Apartmenticities and Deskosities

So, I believe I should go to home depot and buy some sand. Stock up for future freezings. It's not fun trying to climb icy stairs. A friend was helping me move some stuff today and she had some sand handy and that stuff works great. For some reason I really didn't think a smidge of sand would actually do anything, but it made it like the ice wasn't even there. I think I might fill a tub up with it and keep it in my coat closet. Hehe.

I need to take some piccies of my apartment. Also, the desk I wanted isn't going to happen. I have a chance to buy another one for much cheaper, but I'm not sure if I should. If I wait too long, it will disappear on me. I just don't know. Mocha cherry is so dark, but my computer is black, and it might be okay... but I'm afraid of making things depressing for the sake of a comfy feel. I just really don't know. Can't make up my mind. Buying that and the bookcases will cost around 1000 dollars, so it's a big decision. Bleh :P

I just remembered I wanted to go to the post office today to finish my passport application, but I forgot. Tomorrow I'll be doing lots of shopping. So maybe the next day? Or not? Sometime soon. Hehe.

Lots of stuff to think about. I haven't spent much of anything on my proposed furnishing budget. I'm so indecisive. I'm usually never indecisive. I usually know exactly what I want and go for it immediately. I think the problem is, really, that the computer is very important to my way of life. I spend so much time on it. And while I've made this desk work over the last few years, I want something that I'm not going to complain about for the next ten or so years to come.

I've been talking to everyone about this stupid desk I'm buying. Hehe. Yeesh. I'm prolly' annoying the heck out of everyone. It's just a desk. No need to get huffy about it. I'm just sad that the dream desk I want, the bush mission pointe collection, is being discontinued and no one has the hutch. The hutch isn't that important, I think, but I want it. It's just not the same without it. It's not the DREAM without it. And I might as well spend a lot less money if I can't have my dream. The bush tuxedo mocha cherry collection is pretty similar, but no book cases. And it's being discontinued as well. And it's so dark. But I can get mocha cherry or very similar colored cherry wood book cases elsewhere. BUT I DON'T KNOW.

Stop that. *whack*

Currently: Waiting for the bro to get home so I can go home.

Brrr

I spent 10 minutes this morning trying to open up the trunk of the car. Had to break some of the ice just to get the key in. Didn't manage it.

So I said, whatever, I'll just stuff this stuff in the back seat. So I broke some ice off to unlock the front door. And I pulled... and I pulled... and I jerked some... then pulled some more. Yeah. My car is frozen.

Currently: Wanting some breakfast. :(

Apartimentos

This week I have one address. Next week I'll have another. I have no idea how long it will take my driver's license to be switched to the new address, so I also have no idea if I should put my new address or my old address onto my passport application. If you move, do you have to get a new passport? I've got much to research.

Also, the rubber around my windshield is coming out again. Cept' this time it is MY car and I don't know what to do about it, or how much it will cost to fix. I expect the whole windshield will need to be replaced. What the heck did Mom do to fix the problem last time? Maybe someone just jammed it back in real good. Dunno. It freaks me out every time the wind catches it and then it slams back on the car with a metallic thud. Instant heart attack, and not that fun when I'm on the highway between an eighteen wheeler and a concrete barrier... and the eighteen wheeler isn't so much concerned about staying in his lane. Also, sometimes the wind blows through it and it sounds just like a cat crying. THAT really freaked me out until I realized what it was. I was afraid some animal was hanging on for dear life down there or something.

How do you know which washer and dryer to buy? I can get both from a range of 800 to 2500 dollars. I'll need to measure the apartment again and make sure the dryer runs on electricity, but yeah. Which ones? I talked to a salesman yesterday, and he picked a couple out he thought I should have. I kinda' want a front loading washer though... and I don't want to buy trash. I WANT something nice that's going to last me. The dryer at the house is gas and going fine... it's 10 years old. But the washer is a source of annoyance. A screw holding a piece of metal, which is holding a spring, which helps keep the tub sturdy during the spin cycle keeps getting shaken loose and then there's the constant banging against the front. Won't stay put together, man.

So anywhosits, a friend or two and I are going to shopping this weekend for that and stuff for my new apartment. And also, doing the move. So after I relax a bit here, I think I'll wash all my clothes, pull out a few outfits to wear for the next few days, and then pack em' all up. I should also repack my red glassware. They won't survive a move the way they are now. I really didn't think when I unpacked them and put them in these tubs that I'd be repacking them so soon... mere months later.

I have no idea what color wood I should be aiming for in my new digs. Should I go with the tables I already have and don't like, or should I cover my tables with cloth and get the darker cherry wood I like... or maybe I want white washed wood and do a relaxing beachy decor. I hate being so mainstream as to decorate with beach stuff like everyone else, but then, I always get this relaxing blissful feeling when I'm around beach stuff, that maybe I should just DO it and stop worrying about what stream I'm in. Hehe.

That's enough chatter, you. Go wash your clothes!

Currently: Sneezing, apparently.

Blogger

... And after a couple of days, I have finished updating the archives to have labels. Yay! All my posts have labels.

I also deleted tons of my archive posts... months worth even. I say alot of pointless things. In fact, most of my posts are pointless. :D 64 of them. After that, I mostly rant, talk about my family, my pets, and post pictures. I also have a few favorites. Not many, but there they are. Hehe.

I can't figure out how to do a couple of other things using new blog code with my old template. I'd love to add the number of posts in each month beside their respective links on the sidebar. I'd also like to link to all of my labels over there too. But the tags make no sense to me. And what is up with the widgets. Widgets are supposed to be a hypothetical product for advertisers to practice advertising, and salesmen to practice selling. Bleh. :P

Until I figure it out, I'll just update it manually. Yeah. Ciao.

Currently: Zapping pets.
