It’s interesting being me right now.
Really, it is. Here’s just a small snippet of the craziness of my life right now…
Shower Scene
I get up this morning around 10, after a late night driving home from Portland to see my family for mother’s day weekend. The trip was good, hard at times seeing some family members I haven’t seen since they found out about my mess, but good.
I’m eating some cereal in the kitchen downstairs (only wearing a towel, as I was about to hop in the shower) when I see a car and two people pull into the driveway. Crap, I think. No more naked time for me this morning. Kinda weirded out (my agent told me not to expect anymore people by the house, and I haven’t seen anyone for weeks looking at the place) I head upstairs to hop in the shower, figuring they will just check the place out and leave.
So I’m in the shower, humming my way through some awful rap tune when the door cracks open half way.
I freak out a bit….then a voice yells, “Is anyone here?”
“Um…yes…”, I answer.
“Oh…are you in the shower?” (the water is clearly on and running…I chuckle)
“Yep, still here”
“Oh, my flier said the house was vacant”
“(me still showering) nope, not yet”
“OK, well, thanks”
“Yep”
(I continue my shower)
End Shower Scene
Yeah, welcome to my crazy life.
It’s actually a good thing I saw the couple when I was downstairs eating breakfast. I don’t normally have breakfast, but decided this weekend I need to eat more consistently, so I had some fruit loops (my friends gave me a box when they moved two weeks ago). Had I not seen them, and someone just opened my bathroom door and yelled in while I was showering…I probably would have grabbed some soap and started chucking the bars at the intruder. So, lucky day for him I guess.
Back To Work
I haven’t had access to my e-mail since Friday, so I’ve now got 154 e-mails to catch up on!
Down To The Wire
This week is a big test for me financially. I have $800 for my office lease I’m paying today, and payroll and a $1500 debt management plan payment that are due tomorrow. I have a nice couch I put up on craigslist last week that a lady is looking at tonite for $500-600.
If I sell the couch, I should be able to make everything this week. If not….well, like I said, my life is interesting.
After the shower scene today, it got me thinking…how much do male strippers make a night?
(Just kidding! That was me trying to be funny)

Fruit Loops won’t get you that far.
I guess I find it funny you got walked in on, random, awkward, but entertaining none the less. Hope you can get rid of that couch so that everything else falls into place, at least so far for May.
Good Luck on selling the couch!
Geez – If you’re not bad looking with good muscle tone and have any ability to sway your hips, being a male dancer might not be a bad idea.
Also, “older women” need a “plus one” male escort to various events. No sex involved, just looking good on her arm. Bonus? A free meal.
I really was quite kidding about the stripping. I can’t dance though I try!
Testing this new comment thingy.
He, he, I am sorry but I’m imagining the shower scene and it’s really funny !
Probably not to you at the moment, but nonetheless. Another good story to tell your friends over a beer in a couple of years time.
I feel for you debt kid!! I had something similar happen to me last Saturday. I’m in the process of buying my first home. My landlord has been showing my apartment like crazy. On Saturday my husband and I were sleeping in (it was 10 AM but a weekend) and all of a sudden we heard voices and then people were in our bedroom! When they discovered we were there you would think they would leave but NO they asked if it was OK to see the closet! I was floored (we do have a great apartment but still…) At first the hubby and I were angry but we’re laughing about it now.
okay, I’m sorry, but I did laugh at the shower scene. Not laughing at you, laughing with you, right?
I hope the couch sale worked out.
