Friday: Got off work and waited for Time Warner to come and install my internet. He came an hour early(he called to ask if he could, I got off work early and said hell yeah) and he ended up getting my internet set-up rather quickly. I was happy. Couple friends stopped over to check out the place, but I was pretty busy the whole night.
I had to buy a new piece of shit computer desk, because the old one I have(which I love) is way to big for the basement and I am just going to tear it down and get rid of it. I put that shitty ass desk together(it was $30 from Wal-Mart after all) and set up my computer, router, ect. I had to buy an extention cord and I went to Kroger to get one. After I came back, I realized I got the wrong one and had to buy a new one. On my second trip back, Brittany came with me and decided to rent Fred Claus for $1. After my friends left, I hooked up my internet to my 360 late at night. Seems to be working perfectly, *knock on wood* and I went to bed after downloading some free boring arcade game.
Fred Claus was a funny movie. I highly enjoyed it and will be looking forward to it coming to Buybacks. Vince Vaughn remains to be one of my favorite comedic actors and I enjoy his work. I love his trademark very fast rambling that doesn't make any sense what-so-ever. I'd recommend the movie, especially during Christmas time.
Saturday: We wake up and have the in-laws over to install our new garage door opener. Before he installs it, he noticed fast leaking from our ceiling(I know-fucking horseshit). Of course, no one goes emergency repairs on Weekends, so we have been living WITHOUT water this entire weekend. Luckly, her dad lives 30 seconds from our house and we have been showering there for now. I've had to switch the water on long enough for the toilets to refill for another flush, it's terrible.
To top it off, her mom brings over three kids to my house while I already have 10 people in the house including me and they are annoying little fuckers who keeps breaking and touching everything. I seriously thought I was going to go crazy. The mom came to pick her demon children up and made a comment about having kids to me. I said "After dealing with your kids, I'll wait 10 years." I hope she got the FUCKING POINT.
Direct TV was supposed to show up between 8am-12pm. So, naturally I got up at 7:50am, to prepare for him. The fucker calls at 10am saying that he has one job ahead of me and should be there by 12pm-12:15pm at the latest, I said that's fine. He doesn't show up until 1 PM! Then he takes over 2 hours to hook it up. I was like FUUUUCK. He finally got finished and left. I do love my Direct TV, I'm not going to lie.
Friday night I was having issues with setting up the internet on my ps3. Now, I've always had issues with setting the damn thing up to the internet, so naturally it gave me issues again. I got it up and running finally, but it probably will continue to have problems.
I did test out Playstation Home however and found it to be pretty nice. It will be a lot nicer once it leaves the beta stage.
Sunday: I had to go to a Christmas party I absolutely didn't want to go to. After that ended, we came home to finish installing the garage door with her step-dad. Seems to be working OK as of right now. After he left, Brittany and I watched the Bucket List. Was pretty good, I enjoyed it. Sad, but good. I am Legend came on and I watched it for a bit until going to sleep.
I've spent so much money on small shit it's added up, let me show you totals:
Kroger(grocery) - $160
Lowes - $385 ($125 of that was gift cards though)
Wal-Mart - $80
This sucks. Being a home owner is overrated.

Once you become a homeowner you might as well hold out your wallet and kiss your money away. Trust me there a lot of unexpected costs that will come up, but the freedom of doing what you want to the crib is nice. Once you're completely settled in you'll look back at all the headaches and say it was worth it.
