Well, thank goodness!

How can I move into THAT neighborhood? 

cleaning

I have two last boxes that I can't seem to get unpacked.  Both of them contain books.  One is a box of my recipe books.  I've collected a few over the past few years and I love the wonderful pictures in them.  While I may never make MOST of the dishes in them, I still love it when somebody gives me a cookbook.  So, I have several.

The other box contains my antique books.  I dont want to cram them onto my existing bookshelves because that would mess up the casual chic feel I've got going on already.

here's my problem: I have one shelf and two brackets and I need TWO shelves and EIGHT brackets.  So, unless God pulls some loaves and fishes act, I think I'm going to have to make another trip to IKEA in the near future.  That just means that my dear friend, the Soccer Coach, is going to get to help me hang two more shelves.  *big grin*  We're pros at it now, aren't we, Coach? 

I've been in this apartment since March and so STILL having two @#%^ boxes sitting around, upon which I now habitually stub my toes, is REALLY ANNOYING.

A trip to the storage unit is definitely in order.  Maybe this weekend I'll FINALLY get all of this stuff DONE!

I took the day off today to spend it with my brother, who drove into town last night.  We had a great time today; picking up Mom's birthday present, shopping, waiting 45 minutes for TACO CABANA (WTHeck) and, in general, laughing until our sides hurt.  We did a little swimming this afternoon and all went out for dinner.  I'm pooped.  I bowed out of evening visiting because I really want to come home and relax but what do I do when I get here?  Start cleaning. 

So that brings us back around to the beginning of the post...  Don't you love a tidy ending?

No New Mail

I sent an open email to Senator McCain, the Republican Nominee for President on June 14.  Today is June 24 and I have recieved no response.  This is a very curious thing because, if I was on his staff, I'd been keenly interested in winning BACK that long-time Republican voter who voted Democrat in the primary. 

• Maybe he's assuming it was a Rush Limbaugh tactic 


• Maybe he's assuming I will just go ahead and vote Republican in the big show in November. 

Maybe somebody on his staff should tell him what happens when you assume.

ROFL

walking

I'm going walking tonight.  I need to tone and this is the best way.  Get out and walk with a pal.  I hate this stuff but I just have to do it.  And wno knows, I might actually have a little fun.

I did my pilates earlier and I can already feel it in my arms.  I hate fitness.

I'm Going BLIND

Editing logos is making me crazy.  But they are going to look SO cute when they are finish. 

Rehearsal last night was...interesting.  It reminded me a little of high school, where we would watch the choreographer figure out what she wanted us to do DURING rehearsal.  There was a lot of standing around but it was still fun.  I think it will look really cute once it's finished, once we know what the heck we're supposed to be doing (besides kicking invisible sand at each other) and swinging towels around.

Thursday here

You know, working four-day weeks is pretty freakin' cool.  It's already thursday for me.  WHOO HOO!

Workin' on the website today.  Making minor changes to content; sprucing up by adding more graphics, hotkeys and a few more bells and whistles to our pretty site.  I REFUSE to make it look like a myspace page so you won't see any rolling banners, flashing icons or tickers, for gawd's sake....  *barf*

*giggle*  (not that I have any opinions about that)

Y'all have a happy day!
