Oh Hai

Oh hello there long lost blog readers! Maybe it was me that was lost. Who knows. Anyway. Sorry I've been lacking in the posting department. A mix of being sick and lazy, plus no decent laptop for two weeks and no internet for a couple of days. But all is mostly back to normal now and I have a few posts in the works and they should be up soon. And more on the back burner of my mind. Lots of pics and lots of changes. So stay tuned.

Random Crap

I actually wrote most of this post over a week ago and forgot to post it. Than a lot of what I talked about here changed. So here is the update to the post you never read. Yay!

 

OK, this will be much more condensed this time. I promise.

- I've become mildly obsessed with HGTV. A TV channel I barely knew existed 3 months ago is now my default channel. I love watched the redecoration shows and the home buying shows. My favorite is now House Hunters International. Which I just found out last night that the show is actually staged. To say I'm disappointed would be an understatement.

- I had every intension last week of completely forgetting my age and going to the midnight premier of Eclipse. Unfortunately real life and reality of home ownership reared its head when Chris called as I reached the theater with the news that our sewer was backing up into the house. Thankfully it wasn't too bad and wit was easily fixed the next day, but still, not being able to use your toilet for a night is kinda rough.

- Chris got his deep cleaning last Wednesday. He was stressing out about this almost as if the dentist had said he was pulling out each tooth and replacing it barbed wire without any pain meds. The whole thing actually went completely without incident. The dentist completed the whole thing in one sitting and he didn't even need any Novocain. However, it may be a few weeks for his emotions to recover.

- We finally got rid of one of our old couches. The other is in our office where it works actually pretty well, but is supposed to go to Chris's sister whenever she can find a way to get it to Arizona. The house is starting to feel more and more ours. Right now I mostly want to get rid of the ugly valences that she had up. They're so ugly and even worse, they're from the previous owners. I just want them gone. But new valences are like $15 each and I need at least 10 for the living and dining rooms (big window) and another 6 for the bedroom. That's way too much money. S they stay. Sadly.

- Bart has become beyond obsessed with getting outside and will stand at the door and just cry pathetically. I've noticed lately that he's picking up some real bad habits to get what he wants. Some training may be in order.

- I've had little to no desire to do any work lately. It's not that I don't have plenty to do. I just have no desire or motivation to do any of it. I'm so tired at work, and typically spend the day wishing I was home, where I can accomplish the things I'd really would rather be accomplishing and counting the hours until my next day off.

- I'm going kinda crazy waiting for MCR to finally announce the release of their new CD.

- At this point Chris and I doing any sort of vacation this summer is looking more and more like it's just not happening. I am pretty disappointed/upset about this. At this point I don't think we'll ever be able to have an actual vacation.

- We've been discussing getting me a new car. I'm torn because I have a little over a year and my car will be paid off. I do like my car, my first brand new car and it's been a great car. But it's coming up to a mileage where taking care of it is going to start getting expensive. I have equity into the car so we're pretty sure I can get a better car for similar payments a month. A new car would be nice. But I'm not sure I'd want to leave a new car at the vanpool meeting spot at the Wal-Mart parking lot or take a new car out to the faire site and leave it in the dirt parking lot. If I knew we would have a baby then I would probably take the plunge for a more family friendly car, but I'm not sure I want to if that never happens. If it's just gonna be the two of us might as well go for the smaller 2-door. Anyway, we started looking last week and I like some of the options. And we'll probably so some more looking this weekend. A lot will depend on if Chris's sister wants to buy my car or not.
