Funny story of the day...

Let us preface this by saying we have a really nice female neighbor, our first week here she said she left flowers outside our door and wanted to be sure we got them...we didn't but thanked her for her kindness and welcoming gift!

Yesterday Bobby (apartment manager and friend) came to hang out and discuss cheaper rent...or listen to us discuss a cheaper rent proposal after having sent a few excel spread sheets breaking down what we felt was a reasonable amount to pay for August considering the head hurt on mailbox incident. He now refers to us as Thelma and Louise...and we call him John Dilinger so it's a very healthy friendship! Anyways, midway through our talk he gets a call and says the police are here! Instantly excited by the new change of subject we inquire about the strange turn of events. He notes that there was a fight between two tenants about a half hour prior but we were at the gym... he was shocked we missed it! When he returns to us anxiously awaiting the story he gives us the juicy details:

The female tenant who lives two doors down has a boyfriend who moved in with her this year. I think he's been living there for over half a year. Apparently she met one of the tenants who lives above on the 3rd floor and they hit it off and became good friends... one thing led to another and there were love letters, texts, chocolates, etc. all eventually intercepted by her boyfriend...the climax of this story comes when both the 3rd floor male tenant delivered a gift to the door of the lady and her boyfriend (what the heck was he thinking?!) and the boyfriend answered the door and it was appppparently an all out brawl. YIKES! The catch of the story, also written up in the police report according to Bobby, was that this 3rd floor tenant started the drama by delivering flowers to his love (who lives with her boyfriend next door to us) a few weeks ago and in order to hide the flowers from her boyfriend (which he caught on to).......she delivered the flowers to us as a "welcome gift!" Oh the drama that is connected to us even in the smallest of ways! We'll keep you updated on how this story evolves now that the police are involved!

THORN: Our kitchen rug was really dirty and wet from hammering the ice out of the mini fridge so we hung it out the window ... well we forgot about it and today went to look for it and it had fallen onto the awning that goes over the sushi restaurant below us ... not sure what to do and somewhat distracted we forgot about this. Today when we left the apartment, a bum ... or homeless individual to be politically correct, i think, had made it his new jacket. It's somewhat like the colors of a poncho and fairly attractive looking on him. We're happy to have done our good deed!

LOVE YOU ALL!
