Morning!

Good Morning people. Sun is just starting to rise. Damn this is too much morning for my morning. I need an influx of caffeine soon. Also need to get dressed and head out. I dont think Lowes would like me in just my flowery bathroom. :) Heck I cant go out in just that. I am too modest. (dont laugh M) I am just a sweet an innocent girl. (dont ROFLMAO M) I have no real plans today except going to Lowes. A friend from work had talked about coming over, but I didnt get to confirm with her about it. I should take Serendipity and Strife to the vet to get the next set of vaccinations. I should have put the trap out last night. Already slacking off about that. I am trying to decide what book to read next. Maybe I will finish one of the ones in the Redwall series or a Charles DeLint book. Maybe reread the Arrow triology from Mercedes Lackey. Hmm, I still need to go out and get Narcissis in Chains. Decisions decisions, and I am no way awake enough to make them.

Ok, just wanted to Say good morning people!

Contractor Flaked

Ok, we were waiting at Lowes for almost 2 hours. I finally came home to call because I didnt have the # memorized yet, and forgot to bring it. So I also flaked. Got ahold of him. He had forgotten. We will have to reschedule. Well, he was the cheapest quote, also one of the nicest guys. He didnt talk down to me or anything. He was so apologetic on the phone. Hopefully we can hook up tonight and get some of the materials.

Now I am going to try and get some decorating and unpacking done. Maybe get the dining room cleaned out. take stuff to the basement. I am such a packrat.

Ok I tried.

I really did try. I just spent the past 1/2 hour in the dining room, trying to unpack and organize the boxes there. I just cant. If I had undone the candle boxes I would have NO PLACE to store them till I decide where I want them to live. I really need to get some shelving units down in the basement, or upstairs in a closet to unpack everything. Stack it all up and then start deciding what is going to go where. I need to see everything before I can decide where it needs to live. I have 6 boxes of fragile stuff in the dining room, and all I did today was restack them so it fits better. I dont want to add more clutter to the house. I want to make it nice looking. Maybe I will go work on cleaning the living room. That I know I can get organized. I just have no idea where I want things to live. Everything just looks so CLUTTERED. I cant believe we have already outgrown this house. This just bites.

I just purchased 2 bookcases on my OfficeDepot card off the website. That way I can get some of the upstairs stuff cleaned out. Maybe even get M&H, as well as A&M back some of their stuff that they loaned us when we moved in. I am worried that the paint thing wont have all its parts. I am so unsure what belongs to who. Next I might buy a ladder. We also need to get some outdoor equipment. Ugh, so much to buy. I did just get a letter from Lowes stating they are going to do no interest on purchases 250 or more from Nov 23-Dec 9. Maybe some of the room purchases can be bought at that time.

Staples

M just thought I would let you know that the Crack store, Staples, opened on Sat. I went in today, and it has the nice new store smell.

And this one is the Dustbunnie trying to get me to pet her.

Ever sit down in front of your journal, and realize you have totally forgotten what you were going to write about? I have been waiting for the idea to come back for the last 1/2 hour. I think I will just go away get some dinner, and watch Buffy.

Salvation Army

I use to feed those little red buckets as I walked out of stores at this time of year. I know they are a Christian Organization, but I figured they did good work. Now I will be placing little slips of paper in instead. Why you might be asking? Because last week they took a giant step forward with annoucing that they would be giving health benefits to same sex and domestic partners. As of Monday night they have changed their minds because of peer pressure.

That of course is their choice. My choice is clear. I hope others take this idea and adopt it.

I will be making dollar sized pieces of light green paper with the following on it.

"I use to drop my change into these red buckets. Since you have decided to not grant health benefits to Same Sex and Domestic Partners, I have decided that my money will go to another charity. One that is more openminded. You have made your choice, I have made mine"

And then drop them in every red bucket I see this holiday season.
