really! my big excitement this week has been sleeping for twelve hours monday night and getting the next two books in the wheel of time series. i’m craving vegetables. i want to babble, and i’ve found myself babbling nicely to certain people, but when it comes to writing here, i want to be a little more impressive. piffle. i need to stop that. have i mentioned that “piffle” is my new favourite word? i don’t even know if it is a word, but i like it. it sounds more refined that pfft. piffle, i say!
although i love my bee to distraction, i’m starting to get the redesign bug again. it sucks. i wish i could be happy with my layout for more than three months. while i’m at it, i wish i could be even a little artistically inclined so i wouldn’t have to keep ripping off other people’s art to help create my layouts. blah blah blah. i also need to update the templates page and fix one up for kaydee. yeah, and buy envelopes for all those (*cough* five *cough*) valentines i’m going to send.
my neck, back & shoulders are incredibly stiff. i told meghan i’m going to start hanging about outside the massage therapy school in hopes of picking up a masseuse to take home with me. either that or ask my cousin if her massage-therapist husband has any single friends he can set me up with. yes, i know. it’s bad to use someone just for their talented hands, but i promise i’ll reciprocate with my talented… ahem. you get the picture.
i hate my hair today. i’m freezing. it was almost-snowing on the way in to work. julie commented last night that it was cold enough to snow and as soon as she said the s-word i knew it would. how weird is that? so, it’s her fault. don’t ever say it or it will come true.
i’m taking friday off work. i wanted yesterday off, but since i had the union meeting to go to i decided it would be dumb to be off all day and then drive out to new west at six. so, friday i’m going to take the car into aamco to have a transmission service and have them look at the gearshift and figure out why i can’t shift into L gear anymore. i’m praying it will be a very easy, cheap fix.
i can’t bear to put any money into the car now. hopefully, if i stick to my budget, i’ll have reduced my debt enough by next year to be able to afford a new car. the only way i could do it now is to get a $10,000 car. i’m sure i could find something for that amount, but if i’m honest, i got spoiled by my first car being new and i hate the idea of buying a used car. so, if i’m good, maybe by next year i’ll be able to buy a vw golf. nothing tricked out, just a good, solid, reliable, volkswagen. i *want* a beetle, but i can’t see spending… hrm. i just looked it up and it’s not that much more for a beetle. maybe i’ll have to rethink my plan a tad.
ack! look at all the crap i wrote! who the hell took over my keyboard? anyway, i’m going to go input more fucking applicant information and then generate labels to go on the “sucks to be you” letters they get sent. *sigh* thank god i already work here. with all these people applying, i’d never have a chance to get in.
A VW! Ack! NO!! Buy a Honda! A honda civic actually! =) Cute, reliable, sporty and affordable. I have one myself.
me too! i *heart* my honda.
Hmmm. Piffle is a cool word, indeed. It sounds terribly English though.
Btw, I love the bee and will be very sad to see him go. (Don’t you freakin’ hate it when people do that? Everyone told me that when I got rid of the chlorine bottle. Bah!)
no! no! no! friends don’t let friends buy a volkswagen! =)
why is everyone so against volkswagens? geez, since i can remember, my dream car has been a beetle. i’ve always wanted a vw.
