A Ceramic Fish Joint

I totally fixed my one fixable issue with my iBook. I rule! *claps* Stupid Keychain Access, trying to defeat me. Hah! I won in the end…many, many months later. Still, I have working Keychain Access now!

Now, to figure out the battery chargin' problem without going to an Apple store…

Now, lately I've been a little out of sorts. Normally retail therapy helps. So, retail therapy I played this weekend. As you'll see, sanity went the way with my dollars…

Friday:
Dinner with Wes
Books! Unix in a Nutshell and a book on Auras. The Unix in a Nutshell was totally cheap, though…30% off at Borders for because they love me.
Saturday:
Target – couple of towels, a new bathmat. Pillow shams to match my new bed stuff. And apparently other things cause I spent lots of dollars there, too.
Sunday:
Trip to Orlando!
Torrid – got a kickass dress that was on clearance then 50% off so it was like 25 bucks instead of 70. I'm still not sure how pretty/ugly I look in it. But dammit, it's fun.
Lush. Oh Lush. This was the point of the trip. I have so much smelly stuff for the bath now. I made a list. Don't laugh.
Dream Time temple balm
Schnuggle body butter
Almond Butter butter cream
Dreamtime bath melt
Something Wicked This Way Comes bath melt
Ceridwen's Cauldron bath melt
Aromaco deodorant
Black Tooth Gel
I Love Juicy shampoo
Godiva solid shampoo
Hard Shampoo Bar solid shampoo
Recon Hair Treatment
Bathos Bubble Bar
Aaaaand then the Bath Bombs:
Youki-Hi (2)
Bollywood (2)
Sex Bomb
Butterball
Still Life
Golden Slumbers
Waving Not Drowning

For freebies I got:
A considerable chunk of Jungle Hair Conditioner
Tisty Tosty – bath bomb
Something Wicked This Way Comes bath melt
Pop In The Bath bubble bar
Solid Shampoo Tin (cause I bought two shampoos)

Luckily, I'm feeling much better. I've put together all my furniture, so I have two side tables and a dresser chest thingy for clothes! I'm still washing/sorting clothes, though. I've cleaned the entire living room, which was damn hard. Floors get done by the roommate. I need to finish my room and then tackle the kitchen. But I'm tired and have been cleaning all weekend. The plan is to get cleaning people after we…uhm…clean up enough for them to come. Oh how I can't wait for that. Cleaning is dumb.

Well, stuff has happened lately I suppose. Visited my family. Got to play with sweet, sweet drugs again. That was nice. My brother actually paid me back a huge portion of the money he owed me. My mom didn't drive me nearly as insane as she could have. My dad depressed me because his life just sucks. My grandma needs to fucking die.

In other news, I was one of the top five helpdesk peeps for the first quarter, which means I get to leave work early and do the dinner thing with my awesome manager and stuff. The silly thing is that I no longer actually knew where/owned clothes that were on a “business casual” level so I had to go shopping this weekend for something to wear. Then I bought lots of extra stuff that rocks! Yay rocking clothes! Oh and I got cute new PINK birkinstocks, too! Yay spending dollars!

And, finally, today I stood up to say something across the isle to someone, and was sent a note from a co-worker that said “the new guy just dissed you.” And I jumped up and was all, screw you! And sat down. Then realized who he was. And was all, holy fuck. So, new guy = multiple orgasm boy of last summer who I kinda broke and especially treated like absolute crap towards the end. Well, that just made me feel like shit. I suck. However, I'm proud to say that I've sent a rather nice email apologizing for everything and asking for friendship and uhm…general coolness in life and/or work. It was one of the most grown-up things I've ever done, as I usually just avoid stuff. Heh, I even told him that I like to default to just avoiding problems. So, maybe Heidi is getting better. Or, uhm…who knows. But, though he did something really shitty to me in the end, I can look back and see how my actions totally caused it. So, yeah. We'll just see if he responds to the email.

And, uhm. I guess that's probably it.
