CROW-LEE


So I am getting a little annoyed. Ever since I got married people always say my new last name wrong. Trevor said to get use to it, that most people do. But it just bugs me, &I feel like I am being petty or rude if I ever corrected them, so now there a bunch of people out there at church etc. who really just keep on saying it wrong. So I thought I would make it simple. CROW (Like the bird) LEE,
Crowley. We get it? Good.
Now speaking of Birds. Have you all seen that movie Failure to Launch? With Jessica Sarah Parker and Zooey Deschanel? You know throughout the whole movie how Zooey has to deal with this mocking bird that is living outside their apartment window and WONT shut up? &later in the movie she goes and buys a gun &shoots the mocking bird... WELL Someone better stop me from getting Trevor's shot gun! There is a Woodpecker that has decided to come by our window and peck away on this wood post oh just every morning around 7:30 (before I wake up) TO WAKE ME UP! For at least an hour...seriously. It isn't some cute bird sound with chirping or anything.... it is the loudest pecking sound! Ahhhhhh...
Speaking of waking me up... we can hear everything from our neighbors. The neighbors above us and the one next to us. See we live in this huge old mansion house that has been divided up into 5 apartments. So we share walls with three other people. One guy is really quiet lives on his own. There are bunch of college boys above us who we always hear because their stairs are right above where our bedroom is... lovely. But the worst is this other lady.... she is a piano and voice teacher and her piano shares a wall with our bedroom wall (NOT FUN WHEN TRYING TO TAKE NAPS! esp. when the piano player or singer... well sucks.) Besides hearing her late night date nights when guys come over at, oh just 1 in the morning, the other night me and Trevor get into bed and all of sudden we both go... "What is that? Is that snoring?" Yes. The lady had some dude spend the night and he was snoring, and we could hear him! IT WAS SO LOUD! I couldn't believe we could actually hear it through the wall into our room. AH I want out of this apartment.
Sorry for the complaining... but all this noise is driving me crazy. I am loosing sleep... which is probably why when I got back my Advanced American National Government Midterm paper I saw I wrote Jim Choo instead of John Yoo... WOW. Either I was sleep deprived or couldn't stop thinking about shoes, not really sure!

  1. hahaha. you need seep, but seriously Jim Choo? that is hilarious. I have done that before when I wake up early to finish papers? ;)

    And don't worry my last name is 50 times harder then yours it is polish and the ending is "wicz" which is pronounced "witz" who knew? haha.

  2. we just got new neigbors in the townhouse beside us. they leave a tv on upstairs all day & night. i swear those kid shave to be going deaf. not only can i hear it in the bedroom that shares a wall with them but across the hall in the bathroom. & i heard the dad yelling (cussing) at his little kids the 1st day, so I am predisposed to dislike him! So glad we only have 2 more weeks here. sorry for my rant.
    love the explanation of your last name!

  3. While I love the old houses here, I def. wouldn't live in a duplex or triplx, or whatever a 5-plex would be called. Our condo is loud enough, and we have CONCRETE walls and ceilings =[ I hope you can catch up on your sleep, and I'm very sorry you're having to deal with all that!

  7. You should be used to people saying last names wrong since people would pronounce your last name wrong - except when you moved to Utah. Maybe you need to invest in some earplugs. Sorry about the noise and lack of sleep. That would drive me crazy!! I love the picture on your post - it's darling :)

  10. Just wait until you have kids. 50% of all arguments in our house are precipitated by 4 hours of senseless noise.

  12. People say and spell my name wrong all the time. I tell my husband I might have to change it back if it doesn't stop. All our utility bills are wrong and it drives me crazy!

    I see you got married in the Oakland Temple. It's so beautiful!

  15. I love that the snoring man made you think of me. I miss you too. Do you want me to bring my BB gun for the woodpecker? It will draw less attention that the shotgun.

  16. You know, I just thought of something. It's not just your last name they've been pronouncing wrong your entire life but even your first name - and even people who should know better!!! I guess your doomed to a life of mispronunciation.

  23. Hey I just found your blog. So cute! And people used to get my name wrong all the time. Everybody would call me by my last name (before I got married) because they thought it was my first name. So annoying. I'm like what makes you think my last name would be AMY?! Haha...

    I'm your newest follower. :)
