RIP Mr. Fish

Christmas Early

The baby is doing well. He bit my Mom, and enjoyed eating wrapping paper. He's way heavy, and is very alert. I'll post photos at my Yahoo account.

For Christmas, I was gifted with a $50 Target gift card, and a bag of Bath and Body Works stuff. I was going to buy a new jacket with the gift card, but I didn't like how the jackets fit. So, I used the gift card on the second best thing; sock monkey stuff! I bought the slippers and the pants. I would have purchased the sheets too, but they were sold out of Queen size. The sheets were only $19 in the store! The pants were $17 and the slippers were $13. Expensive, but cute and I had a gift card.

I'm sick and it sucks.

Bed.

Access Denied

I'm still unable to switch to the new version of Blogger. It's really pissing me off. Way back when, I subscribed to Blogger's Blog*Spot Plus feature. It was less than $5/mo, and enabled me to upload images and stuff via FTP. I also had "priority" access to techs for questions, etc. Well now, it's biting me in the ass. Short of deleting my first blog, with almost 2000 posts, I'm stuck with the old version of Blogger. Additionally, no one will reply to my inquires on how to update my old blog. I keep receiving an error message saying the password is incorrect (I know it isn't.) Grrrrrrrrrr.

It's so touching when someone I don't even know takes stuff from my site, and uses it as their own. Even if it's part of the public domain, do your own searches. Don't rely on other people to find cool stuff, then use it on your own page. And without even emailing them to say "thanks for finding cool stuff because I'm too lazy to do it on my own." It would only be better if they hadn't changed the URL and it was still pointing to my site.

I'm up this early because I went to bed before 9PM yesterday, and I have to be at work at 8:30AM. I woke up at 4:30AM, and figured I'd get up. At least I can get all of the clean clothes hung up, check on Mr. Fish, give him his medicine and have a Pop Tart (Mint Chocolate Chip, bitches!) for breakfast.

Speaking of Mr. Fish, he seems to be recovering from his illness. He swimming around more, and swims to the top of the bowl now. I need to get different food, though. I don't think he appreciates his new food (Petco doesn't carry the kind I bought when I got Mr. Fish) and he needs to eat so he gets better. It means I have to go to Wal-Mart, though, and I hate Wal-Mart. I decided to stop shopping there, but they are the only place I can find that brand/type of blood worm. Once he's healthy again maybe I can get him to eat the new stuff. Either that, or I'll buy a couple jars of the food while I'm there. It's less than $3 a jar, and one jar lasted him since April or May. Yeah, one Betta doesn't eat very much.

I rented Silent Hill and The Zodiac Killer yesterday, and Hallow's End arrived in the mail yesterday as well. We can watch two tomorrow, and one tonight. Saturday we're going to Mansfield to see the baby, so that'll be our entertainment for the weekend.

I need food.

Sneeze

I swear, I have mono. I've never had mono before, but it has to be the reason why I'm so tired all of the time. Like, can't find the energy to put away clean clothes tired. I have no idea how I'm going to drive to my Mom's house tomorrow to take her Christmas shopping. It isn't that I don't want to take her; I don't know how I'm going to take her.

On top of being tired beyond words, I'm constantly sneezing. I love it.

I did manage to get out to the PO Box early this afternoon. Man, was it nice outside. Supposed to be even warmer tomorrow and Tuesday. Woo!

New photo of me with new hair and eyebrows.

Back to bed.

Hot Diggity Damn

Mr. Fish is now home. We think he's sick, though, so hopefully we can nurse him back to health. He barely swims, I don't think he's eating and when he does swim, it's sideways. We're going to the pet store today and buying special Mr. Fish water, new rocks, some water conditioner and new food. Hopefully he'll be his cheery Mr. Fish self in no-time.

