Well I am going to try and keep this short and sweet since most of my plans for this weekend were drastically changed due to an emergency. You see my toilet flooded but it didn’t just flood through the toilet. Nope that would be too easy.
You see it flooded down through the wall into my basement. It even “crawled” part way through the wall and into the light in my basement. It ended up filling half a bucket with water. Fun times I tell ya. I had to call multiple plumbers because Emergency Plumbers really means, we are too busy for your emergency. My shutoff valve was stuck and wouldn’t shut off. The main shutoff is in the unit next door and the tenant wasn’t home. It eventually got done but not until I called the cops. Fun times I tell ya. Anyoo, on to the weekend.
1. Snuggling with Seamus while watching The Man of Steel (Holy Abs) 2. My attempt to get through my pile of magazines. 3. What happened at 9am and didn’t end till 4:30 pm. Yup my leaky toilet (to be continued on Monday) 4. Finally relaxing with an Angry Orchard Cider 5. Amazing breakfast on Saturday Morning 6. I was stuck in the shopping plaza for a few hours while my remote car starter was being installed. Luckily they had a TGIFridays where I had lunch. Then I went to the Starbucks and Barnes and Noble for the free Wifi 7. While I was there I did a Random Act of Kindness (sneak peak).
It is also the time to linkup with Beauty and the Greek and Lip Gloss and Lunges for the monthly favorite things. So these are a few of my favorites lately.
The Following – I am so excited this show is back! I am loving it and Joe Carroll is alive!
Angry Orchard Green Apple – I love this cider, pretty much all the flavors are good but love the green apple.
H&M Smokey Eyeshadow – Perfect browns and great range of dark to light, matte to shimmer. For under $6 you can’t go wrong.
Starbucks Mug I don’t like the coffee so I used a gift card for a new mug.
Healthy Sexy Hair – I got this in my January Ipsy Bag and I am loving it! Even more so than the It’s a 10 product and it is cheaper too.
Well that is it for me. I think I am coming down with a cold so I am going to go rest. Happy Monday.
Also linking up with Leeann from Join the Gossip for Monday morning gossip.
UGHHHHH. Water issues are freaking awful.
Yeah I am dreading what they are going to say and charge me. The guy that was here on Sat said $599 just to take the toilet off and plunge the pipe?! What?!
BOOOO for the leak!! that totally sucks. i really hope everything dries out fast and that you get that fixed, pronto.
get in with major cuddles with seamus to feel better!! hugs
Thanks! Yeah hoping they get in and get out fast today. Seamus snuggles makes everything better.
Sorry about the flooding toilet, but it looks like you managed to have a good weekend anyways! I can’t wait to see what you are up to this week with the Random Acts of Kindness!
Yes, it was still a really good weekend. It was fun and I got to be sneaky again. 😉
I cannot believe that about your toilet. Kerry that is awful. What ended up happening? Is everything fixed now? Ugh, that sucks so bad. It would have ruined my entire weekend. But at least it looks like you made the best of it. I loved your breakfast the other day, it looked delicious. I am also a huuuge fan of “The Following”. Those twins are so sick. Also, I wish the Healthy Sexy Hair worked better in my hair, it doesn’t. My head of craziness is too damaged. Ugh. Have a great week girl.
I am actually home today to have it fixed. They are supposed to come between 10-2 so just waiting. It was a very yummy breakfast and it fueled my morning for sure. I so love the Following. It is so good. That stinks it doesn’t work for you. It really sticks to my hair and doesn’t leave residue behind which I love, but I know it really depends on how your hair reacts to it. Have a great week!
Oh no! What a nightmare. Hope you get to relax this week.
Thank you. I am hoping the end of the week gets better.
Water flooding is like my biggest nightmare and fear! I finally learned the other day how to cut off the water to my toilet! Love that healthy sexy hair it is amazing!
Yes, knowing where the cutoff valve is located is so important. The Healthy hair really does wonders for my hair too.
Oh my goodness, what a bummer!!! I had a leak in my ceiling the last time it rained. Not as bad as yours, but I definitely feel your pain! At least I had a landlord who was required to take care of it for me. Good luck! 🙁
Oh the joys of home ownership! Haha! Glad you have someone else who has to take care of it.
Oh no!! What a nightmare to have to deal with. I’m so sorry!!
It was so not fun to deal with, but they are coming today to hopefully fix it. Thanks!
Omg… That is terrible! I’m so sorry you had to deal with that!
Thank you. It has been a trying morning but it will hopefully work out.
The Following is definitely one of my favorite shows. SO GOOD. And love Angry Orchard!!
I am so happy it is back. Such a great show. Can’t go wrong with Angry Orchard, all their flavors are good.
ohh no I am so sorry about the flood that is no fun at all!!
It will be a few days of work for sure. Oh well. At least insurance will cover a good portion of it.
oh no!! I am so sorry about your toilet. that is a total nightmare!!
Thanks. Yes, they are going to have to rip out the ceiling and walls. Good side, I get new ceiling and walls.
That is water coming out of your light?! Oh my goodness! So sorry that happened friend…hopefully gets fixed soon. I’d be all stressed about it too.
