Fez and Maria
I really like these guys. I even feel guilty for calling Fernando "Fez" all the time privately..but man, the resemblance is spooky. I'm writin' about them as i went to their party over the weekend and have some good impressions now.
First of all...the inside of the house is like an F'n' model home. Really pissed me off. Colorful paint, all brand new furniture...upgrades on everything...it really made me start to view my house like my old college apt. They went microsuede with EVERYTHING. Even the kitchen chairs. Here are the things that stuck out the most
1) The paint: now while the colors were really bright and it REALLY helped add to the warmth of the house..it was sloppy. I found smears and light smudges all over the place..still, looks WAY better then my eggshell white that is plain and dull. It convinced me i MUST paint. Makes the house look WAY better. So, i put that on my "to do list. Plus...the colors they used reminded me of a Mentos commercial. Too bright
2)The upgrades in their house are sweet. They got stainless steel everything..nicer vinyl..hardwood floors...and the cabinets are awesome. I didn't even have those to choose from in my house...which leads me to believe different models have different upgrades obviously. Their house is the biggest in the sub..not sure why when it's only the two of em'...but i'm sure they paid more and probably got a better package of crap to choose from. I was really bummed tho..again, REALLY made a difference...got me thinking of putting knobs on my cupboard doors.
3) Maria came to the US two years ago...she was a sitter for this family that was at the party...kinda fishy...there were awkward glances and stammers when i asked about it...Fernando is an electrical engineer...not sure what maria does besides look cute and work on her english...but she's good with my girls when she's been around. Fernando invited me to his poker party that starts 5/12...that should be good...
4) Pary itself: Was kinda exclusionary. It was one of those parties where only a few people knew each other and everyone looked as if they came from a different walk of life. Normally i would thrive in this environment, but with Carly in tow I was on serious kid watch..she just housed one of their microsuede chairs with a fistfull of strawberries....I think it was their wedding party that was there..maria's adopted family..a couple of his co-workers..another guy that only spoke spanish..me and carly and two corona's...that was it for me
5) Back to their furniture. While it was beautiful i knew it was from artvan cause i almost bought the exact same dining room table they had and recognized the sofa's. I didn't cause i have the two girls. There is NO WAY anyone with little kids would own the stuff they have...which coincidentally they are gonna try next year to have one...say hello to carpet cleaner people...that stuff is gonna be trashed.
6) Overall, the party was lame, which i knew it would be the instant i walked in and heard daniel powders' "bad day" on the radio. But they are really nice. For neighbors, i'm happy.....