In other news, we've watched so many movies the past three weeks, it isn't even funny. My month's free trial of Blockbuster Online is almost expired, and I'm definitely renewing the membership. Since signing up for the trial on November 17th we've rented/watched the following movies:
Paradise Lost
Paradise Lost 2
Marilyn Manson's Guns, Gods and Government Tour DVD
Rammstein Industrial Angels Tour DVD
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (Remake)
Cabin Fever
Black Cadillac
MST3K Disc 4 Season 5
MST3K Disc 5 Season 5
MST3K Monster A Go Go
The Last House on the Left
Donnie Darko
Superman Returns
House Season One Disc 3
House Season Two Disc 1
House Season Two Disc 2
The Devil's Rejects
House of 1000 Corpses
Daughters of Darkness
Forever Knight Season 1 Disc 1
Forever Knight Season 1 Disc 2
Bloodsucking Pharaohs in Pittsburgh
That's a lot of movies for FREE. I figured out why I didn't rent from Blockbuster under normal circumstances; movies are $3.50 each!! But yeah, if any of you are even remotely interested in online movie rental programs, I highly recommend the Blockbuster program. We have the 3 movies out at a time deal, and those movies don't count against in-store rentals either. Earlier in the week we had a stack of 7 DVD's to watch. Bloodsucking Pharaohs, Cabin Fever and TCSM were so bad we couldn't make it through, so that helped cut down on DVD viewing time. Still, who cares if some were duds? They were FREE!!

Shit, I just remembered our car insurance is due tomorrow. I should probably pay the bill so our policies aren't canceled. Not having car insurance is bad, since it's required in Ohio.

Morgan needs to get his ass out of bed soon if he plans on visiting Ducky today (hopefully she's still around.)

We wound up not attending the NEOCC Christmas party yesterday. When I told Morgan it was $22 he thought I meant per membership. No, it was $22 per person. He decided it wasn't worth the $44, plus an hour's drive (each way) in possibly snowy weather. I cooked dinner instead, and we watched DVD's (huge surprise, I know.)

Gah, I should check my PO Box. It's probably crammed full of crap, but maybe our magazines have arrived as well (I have 4 free magazine subscriptions through erewards.com. Free stuff rules.)

Must pee.

Ow

Holy shit, my head hurts so bad right now. I think my brains are going to pop out of my ears or something. Migraines can eat my ass, along with upper respiratory infections. This shit always happens when I get a new job; I swear I'm cursed.

I forgot to include two movies in the list. I also watched Paradise Lost and Paradise Lost 2. Great documentaries, I highly recommend them. They really make you think, especially people who are "different" and live in a small town.

If you'll excuse me, I'm going to die now.

Wednesday, December 06, 2006

Gah

Gah, when I sign in to Blogger I get a notification of being able to switch to the new version. When I try switching, I receive an error message saying I'm not eligible. BAH! I really want to use the new version as changing the template is much easier, and way more user-friendly. Grrrrrrr.

Today I had my eyebrows waxed, and my bangs trimmed.
Then, since I was on such a grooming kick, I painted my nails. Yes, that's right, I painted my fingernails. They're Gargantuan Green Grape (OPI) with a black kitty cat sticker on my left hand's middle finger. Yeah, so it's the OPI Halloween kit, too bad. The green goes with the holiday season, and besides, I think they're cute.

Apparently I'm able to function on 3 hours of sleep? I went to bed at 11:30PM, and woke up at 3:20AM. I absolutely can't get back to sleep, which annoys the shit out of me.

I got a job today! It's another student assistant position, but this one's behind the scenes. I'll be a PC Tech, with two other people. During winter break I'll work 8AM-4:30PM, Monday-Friday. When Spring session begins January 16th, I'll work 20 hours a week. It only pays $6.85/hr, but it's a job. Besides, I won't have to deal with people, other than when the Governor is visiting, or the Rolls Royce people are in town. My office is even in the back of the building, where I'm out of the way. Plus, both of my bosses seem really cool, and I can wear jeans (when there aren't any "important" people around, which is most of the time.) I begin Thursday at 8:30AM, and I'm only working until 12:30PM Thursday and Friday. I even get paid in two weeks! Woo me! Of course, now that I've accepted the position, 2 people called about my resume. One of the positions is as a file clerk. I'll interview for shits and giggles, but unless it pays a minimum of $8/hr, I won't quit the student assistant position.

