:::sniff::: Mmmm...new carpet.

Yay for us.  We have achieved new wall-to-wall carpeting upstairs and I think that's just fine.   The room that couldn't be finished is nearly finished and I just don't know what to do with myself.  I'm expecting a flood or freak tornado or something of that nature to step in and set the universe right by wiping out that room, since I'm obviously violating some law of nature by actually managing to convert that attic into a bedroom.  Perhaps the earth will crack open and swallow us all whole, new carpet and all.  If I suddenly stop posting stuff here in LJ, send rescue dogs.

 rumdiculous  sent me a lovely compilation CD (which I probably already mentioned) and it's funny 'cause I'm really stuck on three of the songs, which I listened to over and over as I was working on butterfly pins (they're cute but tedious and I need good music to stay motivated).  Tracks two, seven and nine.  Chou, Simple and Clean, and Simple and Clean techno version.  Sad, sweet, and bouncy, respectively.  So I worked and cycled through sad, sweet, bouncy...sad, sweet, bouncy...like my "change of life" had hit me with a vengeance and I was on an emotional roller coaster minus brakes.  It was amusing.  I had to pop that CD out and put in some Ryan Farish because his stuff is like musical Prozac, it calms me right down.  I'm such a freak.  :-)

 

Speaking of being a freak, I had to take a break from playing "Shadow Of The Colossus", partly because I wasn't getting a damn thing done work-wise and partly because of all the DRAMA at the end of the game.  Waah!  It bugged me so much I quit just as I reached the final colossus.  I'll wait 'til I'm done ovulating before I try to tackle the last battle again.

For New Year's, we went to the casino in Niagara Falls.  It was fun.  I got a paper "happy new year!" tiara with gold glitter on it and got to watch a couple thousand adults behave like little children.  Everyone was too busy losing their money in the slot machines to pay attention to the countdown, so we sort of missed that.  We got free champagne (mine had a slice of peach in it which made it twice as yummy) so that was nice.

My New Year's resolutions are to walk more, to keep liking myself, and to make more money (or save it, or something).  Also I intend to not let people get me down, and to get out more since I'm living like a damn shut-in and there's no need.  Being isolated sucks, and no one appreciates that I'm here all the time so why bother?  I promised myself after my divorce that I'd get out into the world and stop being so solitary, yet here I am making the same mistakes...  :-/ 

So; walk more, talk more, make more, groove on self more.  Smile more.
