Status update:

--The Roni: still awesome. We made mashed potatos together! Our song is "Unforgettable." This is because of the line, "Darling it's incredible that someone so unforgettable thinks I am unforgettable too." It makes me feel good about myself when someone likes me. But when it is someone SO awesome it makes it a million times better. Like... "Well, I can trust his opinion that I am awesome, because he is awesome, and he would know." So the fact that someone who is extremely hilarious, smart, sexy, romantic, caring, fun, and just all around great to be with actually loves me.... I'm in a really great mood right now.

--The Condo: mostly awesome. Way more room, I can cook now (sort of), walkable distance from a lot of things, beautiful everything cause I picked it out. I have pretty Christmas lights up, and snowflakes I made. I decided I don't hate my free table as much as I thought. The humping couch survives! I have room for everything! Badness: walls are crazy thin, I hear everyone around me. My downstairs neighbor has complained about my music and his wife parks in the one parking spot in the entire complex that hinders my getting out the driveway. Also: I got missionaries in today trying to tell me about the lord. Still no interwebs.

--Work: still poopy. BUT, I did work thanksgiving and the day after and get double time and a half both days! People were really nice to me on Thanksgiving and all "thanks for working on thanksgiving." They catered, too, so I got an entire free thanksgiving meal while I was there. So... between the thanksgiving a la Roni, the one I'm having with my parents, the one work gave me, and the Roni making me mashed potatoes another day.. I ended up with 3 1/2 thanksgivings when I thought I wouldn't even have one! I weirdly ended my day at work on thanksgiving being.... well, thankful.

--My mom: still sick, obviously. Actually since I last blogged in detail she has had a minor heart attack, which was really scary. It turned out to be sort of a blip compared to everything else going on with her, but... It sucks that she's been so tired and not hungry. She still hasn't even seen my new place, which makes me sad because she was so excited about it (maybe even more excited than me) to begin with. I hadn't realized how much I depend on her for so many things, either, until lately. And every time she gets more chemo it seems to set back any progress she's made in getting less tired.

--MP3 player: busted already. I did my homework on brands. I bought an expensive one. And.... still busted. I guess I'm glad I bought the extended warranty, but now I'm sort of annoyed that I just got a random bill for $25 bucks from them for replacing it. So... I paid $200 for it in the first place, $30 for the warranty, then the money to send it back to them... and I get charged another $25 for no reason, basically. I'm thinking of being like "fuck you" and not paying it but I don't really know what the reprecussions of that would be. I'm glad to have it back though. I'm weirdly dependent on it nowadays.

--Christmas gift from work! I got the gift I selected from the catalog. It's a CD player for if I want music when I'm not right by my computer since I live IN AN ENORMOUS PLACE now. As much as I hate my job: the company does treat us pretty well.

That's all I remember for now.

word

1) I still don't have the interwebs but that's changing soon. The guy I was talking to about a discount/whether or not it could be included in my condo fee finally gave up and was like "do whatever you want." I've been looking at DSL today, and it looks like I'd have to get a phone line so I'm thinking of just biting the bullet and going with insight again. If I've learned one thing: it is really annoying not to have the internet at home. I did surprisingly well with not missing it as far as wasting all my time on there like I used to. But it sucks that I'm out of communication with everyone else and that every time I need to look up a phone number or address or directions or try to get my MP3 player fixed...... I have to wait till I can get to my parent's house or the library, and often forget when I am there. I feel doubly dumb at the library because I weirdly have to poop there ALL THE TIME.

2) speaking of which, yeah, my $200 MP3 player is busted, and it's been driving me nuts that I can't play music in the car. It's also stupid that I paid that much for something on the premise that it wouldn't break and now it's broken. But I did orig. cough up the extra money for the extended warranty, so that's good I guess.

3) I HAVE THE MOST AWESOME BOYFRIEND EVER. I think I realized this in the car when we were singing Dschinghis Khan & TMBG together. No. It was when we recorded "Pork Chop Make Out" together. No, it was actually when I came home from work and he had prepared an entire surprise thanksgiving dinner for me.

More later! The parents are home!

yo yo yo what it is

So.... I'm not on often, but I am now occaisionally checking emails etc. at the Libary. True story.
