The Sky Is Falling
By Kristabella | July 21, 2008
I had all intentions of writing a BlogHer recap post, even just a small one, to tell you all about the absolutely fan-fucking-tastic time I had in San Francisco. I even started writing it in the airport this afternoon while I waited for my delayed flight to board and was a few feet from Y, who was probably doing the same thing.
And the post was all sappy and it gave me a toothache because the past four days were just awesome. There are no words. And I had the BEST ROOMMATES EVER. Note to all of you, hands off Slynnro and Ali, they are SO rooming with me next year. We are the Honesty Group.
But then my post changed when I walked in my house at the lovely hour of midnight and saw this:
First thought: WHAT THE FUCK DID THE CATS DO WHILE I WAS GONE?
Second thought: At least my cats didn’t die locked up in a hot, humid house for days on end.
Third thought: WHAT THE FUCK DID THEY DO?
Fourth thought: Look up, dumbass.
And so I did. And this is what I saw:
So shit fuck damn. My ceiling decided to FALL APART while I was away. That’s a hundred kinds of awesome.
But it totally gives me a reason to sleep in tomorrow and maybe not have to go in to work. I already called my boss’s voice mail to tell her HOLE IN CEILING. BAD. FAIL WHALE.
So my BlogHer recap is going to have to wait. And there are some good stories, including meeting Dooce, stealing Cheetos and showing Ali and Slynnro all about my crazy bond with taxi drivers.

I’m so sorry to see your apartment got angry with you being gone, out in the world having a blast! That sucks! I wonder if ceiling cat was trying to look in on your own cats while you were in SF? Anyway, enjoy sleeping in! Can’t wait to hear about BlogHer.

I seriously thought that those were pancakes on the ground.
That someone had snuck into your house and was making pancakes and then was about to get caught and they fled and there was the evidence.
I’m evidently hungry.

Stupid ceiling! I wouldn’t put such destruction past those cats, though…

Oh bummer about the ceiling, but excellent use of the situation to score a day off work.
Jen on the Edge’s last blog post..Wow!

Oh no, that’s terrible! Those damn cats, they were totally trying to bungee jump from your ceiling again. Probably emailed MY cats for instructions on how to do it.
(PS: It was great to meet you at last!)

What a great homecoming. A couple of years ago, we came home from a trip to Mexico in January to find our heater not working. We couldn’t get anybody out for 2 days! So in 4 degree weather, we had huddle around our gas fireplace for warmth. Fantastic. The good news was there was some serious cuddling *wink* going on.
Can’t wait to hear about Blogher!!

How did you meet your roomates? Did you go through some sort of freshman year pot-luck dorm assignment?

Yikes! Not something good to come home to…atleast you rent & can just CALL the apartment office to get it fixed. I can’t wait to hear what they say caused it. Too weird.

I bet your upstairs neighbors were perfecting, what I like to call, “hippopotami gymnastics.” My old upstairs neighbors were gold medalists.
And since they’ve moved out, I’ve had noisy construction workers replacing them. Try to imagine a bunch of potheads carrying slabs of granite and marble through narrow doorways. That sound? My new alarm clock.

Sucky about your ceiling! It was great to meet you in person finally even if it was short. The whole weekend went by so fast and I can hardly wait for next year, it was so much fun. Tell your landlord to grab a ladder and get his ass over, he’s got a patch job to take care of!
July 21st, 2008 at 2:58 pm
Damn cats!
lol.

Oh No! I can’t wait to hear more about BlogHer, Kristabella style. I agree that a hole in your ceiling is a great excuse to skip work.

This is why you should have a hamster as a pet. They don’t cause ceiling damage. (I don’t think…I should really start on that FAQ, question number one will be: Do hamsters cause ceiling damage?)

So glad I met you this weekend! Woo BlogCamp!

Crazy bond with taxi drivers!!! Tell us more!
July 21st, 2008 at 7:16 pm
Whoa! Crap. The cats were probably scared of you coming home and blaming them. They were all like “how do we explain this to the human? She’ll never beleive us. AND, we can’t talk!”
Glad you had fun and that you made it home safe.
July 21st, 2008 at 7:32 pm
The cats knew you needed to sleep in.

Can I borrow your cats for a while? I could use a day off and my ceiling is refusing to disintegrate on its own. Bastard ceiling plaster.

Isn’t it amazing how you automatically blame the cat? I always do. How awesome that you had a great trip! Can’t wait for the recap.

Sounds like you had a great time. And you met the famous Dooce…. Where’s BlogHer gonna be next year???

Sheri’s last blog post..Where Did it All Go???
July 22nd, 2008 at 12:18 pm
Oh, no! I once lived with five people in an old house (circa 1890’s!), and the plaster from the ceiling would fall almost every time it rained. And then we’d call the landlord, and he’d send someone over to paint it. Because clearly PAINT was the answer. Two weeks later it would fall again. Gah!