I can't believe it's almost tax season again already! I'll only have two W-2's this year (Summit Racing and the first student assistant position), and Morgan'll just have one. He still has 3 or 4 days of vacation he needs to take before the end of the year, and the end of the year is pretty damn close. I told him to see if he can take the Friday before Christmas, and the 2 or 3 days after Christmas. They probably won't let him, though, since he's the only detailer at the dealership. He needs to hurry up, though, since he only has 3 weeks to take his days.

Mmmm, Firebird:

Jumping Jehosaphat

Hee, my title means absolutely nothing. But, since I haven't slept more than 2 hours at a time since Saturday, I'm allowed to be weird. Yes, the insomnia is at its worst since I was pregnant. I took 4 sleeping pills at 11PM last night. It's now 6AM, and I slept maybe an hour. I even laid down and tried to sleep for 3 hours; no luck. I am so far past pissed off it isn't even funny.

In other news, I scheduled my Spring semester classes. Lucky me, all 4 of my courses are online! I have an interview at 3:30 this afternoon for a work study position. If I'm hired, I'll only be on campus for work. If I'm not hired, I won't have to go near the school until June (summer classes.) The only exception will be to buy books, which I dread. My classes are Graphic Design, Microsoft Access Database, Help Desk and one other class that's slipping my mind at the moment. Suffice to say it'll be an easy semester.


Allegedly there were 3 inches of snow when Morgan came home from getting Dew around midnight. He has a tendency to exaggerate, though, so there was probably only an inch, if that.

His work Christmas party was OK. The food was the same as last year, only the desserts weren't as good. This year they had a magician, who pretty much sucked. But, Morgan did win a $25 gift card for Target, and we were out of there by 9PM. We went to the Massillon Target, which seems to be the nicest one around here, and he bought a new Logitech game pad for his computer. I picked up a few things out of the dollar bin (wrapping paper, lights for the mini-tree, etc) and some beverages. I freaking love Target!

Over the weekend we watched quite a few movies. I have a membership to Blockbuster Online, and it's fabulous. For $18 a month (the first month is free) I get unlimited online rentals, with a limit of 3 out at any time. Additionally, for every online rental I return in-store I get a free in-store rental! I can also return them via the prepaid mailers, but why would I mail them back when I get free in-store rentals? Anyway, this weekend we watched Superman Returns, House of 1000 Corpses, The Devil's Rejects, Black Cadillac and I started watching Cabin Fever. I didn't really pay attention to Superman Returns, but the Rob Zombie films were actually very good. I was shocked, and I'm now optimistic about him being involved with Halloween 9. Hopefully he'll do a good job. He may be a no-talent ass clown when it comes to music, but his films are worth watching. Black Cadillac is a good movie, and, so far, Cabin Fever has sucked. But I can't complain, they were free! I still have to watch The Last House on the Left and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Remake. They're not due back until Saturday, though, so I'm sure I'll have time to watch them.

Finally, decent photos (Razr camera phone) of all the penguin stuff I'd like to have from Wal-Mart.



Hella cute, I know.

The NEOCC Christmas party is Saturday. It should be a good time, and the beer's free. Wooooo!

Eh, I should do something constructive instead of blogging.

Not Very Much

eBay hates me. Every time I create a new account, I'm booted about a week later. So, I decided to try and reactivate my original account (over 200 feedback, 100% positive.) To my surprise they reactivated it immediately! I just logged in, and found it's now suspended, again, as is my current account. I hope the payment I just sent for two items isn't "ignored" by the seller since I'm now suspended.

