the adventures of ashley and peter.

Last night I felt like I was in the twilight zone! I was all set to go to bed at 1o. This NEVER happens, so I get ready for bed and I'm sitting in my room, with the door shut mind you, and low and behold Peter comes busting in. Little did I know what I was in for. He seriously cracks me up. He plops down on my bed and starts talking about his day and Emily his new love and other life dealings. I think we talked about everything under the sun. Halfway through we start talking about music, so of course he turns on his radio and comes back in my room and plants his arse on my bed once more. Then we start talking about Justin Timberlake and how fabulous he is and how Peter has grown to like him. And then I had to tease him...just about a month ago I left my new Justin cd in his cd player (HEAVEN FORBID AT THE TIME!) he walks into my room and tosses the cd on my bed and laughs that he doesn't listen to that kind of crap. It was hillarious. So 10 soon turned into 11:30 and then 11:30 turned into 1 when he finally decided he was tired enough to leave me alone. I don't know that I've ever laughed so hard in awhile. I think the moments that were the funniest is when there was a lull in the conversation and there I am laying under my covers and he's just sitting there. Although I am super tired today it was nice to hang out with him last night.

oh what the heck...

3. My junior year of high school i dropped out. Well... my mom pulled me out. But basically when you haven't gone for a month and a half straight, what's the point in being there. So I had to go get a job. Just so you all know, I did go back AND i graduated...on time might i add!

a little weird...

so...I had to go to the second floor today and make some colored copies. I had to make two ventures because we have these new copy machines that are like robots. No joke! Anyway... as I approach the elevator the door automatically opened, with no one inside and no one around either. Do I have an invisible door man? haha I didn't think anything of it at first, until I walked up the second time and it happened again! Weird huh. Ya I thought so too!

one small step for man...one GIANT leap for ashley

So this is a serious matter. A dorky one, yet very serious. Today was the second day probably in my whole life time that I was able to actually peel a banana and eat it. The first time was like a week ago. It wasn't the peeling of the banana that I couldn't do. Because that's really simple, you would have to be an idiot to not get a peel off a banana. If monkeys can do it, we can right? And of course I do enjoy a peanut butter and banana sandwich, or banana's in a fruit salad. But those are completely different things. I don't know why it's been such a struggle for me. But I think I've finally mastered my fear of eating a banana straight from the peel! I actually felt a little joy in over coming this. Who knows what I'll over come tomorrow! Maybe i'll over come the fact that I like to ignore my alarm clock... I'll be sure to let you know!

just look the other way...

I don't quite understand why people think it's okay to be shady! It drives me crazy! I guess I just don't understand that way of thinking. How by "fooling" everyone you'll get ahead in life and come out on top. It's rediculous! We have a deal that has been going on FAR too long. The buyer is an investor from California and I don't trust a damn thing about him! Contract after contract and a million extensions later hopefully this will be closing on friday. My boss talked to our client yesterday and it was a grim reminder of how long this has been going on. Her baby is now 3 months old, we received the FIRST contract the day she gave birth. I had to travel to Provo to get things signed, which is not a big deal nor the point. This buyer has put up SUCH a fuss about everything. He put down a BIG chunk of money towards these homes, he went in default of his contract which means our clients get the money he put down. And he doesn't "understand" this and made a huge fuss about how he needs the money to close on these properties and blah blah... but when it came down to it all, he called his attorney and threatened to sue everyone and "money isn't a problem, he'll hold these two properties up until he gets what he wants". I think I'm just done with dealing with him. Between him and the construction company we're working with I've had it. He's as shady as they come. Although...I did gain a phone crush on the other agent. He has a super hot voice and that's about the only perk to this whole crappy deal! Stupid investor.

omigosh! i'm so embarrassed!

I think I just totally flashed this agents clients! I had to go outside to run some paperwork to tool boy, and it's super windy...I tried to hold onto my skirt as best as I could, but I don't think I succeeded. I'm so embarrassed!

Real Estate Agents....ARGH!

Okay... So i'm all about using a Real Estate Agent in the sale or purchase of your home. I highly recommend it. However! Pick wisely! I work in a real estate office, which most of you might know. And seeing as i'm not an agent and i'm not violating any code of ethics rules or anything... I want to smack some agents! It seems that just anyone can go take the test and become an agent. The reason for my rant... This agent has called me two days in a row, and I just got off the phone with her again. She makes me want to pull my hair out! We have a client in short sale (which basically means...hi i stopped paying my mortgage) and she obviously is very privy to the short sale procedure...which I am not so much, but I'm learning! So for the past two days i've received these calls from this agent and have been lectured about what I'm doing wrong...and that I don't call the bank merely enough and so on... well hunny, I will GLADLY give you the number to the bank so that you can sit on hold for 30-60 minutes if not longer in the hopes of finally speaking with someone. I do understand this is important, so I try my best to stay on the line as long as I can. But I'm busy! Grrr, I just wanted to hang up on her! But I think I found the perfect time to call the bank! I only waited 4 minutes which is a miracle!

Anyway... I think I really like my friend Matt. We met a little over a year ago but it was right after he divorced his wife. So I knew that at that moment we were to just be friends. Not because he's divorced, but that's just not a time to jump into another relationship especially when the emotions are all over the place! He's super cute and I always smile when I get a text from him. Which is really dorky. He's working in Page Arizona right now and might be there until next summer. I'm not sure that anything would ever happen...it would be nice, but I'm not hoping for too much. I guess I'm writing about it because I just realized my feelings have changed. My goal is to be totally smokin hot when he comes back and then he won't know what hit him haha I feel so much like a little school girl right now... how dorky. lol I think I'll stop now!
