The yard sale went pretty good. Sold a bunch of stuff and whatever didn't sell we donated - I did NOT want it back in the house. (Side note: Haha, it's 4:20). There's still a lot in the house that can be purged. I just ran out of time getting to it. But now that I don't have a looming must-do-this-by date, well I don't mind taking my time. Although I'll be cursing myself for sure as to why I didn't do it when I was so gung-ho to purge crap from the house.
Oh and most of the stuff in the garage needs to be trashed because we apparently have a water leakage problem down there. There seems to be a crack in the garage wall where a downpour spout comes and doesn't drain into the yard, it drains into the wall. Which it turns out it's impossible to drain into a wall and it just creates a crack and leaks into the house. Who knew? So now that Matt has weekends off he can no longer slack off on stuff to do around the house, as I will be home with him and can nag him to do it. Because if a wife isn't there to nag, then why is she there?
That was a lot of sarcasm for one paragraph.
My birthday was this past weekend. It was nice. Matt took me out to eat on Saturday night. We went to Wolfgang Puck's in Cool Springs. They had a hockey game on Versus, so that was nice to sit there and watch it. I really want cable now so I can watch more hockey. But I digress. On Sunday we went to my Dad's house and he took us out to eat at Macaroni Grill. It was good. I got some nice gifts including a new game for the Wii. Carnival Games is really fun. If you get the chance to play it, you should. Good times. I also got XM radio for a year.
I love it. It's really great. I had also gotten Predators playoff tickets, but of course it was before my birthday. Matt and I bought each other a ticket to game 2 here at home. Then my Dad got us tickets to game 3 here at home for our birthdays. So I got a little hockey-ness thrown in there as well.
With the money I received for my birthday I bought myself a new digital camera. It's a Nikon Coolpix. I really love it. Major upgrade from my 3.2 megapixel Cybershot. It's got 8 megapixels! 8! It was on sale at Best Buy for $150 and it came with a case & a 1gig memory card. Score! I also went ahead and bought a home kit of my XM radio with birthday money as well. That way I can listen to it in the house as well and catch more hockey games on it.
Some of the sales people at work took me out for lunch as well on Monday. That was really nice of them to do it and I really appreciated it. It's nice to work somewhere where they treat you nicely.
I'm now ready for my vacation next week. I'm not actually going anywhere, just hanging out at the house. But I'm really looking forward to it. I just really need a break from work. Especially from one certain aspect of my job. It'll be nice not to have to worry about that for a week. Also after this week, I'm going to need a break! I've been busy every night this week! Well Tuesday I didn't actually go out, but I had to set up the meeting between Matt and the poster on Craigslist for a new phone. Matt accidentally dropped and broke his during the yard sale on Saturday. We found someone on Craigslist selling the same phone I have (The original LG V) for $50! Yesterday we ran around town until 9p! Tonight I'm going to help a friend here at work unpack some of her stuff after her move this weekend, since I wasn't able to help this weekend. First I have to stop by the vet though, cause Lucy has some weird white spot on her paw pad. Hopefully it's nothing bad. I'm hoping it's a fungus or something easy to fix. Just cause I hate to think of her hurting. She's my little girl!
Alright, I gotta go finish some stuff. Here's a picture of Zoe running around town with us this week that I really like.
I want to be an expert who appears on CBS Sunday Morning. I love the way their pieces are written and edited on that show. Thus I want to be one of their experts who appear in a segment.
So two *more* of my teeth have been hurting and because they're hurting the same way, I have a feeling that means I'll have to get 2 more root canals. Which sucks, because it would be on the roof of my mouth and the shots to numb that up hurt like a motherfucker. I mean, just thinking about it hurts my mouth. Shots in the cheek or on the bottom part of my mouth don't hurt as much as the roof. I actually screamed when I got my last root canal when they put the shot in. Matt heard me scream in the waiting room. Eep.
Dad is back from Japan. I made him a welcome home sign when I went to pick him up at the airport. He really seemed to like it. He got lots of cool Hello Kitty stuff for me. :D Very fun.
I tried to help wrangle some dogs that were loose in the neighborhood today. They had collars and tags on, so I wanted to get them so we could see where they belonged and call their owners. But the dogs kept running away from me. I followed them for a while down the street, but they really didn't want to be caught, so I eventually gave up. I just hate dogs getting loose in our neighborhood because we live on such a busy street and cars drive too fast around here. :( But they finally got off our street and went into some of the back streets and that's where I left them. If I hadn't had to cross the street I would have used Zoe to lure them to me, since she's such a friendly dog.
It just makes me sad to see dogs walking around, obviously not at home. I know how sad I was when Lucy ran away the first night we got her. I definitely don't think she'd run away now, but if she did, oh crap. I would be even worse than I was that first night.
Speaking of Lucy she's now pushing up against me. I better go get to pettin her cause she won't stop!
Aw crap! The sushi we got at the grocery store tonight said Crunchy Shrimp Roll, but it was really Crab! That sucks!
So a lot has happened. Let's see. On Wednesday on the way home from work I won tickets off the radio to the Dave Matthews concert that night. So I got Matt and we went out to the concert. It was really good. I think they sound even better live than they do on their CDs, which is really cool. I loved it. We took Zoe over to my mom's house so she could hang out there. They both had fun I think.
On Thursday I went to a little happy hour thing with some of the Knottie girls. Afterwards I went to Great Escape and found The Best of So Graham Norton. I love him, he's HILARIOUS. I wish we got him here in the States. Then Matt met me down there and we went to Ken's for sushi. I was so addicted to the sushi that we went back there on Friday for dinner again. It's just so good! & I love Ken's because his sushi is much cheaper than where we used to go and it's so much fresher.
Today my mom came over and we took Zoe and Lucy to the Humane Association and they got microchips! It was only $40 for both of them. Zoe did NOT want to go in the Rover van to get the shot. I think because it smelled like a vet in there. She didn't like it. Lucy was scared while we were there. I wonder if she thought we were gonna leave her there. The woman that had her in the lobby for us when we adopted her was there and loved seeing her again. So now they have microchips in them, which makes me happy. I know it doesn't guarantee we'll get them back if they ran away, but it's still a good thing. My dad and Matt changed my brakes this afternoon too and added coolant to my car. So it's a happy car.
I have two interviews this week. I also FINALLY made an eye doctors appointment and go on Thursday. I'm excited to go, cause I'm ready to start seeing better again. It's been about 3 years since I've been to an eye exam, so it was more than time. Things are coming along. Let's hope they continue and a new job comes soon.
Well like I said on myspace, nothing is compatible with Safari. But, at least, the box that opened up told me that they're working to make it compatible with Vox. Very nice :D
Not doing much today, slept the whole day away really. Then I've been catching up on Project Runway and 24 on the DVR. I must say that Angela's story for the dog episode was quite stupid. My bad, not quite. REALLY stupid. & even though I think Vincent's designs are silly, I still love him. I think I have a little crush on him too. Him and Robert. So I have little crushes on the gay man and the crazy straight man. Yeah.
The dogs have been chilling with me all day. Although Lucy did poop in the kitchen. It's hard to fuss at her, cause she's just so scared. But since I caught her doing it, I had to fuss at her so she'd know not to poop in the house. Part of me doesn't even want to catch her doing it, just so I don't have to fuss at her, just cause she gets so scared. I'm like, I'm not ever going to hit you! I promise! It's just sad cause that's apparently all she's known from people.