I finally watched The Exorcism of Emily Rose. It was a pretty good movie, yet nothing like I'd expected.

Oooooooh, Bounce has a new Citrus Breeze scent. I must try it.

Damn, my eyebrows need waxed. Put that on my To-Do list for Wednesday. Along with finishing my paper for Intro to Networking, and picking out classes for Spring semester.

Morgan's work Christmas party is Saturday. Same place as last year, so I'm sure it'll be a good time. Hopefully it's warmer than last year, because I'm wearing a dress. I froze my ass off last year, and I wore a sweater and dress pants (I was pregnant and nothing fit.) Part of this year's outfit is one of the eBay items I mentioned above. If it isn't here in time, I'm screwed. I technically could purchase a replacement, but for around $65. I paid $15 on eBay. You see my dilemma.

Actually, we're busy the next 3 Saturdays. Christmas parties the 2nd and 9th, then we see the baby on the 16th. I'm planning on taking a mini-road trip the second or third week of January, as long as the weather's OK. No idea where, but it'll be somewhere fun. Maybe Pittsburgh (Ikea,) or Mount Pleasant, WV (Mothman stuff.) Chicago's too far away for a weekend thing, especially with unpredictable winter weather. I'll figure something out, I'm sure.

It's supposed to be 65 degrees tomorrow, which is good. I need to remove the remaining old stickers from TruckBird, then remove the adhesive with Goo Gone.

I should go to bed. The digital phone installation person will be here between 10AM and noon, then I have stuff to do the rest of the day, so I won't be able to get my usual nap. LOL Yeah, I caved in and got a land line. Using cell phones exclusively feels weird, and with both of us using the minutes, it doesn't work out so well.

Stop It

I need to stop living in the past. For some reason, the last 6 months or so have been spent dwelling on the past. How much better it was when I was younger. How easy life was. All the guys I dated and wondering where they are. Where I went wrong. Etc.... I know this is the worst way to go through life, and I really would like to change my outlook. I think it's mostly because I'm 27, don't have a college degree and don't own a house. Sure, I'm in college, but it's pretty fucking lame because I'm in college for an undergraduate degree. Gah, I always get like this when I can't sleep.

I finally figured out what I was doing wrong in regard to the background image issue. Once I figured out the problem, I realized the image completely jacked up my blog. So, I decided to have a simple black background with multicolored text. The Christmas lights are a bonus for the season. I do all of my HTML editing on wide screen monitors, so the light bar may be too wide for some people's monitors. I'll check it tomorrow on Morgan's giant monitor, but it looks fine on my laptop.

Speaking of laptops, I'm going to try and have my Gateway fixed. I love that laptop, and nothing is wrong with the actual machine. The battery won't charge via the AC outlet, so I have two choices. Try to have the AC jack resoldered, or find an external battery charger. I'd prefer the external charger, but they're next to impossible to find. I run the risk of ruining the motherboard if I go the soldering route. But, it isn't like I can use it anyway.

Eh, I should go to bed.

Saturday, November 25, 2006

Word

For some reason, I can't get my background image to work and it's really pissing me off.

Anyway, I've sat around the house and served no real purpose all day. I did clean the apartment though, so that's good. Morgan went to the drag strip at 10 this morning, and still isn't home. I guess he stopped at his Dad's house, then went to pick up his rear end from Dwane's house. It's about fucking time! We gave Dwane the money for the rear end 3 months ago, and it's finally ready. Gee, what a fabulous turnaround time!

I got my Mom's Christmas present, along with Barb's and Stacey's. Now I only have 4 more gifts to purchase and I'll be finished. Woo!

I need food.

Wednesday, November 22, 2006

Gobble

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. Morgan and I are going to a MinervaDave buffet. Every Thanksgiving MinervaDave cooks dinner at a local restaurant, which provides Thanksgiving dinner for free. There's a donation jar for people who can afford, and of course we'll contribute. I'm looking forward to it, plus I'll get to see MinervaDave. The Jesus Buffet is in Cuyahoga Falls, and it'll be packed. The Jesus Buffet food's good, but I don't feel like fighting those types of crowds for Thanksgiving dinner.

