Okay, so I thought I was done blogging about "the happenings" but we had a major problem last night...okay, maybe not major but it sure seemed like it at the time. Yesterday afternoon, the maintenance men for the apartment shut down the water to do testing of the pipes. When they turned the water back on, there was a huge crack in one of the pipes and the sheetrock came crashing down in one of the other rooms in the building before they got to it in time. All this had no effect on our apartment however since the pipe was located in one of the other wings. So the maintenance men replaced the pipe and started work on repairing/replacing the sheet rock. How we got affected was when I went to run the water in the bathroom and saw that it was yellow from the new pipe (Ewww!). So I called tom and asked him what I should do. He told me to just let the water run in the bathroom sink and tub for 10 minutes until it cleared up. So that's what I did. I left it running while I took our neighbor across the hall on a tour of the damage to the some of the rooms. When I got back, the sink had overflowed and completely covered the floor in water and was running out onto the carpet in the hallway and our bedroom. My first course of action was to shut of the water. Second course was naturally to call Tom, who came up and vacuumed all the water up and cleaned the carpet with maintenance's equipment (a nice perk of living at the where we do...)

He's did such a good job...I just stood and watched as there was nothing I could do. He did all the hard labor of course and I cleaned the bathroom because everything had to be wiped down and the floor had to be mopped since it was covered in dirty grime from the water. I just kept thinking that at least I got a clean bathroom out of the deal!

I just wanted to include some pics from our friend "S" surprise party, this is him being led to the park where we were all waiting to yell "surprise!"

I always think the same thing when I have a spill. "At least it forces me to clean". :) Thankfully thee wasn't any major damage.
