RSS Feedthe time that i settled on a couch and started considering the possibility of getting a cat
hooray! so my tax refund is set to be deposited on 22 Feb. this means if all goes as planned i’ll be able to buy my new couch next weekend. i’m now officially 98% set on the couch from crate & barrel. i’ve ordered the fabric swatches to inspect and everything. getting it will be a whole other issue though. i haven’t decided if i’m going to go with the stock fabric or custom fabric, so who knows how long it will be before i actually get the couch.
i finally finished and sent out my 2007 summer promo recap deck at work today. the never-ending campaign is finally behind me for good. what a relief. i finally feel like i’m getting some items completed off of my to-do list.
i’ve been wanting a puppy really badly for quite a while now. after a lot of thought i’m considering a cat. the ex had a tabby american shorthair that i absolutely adored and actually didn’t have a very much of an allergic reaction to at all. i think if i got an air filter and had a place with hardwood floors and just kept up with changing the sheets rather frequently i could actually live with a cat and have no problems. i think i need to visit an allergist to get tested and see if the immunotherapy would be of any benefit to me. i’m trying not too get excited about it, it’s at least 5 or 6 months from happening anyway.
okay that’s all i’ve got.
the time that the weather was a huge letdown
i’m so tired of these bogus winter storm predictions that just don’t come to fruition. i get all excited thinking it will be bad enough to warrant the office being closed and then it just doesn’t happen. granted it did snow a lot today, it certainly didn’t get bad enough to not have to go into the office tomorrow.
i’m just hoping the journey to work isn’t as bad as it was today. it was sleeting this morning and to make it worse i think my umbrella is at my friend john’s place. the walk to the bus stop was bad enough with the wind blowing cold ice into my face but it got so much more worse as i stood on the corner of foster & ashland waiting for the #92 bus to come. there was a point while i was standing there that i just wanted to go home and climb back into bed, either that or just start crying. it was at the point that i realized that as much as i love winter with its snow and cold weather, i’m so done with it for a while. spring and summer need to hurry up and get here.
speaking of spring and summer arriving shortly, it looks like i’ll be playing on a softball league starting in may. this should be fun(ny). i’ve warned my friend who got me to join that i haven’t played since i was 7 so this is bound to be an interesting adventure.
in other horrific news, my cable card that is in my tivo messed up sometime today and random channels aren’t showing up. tonight’s episode of project runway didn’t get recorded! i’m hoping it gets fixed soon so i can catch a re-air sometime soon. rcn totally blows, i think i need to consider the move to the equally bad comcast.
i’m trying to decide what i’m going to do apartment-wise as my lease will be coming up for renewal in four months. while i do have plenty of time to find a new place, i have less than 60 days to decide if i want to move or give it another year here. i have this horrible fear of not being able to find something decent in my price range. do i want a 1 bedroom or a large studio? do i stay in andersonville or try a new neighborhood? roommate or no roommate? too many decisions to make.
i’m 5% closer to purchasing the couch (for a total of 95% sure). i think i’m going to go this weekend to check it out once more before i order fabric swatches and place my order. oh yeah, and i should probably make sure it will fit in my place as well.
and now it’s nearly 3am and i’m not asleep yet. i probably shouldn’t have taken a nap earlier this evening.
