoughts could be actualized into words. The tricky part is...How do you get those words printed out on paper? The tongue wouldn't be a big enough printer tray. And besides, the tongue would get all the papers wet. Bad Idea! Still working on that one.  I'll let you know if I have made any progress.

Please share with me your ideas in regards to solving this problem
I Have No Idea why I chose this background color!.

Your answers will be posted in my next blog. A vote will be taken to determine who had the best idea!!!

Don't feel bad if you lose. I lose all the time. It's no Biggy!

The WINNER receives an Applause!!! I'll send the video of me applauding your success via e-mail. AND If you are nice, I'll send you a video of my cat and I applauding you. 

Contest Rules: If you fall out of your chair or become overcome with uncontrollable laughter while viewing my video... And because of this you brake your head, knee, pelvis, hip, ankle et cetera, I will not be held LIABLE...
      That's right folks, Read it and Weep

It's 2 in the morning, and I'm getting tired. I hope you enjoy my blog.

              Good Night
