aaaaaaaaaaaaah!
nope, nothing's wrong. just feeling like i have way too much energy for my own good. i should be sleeping. really, i should. i'm fighting off some sort of bug and sleeping would be good for me. but i have got so much stinkin' energy, it's ridiculous. i'm typing too fast for the computer to keep up and making way too many typos in the process. the energy may be related to the fact i ate an actual meal tonight. the past 40 hours or so have been mostly pretzels & white rice, with some minty gum mixed in to calm earl down when he gets too feisty. tonight holly & i went to a chinese restaurant and had sesame chicken. yummy. i think it's fair to judge food's deliciousness by how excited you are for the leftovers as they're being packaged up.
yup, totally full ... but already pumped about heating up the leftovers tomorrow for lunch? that's a good sign.
i got my federal tax return today. yay! don't know what i'm doing with it ... but, again, i think i should pull it out of the bank quickly so i don't just randomly spend it. do i buy a tv? if i buy a tv, i need to rearrange my living room to accommodate the tv. i like the way the living room is currently situated - as it has no gaping hole for a tv. but it would be nice to curl up on the sofa sometimes & watch a movie. although the sofa, in & of itself, is a totally different conversation. and i'd like to have a wii, which would play nicely with a new tv. but then i wonder how long i'd be entertained by the wii before it becomes an expensive dust collector. it's a fun thing to do with people around, but when i'm by myself? yeah, there's a pretty good chance the novelty would wear off. so perhaps that's not the best way to spend the money.
i could save it all for ireland. or i could use part of it to do some clothes shopping. or purchase a nice furniture set for my bedroom. or replace my sofa.
or i could let ikea replace my sofa. you know, after i actually call them & let them know it broke.
or i could fix the sofa myself. i do like doing things myself, and i don't like telephones. although, "by myself" actually means asking my dad to help me. because he's smarter than me & much more handy. :)
no movement today on the amazon packages. or, at least, none has been reported. i know that more than likely i'll probably receive the packages long before their status is updated online. i still believe online tracking only exists to prove it's possible to both give the customer a feeling of power & irritate the snot out of them at the same time.
i'm contemplating changing my netflix subscription, again. i'm currently on the one-at-a-time unlimited package. and i'm averaging 5 dvds a month. that works out to $1.80 per movie. i'm comfortable with that. so if i bump it up to the next package, which gives me two dvds at a time, and watch 8 movies per month, i'll still be paying the same per movie. i'm thinking that's quite possible. because what's better than having one alan alda movie in the house? having TWO alan alda movies in the house. obviously.
papa john's is currently offering a large 'ultimate pepperoni' pizza for $11.99. it is apparently "loaded with double the pepperoni and three cheeses on a thin & crispy crust!" sounds pretty good to me. anyone wanna come over for pizza?
i saw a bedroom set in the ashley ad that i like. it seems pricey ... but i think all furniture is pricey. let me see if i can find a photo for you. because hey, so long as i'm awake & rambling, i might as well giv eyou as much information as i can. ;)
cute, right? unfortunately it would also mean changing bed sizes as it comes in a queen, and i currently have a full. hmph. too many decisions.
do we think i should take advantage of the current housing market & look into getting a sweet deal on buying a house?
has anyone else ever noticed that their house gets louder the later it gets? have i mentioned this here before? for example, i have to turn my ice maker off at night because i'm convinced it's twice as loud once the sun goes down. and the furnace? yeah, i just know it doesn't make all those clicking noises during the day.
you know, i could get my money back from ikea & ditch the sofa. move the loveseat in front of the windows and add one of those fabulous gray chairs from target on either side. that would leave the opposite wall open for a tv.
or an aquarium!

oh my, i felt like i even needed to read that fast!
Likewise... And what a fun idea, to get a house. It can't hurt to look. You could look around here. There's a house a couple blocks down that's been empty for long enough that i think they'd HAVE to give you a sweet deal.
Are you sure you had no SUGAR???? Cause everytime I have sugar I talk RRREEEAAAALLLLYYY FAST too! Can you believe I actually am blogging...ks