I found what I'm getting my Mom for Christmas. It's a "day-after-Thanksgiving" deal, though, which means I will venture into the chaos again this year. It'll be markedly nicer this year, though. Last year it snowed, was freezing and I had to climb in the hatch of Blackie because the doors froze shut. Plus, I was pregnant. This year it's supposed to be almost 60 degrees and I'm not pregnant. Friday night we're going to this Burning River Roller Girls event. Saturday we're going to the racetrack, as long as it's nice enough to race (no rain/snow.) Sunday we're sitting on our asses.

Morgan finally has a cell phone again, but he can't use it until tomorrow. His SIM card wound up becoming unregistered in the month he hasn't had a phone. I have a feeling he's going to need a new SIM card. They're only $20, but there's nothing wrong with his old SIM card. It shouldn't have become unregistered because his line has been active, we just couldn't use it because he didn't have a phone. Hopefully the woman who put in the request for his current SIM to be reactivated knew what she was doing.

I need to write some crap down before I forget.

Poop On A Stick

Since it's 25 til 2 in the AM, and I can't fall asleep, I figured I'd blog a bit. Not much has been going on. I've had a couple job interviews, but haven't received any offers of employment. I have another interview Friday, but I'm not getting my hopes up too high. It'd be perfect, though, since I'd work across the street from Morgan.

I've put the 4th Gen away for the winter, which means I'm driving TruckBird. He's started stalling when I stop at a red light. Morgan thinks it's the idle-air controller, which makes sense. It doesn't start until the car is fully warmed up (about 15-20 minutes) and it only happens when I'm at a red light. The car runs fine the rest of the time. I've replaced the plugs, wires, cap, rotor and oxygen sensor. I'll replace the controller thing and hope it fixes the problem.

Target becomes my bitch more and more every day. Years ago I collected Nick and Nora stuff. Then it became impossible to find around here, so I gave up. Wouldn't you know, Target now carries Nick and Nora. Woo! I want these sheets and this PJ set. I already have these sheets (they were only $15 when I purchased them,) but only because this set wasn't available at my local Target. Maybe I'll get $500 in Target gift certificates for Christmas. HA, I'm dreaming and not even asleep.

I have 5 baskets of laundry to wash. Perhaps I should go tomorrow during the day when everyone's at work. That way I can use all of the dryers and cut my dry time in half. I really hate going to the laundromat, but if I tried doing all this laundry at my Mom's house, it would take me forever. So, the laundromat it is.

I should make a grocery list.

There's a creepy guy at our apartment building. He skulks about and is the epitome of creepy old man. I steer clear of him on the rare occasions I actually see him.

I should pack up all of our summer clothes to make room for our winter stuff. I need to go through the closets (all 3 we have) and figure out what we can store in the garage. We have no room in this apartment and I'm ready to tear out my hair. Why did I think it was a good idea to move into a studio apartment?

It's almost Thanksgiving. That blows me away.

Guess I'll watch TV.

Fuck Wal-Mart

The photo printer I purchased the end of August is apparently broken. Our computers won't recognize the printer's plugged in via the USB cable, and the cable is fine (I tested it on the scanner.) Of course, when I called Wal-Mart I was told their warranty period is 15 days. After that, I have to go through HP. I've been on the phone with HP customer support for 40 minutes, and I'm finally being transferred to a technician, who hopefully speaks English!! Yes, HP outsources calls to India. Thankfully there are a few local service centers (Best Buy and Office Max) so maybe they'll just exchange the damned thing.

Interviews tomorrow (Thursday) and Friday. Hopefully a job is in my near future. I needed to print something out for tomorrow's interview, but that obviously isn't going to be possible.

