roar.

It’s back to work for me…aww.  At least it’s only 3 nights this week.  🙂  I am still debating on OT or not this weekend, we shall see.  *yawns*

I went to bed around 11:00PM last night and slept pretty well.  Finally got up around 9:30 to get some laundry done.  I might go nap again before the day is up otherwise I think I will be pretty tired at work tonight.  Not that that is anything new but at least I don’t feel as shitty as I did last week.  I was in mega-grump mode and just bleck.

I know this is old news but I am still in shock over Steve Irwin dying.  I really don’t know why but his death makes me very sad.  I didn’t watch his show religiously by any means or really follow his career that closely, I guess it was just that he was passionate about what he did and he really cared.  And of all things to kill that man…a sting ray?!  I have to confess to my morbid curiosity to see the video of his death even though I know it will just upset me.  I lead such a sheltered life I have a hard time believing that things like that really do happen.  I’m a freak, what can I say.

Yesterday the mailman dropped off a wee package on my doorstep from my Aunt Jeanne up in NY.  I opened up the box and found two wee glass angels with Matt’s name and my name on them.  How cute, our first "name things"!  Matt will have to see his next week when he gets home from CO!  They are very cute, I should take some pictures today…if only I had some charged batteries laying around.  I wonder if Matt and I should take a 2 day trip up to Buffalo to see my aunties, airfare can’t be too expensive and we’d have free room and board…and neither of us have been to Buffalo yet.  Hmmm.

I am so excited that it’s getting closer to fall and winter!  I can’t wait to see the seasons change and hello it’s that time of year for everything PUMPKIN!  Mmmm…pumpkin.  I should change up my diary colors to reflect my happiness but alas I am feeling that would require too much effort. at the moment.

I ordered Care Bear checks yesterday; I am eternally 5 years old.  At least now I will have checks that reflect my current address and hello duplicates!  I could finally afford them after years of using the plain boring bank ones with a very old address on them.

A new comforter was finally purchased!  Matt’s had our current comforter since he started college in 2000 so you can imagine that it has seen better days.  🙂  I kept putting off buying one to wait until he and I could pick one out together but he told me that I could just go ahead and order one if I found something that I liked.  I wound up with a down comforter that is navy blue on one side and deep red on the other(you know, to change things up a bit) via overstock.com for $50.00.  I ordered the King size even though we only have a queen size bed, you can never have enough blanket sometimes!  I can’t wait for it to arrive!

The house bug has bitten me lately!  I really want a house and something to fix up…to be proud of.  Unfortunately housing out here is OUTRAGEOUS and I can’t fathom paying as much for a house that you can get out west for half the price.  Perhaps Arizona has spoiled me.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is being released July 13th of next year.  😀  Now when is book 7 coming out?!

I think I’ve probably rambled enough.  Later taters, have a nice day. 🙂

i’m a freak too…i sorta want to see the video, but i know it will freak me out hardcore. did you hear that his manager/really good friend actually watched the video of it? he had to for some reason i can’t remember right now. i hate fall and winter. i wish it was summer always. i’m still using the second of the first set of checks i’ve ever had; they have my old address from 3 years ago onthem. it’s just that i hardly ever write checks, you know? okay enough rambling.RYN: no, he hasn’t decided on re-enlisting yet. i really have NO idea what he’s leaning towards, either. it’s kind of worrisome. heh. xo

So much stuff in this entry! I want to order fun new checks too, I just can’t decide on which ones I want… And a King size is the PERFECT sized down comforter for a queen bed (I have one too!). I buy all of my blankets king sized since I like the “bedspread” look rather than the “blanket” look. Oh, and I hate bed skirts. I was shocked by Steve Irwin’s death… everyone was, I suppose… butI just keep remembering the episode when his dog passes away of old age in her sleep right next to him and he was so sad to see her go… at least they get to play together again (if you believe in that sort of thing).
