The day after Thanksgiving: a time line

8:59am Wake up, reluctantly. Curse smallness of bladder.

9:01am Find the husband. Demand kisses and affection.

9:05am Settle into arm chair. Attempt to read lousy new book. Discuss with husband all the reasons the book is lousy. Try to figure out what the author is trying to describe when he says Robert Bly looks like "a leprechaun riding on a polar bear".

9:10am Breakfast: Diet Coke and stuffing, just as God intended.

9:15am-12:07pm Watch TV. Alternate between college football and TLC's What Not to Wear. Appreciate the fact that husband see the merit in TLC's fine day time programming options.

12:08pm Make vague promises to shower and get dressed. Soon. Yeah. Soon. Maybe at 12:30

12:30pm Lunch:Turkey and corn casserole, eaten in front of TV.

12:35pm Wrap self in blanket and set a new shower deadline. Promise to get out of pjs by 1:00pm

1:00pm Watch more TV

1:15pm Sexually harass husband. Pout when said husband refuses to take pants off and dance just to amuse me

1:30pm Say goodbye to husband who is going running. Admire his ambition. Watch more TV

2:00pm Check email, celebrity gossip blogs, read husband's blog (finally updated). Set new shower goal= 2:30pm

2:30pm Still on internet. Take break to have Diet Coke and Vanilla Wafers for snack. Mmm.

3:00pm Finally brush teeth. Congratulate self on this progress. Lay down and rest a little.

3:30pm Take shower. Admire self vigorously for making such progress.

4:24pm. Blog. Procrastinate on actually accomplishing anything today.

Something to occupy you with

while I fix up my blog.

I laugh every time I watch this. Yes, I am a gigantic dork.

Warning- don't watch if you hate babies.

Hey wait

Why does my blog look so weird all the sudden? And where did my ode to Kelly go? Must try to fix....

Ebay is bad

Oh gosh. I should know better.

I love a certain brand of purses. Love them, love them, love them. They are cute, they are functional, they all come with a monkey attached. Love. The thing is that there is really only one store in Tucson that sells them and they only sell boring, basic ones so I'm not usually all too tempted (which is good because these bags are not cheap).

Ebay, on the other hand, has tons of them so I usually avoid going on lest I drive myself crazy with longing.

I went on today.

I want this purse: http://cgi.ebay.com/KIPLING-Destinee-Top-Zipped-Tote-Bag-in-Milkshake-BNWT_W0QQitemZ120051465934QQihZ002QQcategoryZ63852QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Someone please tell me why I shouldn't have it. C'mon. Give me some good reasons.

Homeowners

So, we did it. Signed a million pieces of paper and became homeowners last night. Yay... I guess? I don't know. It feels very anti-climactic right now. We aren't going to actually move into the house until May so we're not packing or excitedly choosing paint colors or anything fun like that yet. I know the time will go quickly and we'll be in the house soon enough but I kind of wish we could move in sooner.

On the plus side, I made it through my terror at going deeply, deeply into debt and managed to sign all the paperwork with out fainting or vomiting (both of which seemed like real possibilities at the time). Yay me.

Updates

1. The story is finished and in the hot little hands of all of my classmates. They have until Monday night to read it and make comments before they give me feedback in class that night. I am deeply nervous about this. I know that I am a decent enough writer but I don't exactly trust all of my classmates to be constructive in their critism.

2. We got the house and we close on Thursday! Yippee! We'll become home owners and land lords all at once as the current owners will be renting the house back from us for several months. So, no worries about packing for the moment, though I'm sure the time for that will come soon enough.

3. I am still caffeinated, sugared and monkey brained most days.

Somethings never change

Sunday night. 11:20pm.

Why am I still up? Well, mostly because I have a major assignment due for my class tomorrow. Yep. My class that I'm taking "just for fun". I have a story due and I did almost everything but write it. I pouted. I whined. I procrastinated. And now I am tired and I have a headache and I want to go to bed, but instead I'm blogging and spending far to much time at this website:
