Apartment Shopping

12:15 PM....home for lunch...."Mike, can you give me a ride to look at an apartment, I am supposed to be there at 12:30 to meet the owner". Of course I couldn't take her though, as I had to get back to work.

6:15...middle of a beautiful nap...."bang bang bang...Miiiiike...are you in there?" I walk and open the door. "Nice boxers." "WHAT do you want lora?" "Can you take me to look at an apartment...I have to be there at 6:30." "FINE lora".

I get dressed and we head to the apartment. It is in Tonawanda pretty far down on Delaware. I park the car and she tells me that I should smile more. I threaten to leave here there and leave. We walk to the place and she tries to open the door. It is locked. I sit on the sidewalk with Sehla. Lora tells me to come look in the windows to see the place. I say i don't care. She is persistent so I go. I ask where the landlord is. She calls him and there is no answer. "Chase me...Chase me...Chase me..." starts all over again. I contemplate whether I'll ever have kids. Sehla takes my hat and puts it on. She then puts it on her mom. I didn't like that one bit. Sehla runs to the back yard. I walk after her to get away from the 10000 questions that the mom is asking me. Lora calls the landlord again. She wasn't supposed to be there until 7:30. I tell her that I hate to be the bad guy, but we have to leave. I was SUPPOSED to be on a date but I'm putzing around trying to help her so that she'll be able to leave my house and it turns out we are one hour early. I'm now the bad guy.

I feel bad and offer to take her to get an area apartment guide. I have seen them at My Tomato Pie so we head that way. We get there and I tell Lora to go get it. She makes some weird comment about how she got a bunch of mosquito bites at that house and it must be from her pheremones, and she wonders why only mosquitos are nibbling on her. I say "if you are lucky, i'll still be here when you come out." She reiterates that she thinks I'm mean.

Sehla notices a bug bite on her leg. The tears start a'flowin. "I HAVE AN OWIE. OWIE. OWIE. I NEED A BAND AID." The remainder of the car ride is constant noise. Lora tells me she feels bad I have to deal with the screaming. I said "what?" She said sorry you have to deal with the noise. I said "Its ok, I am quite capable of blocking both of you out." She punches my shoulder and we pull into the driveway. Lora asks me to go to the movies with her and Sehla to see charlie and the chocolate factory. ...um...let me think about that....NO.

Lesson Learned: No more taking trips with Lora and Sehla.