Bah, my stomach is upset.

Tuesday, November 07, 2006

Blargy

Saw III is a good movie. Halloween in the theater was great. I didn't go to any haunted houses this Halloween, nor did I go to Dark X-mas. I didn't make it to the Ohio Firebirds meeting either. I completely slacked Halloween weekend.

The 4th Gen is going into storage Tuesday, Wednesday at the latest. I drove TruckBird home on Saturday evening. He buzzed right along with no problems. How I love that damn car.

I have a huge thing on my chin. It's big, and icky and has been there since Thursday evening. Hopefully it'll be gone in another day or two.

Get out and vote tomorrow (Tuesday.)

Morgan and I went to Shay's house Sunday afternoon. Her daughter is crazy. LOL

Why am I hungry at 2:30AM?

I should go to bed.

Thursday, October 26, 2006

Where's The Candy?

The last weekend before Halloween is quickly approaching. It's starting off with a bang, too. Friday at 7PM I'm going to see Saw 3. Then Saturday I'm open, Sunday is the Ohio Firebirds meeting in Mentor and Monday is the original Halloween at a theater in Middleburg Heights. I am beyond excited about the whole original Halloween in a theater. I've seen Halloween 6, 7 and 8 in the theater, so it'll be cool to see the original as well. I'm sure Morgan and I will go to a haunted house Saturday, but I'm not sure which one. Probably the Factory of Terror since we went to the Haunted Schoolhouse and Laboratory last year. Part of me wants to visit Point Pleasant, WV again, and to explore the TNT area this time. I dunno, I'll have to MapBlast it and see how far we are from there (the last time we went it was a side trip to Huntington, WV.)

Then, the next weekend is Dark X-mas in Austintown. A former professor is going to be there, and so are a bunch of other cool people. I can't wait!

Generally I'm in a cranky not-too-upbeat mood. I seriously can't stand anymore of people telling me they're too busy to call me. Or too busy to keep plans with me. I actually had someone tell me today my friends grow up, pair off and we grow apart. What? So because someone gets older they should completely ignore someone they've known for years? Some of these people I've known for almost 10 years. It's OK for them to stop speaking with me altogether, with no explanation? I truly don't understand why people do this to me. I'm not expecting anyone to be at my beck and call, but an email every couple weeks is good. Or, I dunno, a reply to one of my emails is nice. A phone call once in a while is nice as well. When I say people disappear, I mean just that. One day I talk to them, everything's fine and that's it; I never hear from them again. It's complete bullshit if you ask me. Even when I worked 45 hours a week and drove 2 hours each way to/from work, I didn't ignore my friends. I made sure to call once a week (at least,) and reply to all of my emails within a couple days of receipt. Yeah, I've fucked up sometimes, but come on people. No one is that fucking busy. Pretty much, everyone ignores me until there is absolutely nothing left to do, short of eating broken glass. Then, they decide to email me. Fabulous. At least I'm still better than eating broken glass, I guess.

Cranky much? Nah.

I mailed 3 more resumes today. Lets see how many people don't call me!

Poop.

Saturday, October 14, 2006

Yeah

Gee, I have an exciting evening ahead of me. Homework and two tests for school. Whoop de do. I guess I'll wash my car, or at least vacuum it out tomorrow, then I'm going to haunted houses with Maggie tomorrow evening. Monday I start my job, but it's only for a week. Thank goodness, because having to be at Akron U by 8AM will suck. Next week in general will suck, but at least I'll make some money.

After I finish my schoolwork I think I'll watch some Halloween on DVD. Rather be out doing something fun, but whatever.

This is going nowhere fast.

I Need To Simmer Down

I am so angry at humans in general...I need to calm down, but I really can't. I'm tired of giving people second chances (and third and fourth) to have them do the exact same thing they did before. Gah, I give up.

