1/2 Cup of Crazy

Where do I start with this... Adam and I have officially moved into our new place but let me backtrack for a minute. When we told our landlord we were moving, he found a new renter- duh. As I heard, this lady was kinda strange, but whatever- she wanted the house. Well, about 2 weeks ago, Adam was home alone working during the day. someone start knocking on the door. He figures it is a salesperson and doesn't answer. This same person starts looking in all the windows and yelling into them "Hello??" "Anybody home??" etc. purely annoying to say the least. Adam goes to the door and low and behold, it is the future tenant of our house just asking Adam when we were going to move out and then continues to talk to him for the next 30 minutes about her life story. Afterwards, Adam calls Tim (landlord) and tells him what happend. Tim apologizes because that is not how this is supposed to work but Adam really doesn't care that much but comes to the conclusion that she is looney tunes.

Last week, our lives go something like this: I fly out on Monday after packing up the house all weekend. Adam is in charge of picking up the U Haul on Wednesday, loading it all up so we can move in. Adam and a few of our friends load up the house and unload the furniture into the new place all in one day. I fly in at 11:30pm this night. Adam picks me up- tells me we got to move in that day- so he didn't have time to clean the house yet and we head over there......
in a situation like this you always think it is going to go fast. Until we get over there, there are a few things left behind and he completely forgot about our front closet. No biggie... but after 3 car loads and cleaning like crazy we finally get out of there at 4am... yes, 4am people which means I have been up for 24 hours at this point in time. Awesome. New renter is supposed to move in at 7am.

We left 2 things behind 1) our grill.. woundn't fit into the UHaul 2) our friend Adam had stored a rug and a chair in our garage. Not a big deal (Tim is sooooo laid back) and we would get it in the morning.

We sleep until about 10am on Thursday and wake up to voicemails from Tim saying how crazy lady is putting our stuff in the alley (really Adam's stuff) and we should probably get over there. We immediately head over to the house. Luckily the lady isn't there at this point. So, we load up the grill and ummm... can't find Adam's stuff ($2000.00 rug and chair). I kinda freak out- go down to talk to Neil and Pauline who luckily saved everything from the lady and put in their storage area for us after psycho started threatening to put it in the dumpster. Thank the Lord. Adam and I both discuss how sorry we feel for Neil and Pauline since they have to live with a crazy, but don't think much of it and head home.

That afternoon, I am un packing the kitchen. I leave a drawer empty for silverwear and keep thinking the next box is going to have our silverwear. (wedding silverwear, steak knives, etc). I can't find it so finally I ask Adam where he put it. He immediately doesn't remember packing it and this means, we freaking left it at the house. Crap. Another possible encounter with the lady. I tell Adam just to go over there (she came over to our house a few weeks back) and just get it from her. He goes over there and sees the lady and Pauline in the house, Adam peaks his head in the screen door (still standing outside). She is on the phone with Tim the landlord, but looks up at Adam. He kindly says "hey, we left our silverwear and just want to grab it real quick". She FREAKS OUT. And starts yelling at Adam saying " GET OUT! THIS IS MY HOUSE NOW!! YOU DON"T LIVE HERE ANYMORE. YOU LEFT THIS PLACE A COMPLETE MESS AND I HAVE HAD TO SPEND A LOT OF MONEY- GET OUT NOW!!!!
Adam was in such shock, he just left immediately......

(this is really long so here is the end of the convoluted story) Tim the Landlord kicked her out. She was such a pain in the A, he made her leave and the only way she could get her money back was to give us the silverwear back.... yep... she moved out this weekend and we finally got our stuff back today!!! yay! hahahahaha..... longest post EVER.
