Karen's Blog of the Week: Stories from Apartment Managers
I just looked out the window to discover that the sky is blue. We've had, like, three consecutive days of rain here in Southern California, so I'd almost forgotten what blue sky looks like.
In case you're wondering, yes, we did have the parade yesterday. And yes, it did rain the entire time. And I sat in the truck while I made another mom ride in the back with the girls.
And it might not have mattered because I seem to have woken this morning with the sniffles and scratchy throat anyway. Go figure.
Anyways, I hope y'all are having a great weekend and that the weather hasn't treated you too badly in your little corner of the world!
But now, it's time to get down to business. The business of this week's Blog of the Week: Stories from Apartment Managers!
Despite reading dozens of blogs on a daily basis, I rarely get to feature the blog of someone I know. This is partly because a couple of them are private, and mostly because most of them rarely get updated. And, of course, in order to be picked as my Blog of the Week, my one basic criterion is that you have to post at least once a week or so.
That being said, Stories from Apartment Managers is written by someone I know. Someone who's hoping to stay relatively anonymous because she is still a current Apartment Manager and, well, she'd sort of like to avoid retaliation if any of her tenants were to happen across the blog and discover her identity and be offended. Or worse.
You can imagine the kinds of stories an Apartment Manager might have. Especially those of you who do now or have ever lived in an apartment. I'm guessing most (hopefully all) of you haven't been guilty of the kinds of things she writes about, but you've definitely had neighbors that were!
I actually just found out about this blog fairly recently and I sat and read, like, eight or ten posts in a row because I just couldn't believe some of the stuff that happens in her complex. From the frisky old couple, to the reason why I will never use a stationary bike in the workout room of an apartment building, there are some CUH-RAZY tales of her experiences managing apartments over the last three years. It's some seriously awesome reading!
Plus, she's currently having a giveaway! If you enter by December 18, you could win a $50 Target Gift Card!
So go check out Stories from Apartment Managers and say hello. This is one of my newest must-reads and I think it'll be one of yours, too!
And then have a Happy Sunday!
