I soooo found what I’m buying myself for my birthday. I always have a hard time deciding what to do with my birthday money because birthdays only come around once a year and I can’t generally justify blowing that kind of money. I’d toyed with the idea of putting it towards a new piccolo, my piccolo is a peice of shit I bought cheap awhile back. I had a Yamaha I bought back in high school but I ended up selling that one not long after I moved to CT. Well, when I considered getting into a band again I bought a new crappy one. I think I’m going to nix the new piccolo idea though and save up for a nice grenadalia wood one someday. I don’t play piccolo too often anyway, it’s too damned loud.

When I came home today I found a catalog awaiting me, full of totally awesome clothes. I nearly tossed it in the trash, usually catalogs like this don’t have my size but this one did!! I am sooooo buying clothes out of it with my birthday money. They have some awesome gothic stuff, combat boots, dresses, peasant shirts and whatnot. I’m in heaven. 🙂 I can’t wait till my birthday now!! *jumps up and down*

I bought a pool cue. 🙂 I got a great deal on a graphite cue online, it’s purple! I love it and I can’t wait to get it. I’m not sure what I’m going to do with the one I have, the shaft is warped but it’s neat, it’s got a chinese wizard looking dude on it. *shrugs* Maybe I’ll get a new shaft for it, it’s a nice cue other than the shaft being warped.

I guess our winter is planned out now. We’re going to be spending at least the next three months doing home improvements. Oh boy, sanding, urethaning floors, staining and hanging trim, the list goes on. I’m sure I’ll be taking a ton of pictures, we can’t WAIT to get the house looking nice. It’s really cool to be able to finally finish this place. This place was torn down and rebuilt by my husbands father who was never able to completely finish it due to divorcing hubbys mom and moving out. Two other people have been in here since him, and they’ve all tried to finish it, only to fuck it up, trim is on backwards and shit. We’re going to tear all of it out and refinish it properly. I’m sure hubbys dad will be excited to finally see his son finishing out what was started 20 years ago. This place is special to all of us and it will be wonderful to have it finished.

Anyway, I uh, was supposed to join hubby for TV half an hour ago and obviously I haven’t left my computer yet. 🙂