Yup, it traveled through the ceiling and down the light. 🙁 Hoping insurance will cover a good portion of it.
Oh no!! So sorry to hear about the pluming issues – hopefully it can only go up from here! Love the color palette from H&M!
Yes, bright side is I get a new ceiling and walls. The color palette is the best combination of browns.
Plumbing is th eworst! I hope you get it fixed soon! I will have to try the green apple angry orchard – I normally like their stuff. And they are finally building an H&M in my mall so thanks for the eyeshadow rec!
I just found out they are going to have to rip out most of my basement so the fun is just beginning. Though at least I will get a new ceiling and no mold. The H&M eyeshadow is really great and the colors are a good range.
Sorry about your toilet. Eek.
I also love The Following. Those twins are creepy as heck.
Thanks! Those twins are so creepy, the more evil one especially.
Oh gosh! So sorry about your toilet flooding issues! I really like the Healthy Sexy Hair line! I like their light hold hairspray! That coffee mug is also too cute! Thanks for sharing your favorite things with us!
Thanks! I love the Healthy sexy Hair line too, it doesn’t leave residue on my hair like other brands. Thanks for hosting.
Sounds like you really needed a hard cider after all that flooding! 🙁 I got that in my Ipsy bag too, but I haven’t tried it yet.
Thanks SO much for linking up with us!
Yes, many more ciders are needed. Oh, you need to try it, it made my hair feel so smooth.
Isn’t the Angry Orchard AWESOME?!?! I work for a Beer distributor so I am always trying out new brews and this is one of my favorite brands. It is also one of our top sellers as a company, pretty amazing if you ask me… Just a little heads up Mike’s is coming out with a new Apple Cider, and its going to be pretty tasty as well!!!
Yes, I love all their flavors. I did see a new Mike’s Hard Strawberry lemonade too that looks good, I bet their Cider would be good too.
Oh no! Toilet issues are the worst! Good thing there was some cider to make everything a bit better!
The cider made it a little bit better! 🙂
I hope you had THREE Angry Orchards after all that!
I did have three, how did you know. I would have one tonight too but now I am drugged up on cold medicine! Plus demo starts tomorrow so having a hangover would be really bad. Haha!
That sucks about your toilet!! My husband and I love watching The Following – but we always try to watch it during the day, lol!
Thank you. Yes, it is a little creepy so it helps watching during the day to prevent nightmares!!
Oh no! Sorry to hear about the flood. THat’s never fun 🙁 I have a magazine pile that unfortunately beats yours and it just keeps growing!!! I’m slowly trying to go through it but I love my books and blogging most of the time. That breakfast looks scrumptious and I wish it was the weekend so I could have something that looks that yummy tomorrow morning!
They just seem to pile up. I much prefer reading books and blogs anyways. It was the perfect breakfast to start a busy morning.
Please tell me I’m not the only one with an inappropriate crush on Joe Carroll. I mean, I still want him to die… but damn is he sexy!
You are not alone. He is so dark and mysterious and oh so sexy.
Angry orchard green apple? Sounds yummy! I hope you have a much better week doll!
It is so good and not very beer tasting. Thank you, I am hoping so too.
So excited to see more of your Be The Change project! 🙂
Thank you. I am so excited to be doing it and sharing it with everyone.
I’m so sorry about the flood, geez that’s terrible! At least you had Seamus for moral support right 🙂 I am loving Angry Orchard too, so tasty!
Seamus is making it much less stressful. He gives lots of love to make it better. Angry Orchard is so good. They go down a little too smooth! 😉
i’ve been in 3 apartments that have leaked–always from another apartment–and it SUCKS. i hope everything is back to normal soon! and that your week is awesome.
Thank you. Hoping everything goes smoothly and hope everything will be put back together soon enough.
so sorry about your bathroom issues! No good. and I hate apple orchard lately. What is wrong with me?
Thank you. It was not fun dealing with it, but it will get fixed. Wait, what?! What is wrong, are you sick? Do you need a doctor? Hehe. I go through spurts with certain drinks so I get it.
Oh shoot, I’m sorry about the flooding issues! I have to admit your photo and caption kind of made me laugh though…hope it’s solved soon!
And that cider looks delicious. LOVE ciders, pear’s a fav!!!
Thank you. It will all get fixed in time. I love a good cider and this one is really good. Pear ciders are the best!
I am SO sorry to hear about your plumbing adventures. I hope it’s resolving quickly – I’ve been seeing stuff on Instagram. No fun. 🙁
That smokey eye kit looks amazing. I really like the selection of colors. I may just have to get one. 🙂
Thank you! It will get resolved in good time. I love the range of browns in that kit and have been using it everyday. Total worth the $6 price tag.
Catching up on your blog and YIKES! The same thing happened to my ILs in 2009, except it was a bedroom toliet and it leaked into their kitchen and dining space. The entire kitchen needed to be redone 🙁 I’m glad you have the savings for the repair! Some of the joys of homeownership we have to look forward too!
Oh the joys of home ownership. The good thing is I can still live in my home, that I still have a home and that I can afford to get it fixed. If it is not one thing it is another. You have many of these trials to look for now that you are buying a home. Don’t worry it is worth it, most of the time! 😉
