Okay…

…Way to excited about a box. *laughs*

As I plan on checking my bag at the airport, and not wanting to strain my arm carrying my laptop in a messenger bag, I decided to get a backpack.
A backpack of awesomeness! It has a large compartment, two zip up side pockets (all of which was on the tag that told about it)…& an awesome ‘hidden’ top pocket.
It also has lumbar supports, to make life a little bit easier carrying it through the airport. It’s not padded for laptop, but I’ve got that worked out too. The lumbar support will help with the padding, plus I’m going to have a slightly padded laptop sleeve for my laptop to go in before going in the backpack.

The backpack came in a HUGE box (well in comparison). It’s big enough for me & Harley to sit in…Actually, Harley was kind of curled up into a ball in it, beside me sitting there. *laughs* I have declared it an ‘Not a Box’. It’s just so odd that I should get it, when only a few days ago my one cousin posted a thing on Facebook about Not a Box(es), and I had said I wanted one. She suggested I hijack a delivery guy. *laughs*

Aside from the backpack of awesomeness, I got two pair of boots, and 7 books. [I did what I told myself I wasn’t going to do, and spent some of the money that I was suppose to take with me to Missouri. But…As most of it is for stuff for the trip…I’m counting it as good.] Oh, and a shirt.
I’m still waiting for the arrival of one pair of boots, the shirt, and 6 of the books.

The one pair of boots I got to replace my Steampunk/dress boots. They are ‘taupe’…A bit darker than I was figuring on, but that’s better. *smiles*
They are the ones that came today. They have zippers! [Yeah, I’ve missed boots with zippers. *laughs*] They actually have a real zipper on the inside, and a faux zipper on the outside. Then they have 3 straps with buckles. I shall have to get pictures.
The pair that are due tomorrow are all black, canvas boots…Kind of like the knee-high Converse boots. I got them figuring that the other boots would be too light to wear with black and look how I wanted…And not have to take 5-10 minutes to lace up, as they have zippers too. I was looking and looking and looking (I’ve sort of been looking for similar since Sonja got her Airwalks at the beginning of school, but couldn’t find any to fit me)…Then I decided, why am I looking for women’s shoes? I found them in the guy’s shoes, for a heck of a lot cheaper!

Books…I was surprised to see how skinny the book that came today was…But that’s not a bad thing. It’s the second one in a trilogy (the other two will be here tomorrow). They are technically young kids books…I used the one I got today on the ILA I made…Er…Sonja made. *laughs* But they are historical fiction, set in Michigan, in the pre-state time, and involves the Native Americans. They are written by a woman from Northern Michigan too! The one that came today is 62 pages long…I’m guessing the other two will be similar. So it’ll make for nice easy reading…Which will be good in comparison to a couple of the other books!
One of the other books is of Native American myths & legends. Another is Lolita…It’s sort of been on the to read list, so I figured it was as good of time as any.
The other two books are to make my brain work. *laughs* One is Jung’s, The Red Book…So yeah, lots of brain stuff. The other is a Crime Classification Manual. I’m calling it research…I’m thinking it will help with the one story I have had in my head for ages, that I actually sort of have an outline for. &, could just be quite interesting too.

I should be sleeping…As if school doesn’t get canceled for snow, I’m going to have to get up before 6 to take Mum part of the way to work. [Took her all the way this morning…So I’m quite tired, as I was up before 6, and haven’t had anything that resembles a nap.] One of the women she works with is going to meet us about 10 miles from here @ 6, & Mum is going to ride the rest of the way in with her. Just so I don’t have to drive all that way so early.

Will have to take her in Thursday too, as I need to be in Boyne @ 10 to get my hair cut. It is going away. *shoos hair away*
I already tempted fate…& mostly survived…As I now have black hair! I, thankfully, didn’t swell up this time (like I did the last two times I used a regular shade of black). I intended to get blueblack, as the last time I got it, it didn’t give me a reaction, although it did pretty much wash right out too (even though it was suppose to be permanent). I’m a bit on the itchy side, but nothing I can’t handle.

But, anyway…Yeah…Sleep…& I really, really need to think about packing…Sunday is not that far away.