In other news, I'd like to see Saw III and Jackass Number Two. Not this weekend, but maybe in two weekends I can see Jackass, and Saw if I can get tickets. I used to go to the movies all the time, and I love going. Hopefully I'll be able to start going to more flicks in the theater.

My DVD's arrived today. I now have Halloween 1-5, and 8 on DVD. Woo! I've had the original for years, but this one was supposed to be the hologram cover version, which it isn't. I had the fancy cover version, but my Mom let Kieth borrow a bunch of my DVD's (including that one,) and I never got them back. Grrrrrrrrr.

Why are my glasses always dirty?

I should go to bed.

Tuesday, October 10, 2006

Possibilities

I have a couple job interviews this week, with one of them an almost definite hire. Downside to the almost definite is it's only a week position for a temp agency. It pays $400 for the week, but it's still only one week. Another position, permanent, is right around the corner from the apartment. Oh well, we'll see what happens.

Heh, I bought fangs and devil horns for Halloween. According to most of the guys I know, the devil horns are very appropriate. I'm pleading the 5th, though.

Our 2nd exam in Intro to Networking is tomorrow. I'm confident I'll get a much better grade on this exam because the material is much more "real-life" than abstract stuff like last time. (Hello run-on sentance.) I'll do a little more studying in the morning, and that'll be all.

Morgan and I are attending our friend's CD release party Friday. She's a very intelligent, and nice, person, which makes her a great person with whom to converse.

Wooo, my hair is to my butt crack. I'm not quite sure why this makes me happy, but it does.

This stuff could lead me to heavy drinking again. It is sooooooooo good, well the Raspberry is, at least. The downside is, I purchased it at Marc's. This means it's a closeout product, dammit. I should stock up now. Seriously, it is sooooooooooooo good.

Bed.

New Stuff

I went shopping at Torrid earlier in the week. I purchased a dress, shoes, hosiery and a bustier. Total spent was $37 with tax. Heh, the dress was a penny. Yes, a PENNY at Torrid (regular price of $64.) Freaking rock! I'm wearing the dress, hosiery and shoes to our friend Michelle Belanger's CD release party at the Chamber on Friday the 13th. Apparently I'm going to wear the outfit to the Bella Morte/Hanzel und Gretyl show as well, since the show is next to the Chamber prior to Michelle's CD release. Gah, the shoes are going to kill me.

Speaking of shoes...I went to DSW last night. I finally received my $10 certificate, so I buzzed over there to hopefully buy the blue leather Adidas Tuscany shoes. Not only did I find them, but they were on clearance. Double woo!

And, to top off the shopping week of bliss, last night I found the Mass Transit bus shower curtain at Target. Yep, it was on clearance too, for $3.25. I'm so addicted to Target.

Hopefully you've noticed the different blog address. Yep, I'm no longer TheLawnBunny. That nickname is from a period in my life I'd like to forget. A total waste of 4.5 years, but looking back, it's helped me realize how people truly are. So, my new URL for my blog, and my MoBlog, are lisathepooper.blogspot.com and lisathepooper.textamerica.com, respectively. Pretty much everything has been switched over, but the only way to access my old posts are by clicking the archives link. I have no idea how to actually merge the two accounts into one, so that's how I have to do it for now.

I have a lot to think about. Some rather significant life changes may occur soon, and I'm not sure what I want to do just yet. I need time alone to think things through, but that'll never happen with living in a studio apartment. And, without the ability to think about things, nothing will happen. Suffice to say I'm unhappy with my current situation, and need to evaluate what my options are in regard to my unhappiness.

This evening Morgan and I went to Monument Park in Canton. It's the park by the Football Hall of Fame and the McKinley Monument. During the day it's relatively safe, and nice to visit. While there, we saw a really cool duck. We're going back tomorrow to feed her, and take more photos (battery was dead on the camera.)

I guess I'll put away the clean clothes, watch some TV then read a Haunted Ohio book.

I'm a dork.

That is all.
