Jar of Hearts

How sad is this song? It might've made me cry the first time I heard it. It definitely touched me with good and bad memories. Thanks Hayley for posting it so I could also share. I'm now looking forward to her album.

What a Week!

Last week they began breaking out the concrete on my driveway on Monday. They finished the driveway and broke out part of the sidewalk. Tuesday evening they carried away the broken up concrete and did nothing else. The concrete guy talked to me and said they would finish breaking up the rest of the sidewalk Wednesday and would be pouring on Thursday. Wednesday came and went and nothing was done. Wednesday night I received a message on my phone from the HOA lady. She proceeded to tell me that I should've received a notice on my door about the concrete replacement going on this week. The concrete company has tried to reach me and they are unable to gain access to my driveway. If I do not return her call tonight or first thing in the morning they will stop work on my driveway and do someone else and I will be held responsible to complete my own concrete. I was livid! I called her that evening and she must've already left her office. I woke up bright and early Thursday morning (as I have been every other morning in order to open the garage door for their "access").

I talked to beast lady and tried to stay calm as I told her that the concrete company tore out my driveway on Monday and have done nothing since. I have been without a car since Sunday night and they have had complete "access" to my driveway. I talked to said concrete man Tuesday night myself. She immediately started apologizing, "I'm so sorry. Well the concrete man called me saying they couldn't get to your driveway." Well maybe they got the wrong house lady! I don't appreciate being told off on my answering machine when I've done nothing wrong. Nothing is being completed at my house and I'm not happy about it! "I'll call them right now and tell to come over and finish." Yeah, right, once again nothing happened all day. Bite me stupid lady!

Friday they finished breaking out the rest of my sidewalk. Saturday they came and poured my driveway and some of the sidewalk. They ran out of concrete and would have to finish the rest on Monday. They still have not returned as of yet. Shocking! All I can say, is if they decide to replace the rest of my driveway next year that was not done this year, I'm going to have quite the tantrum. I'm not going through this again!

New Concrete

This week my townhome and many others around me are getting our concrete redone. Great idea, right? Every year some of the concrete, paint, etc. gets fixed. Last year part of my driveway was redone, so I couldn't park in my driveway for a few days. This year the part under my garage door in being done along with a bunch of the sidewalk up to my front door. Yes, I feel like I'm stuck in my house.

So once again, I can't park in my garage. Ugh! I was hoping and praying that my house would be done today and not tomorrow. I had to open my garage door halfway early this morning in order for them to have access (in hopes they were coming). Hooray! They are right now working on mine! That means tonight and tomorrow I can at least park in my driveway. The concrete will begin on Wednesday until Friday. Let's hope mine is done on Wednesday. It'll sure be great when it's all complete. But it's a definite pain in my behind in the meantime. :)
