leighblackI'm leaving to see Van Helsing in about an hour. I'm probably not going to get home until 3am or so. Did I sleep at all tonight? Well no, of course not. I've been sitting here watching TV and playing on this damn computer. Made myself a shiny new icon, I did. Bought myself extra icons, seeing as how I'm icon happy and all. I got some new icon requests tonight, so now I'll have more things to work on this weekend. Tomorrow is going to be very, very, very painful.
I haven't given a proper update in a while.
I don't remember where I left off, so we'll start with last week. We had our fundraising garage sale last Thurs & Fri. Besides all the bullshit with Jess, things turned out pretty well. We raised $375 all together. I think that's pretty darned good! Michelle and I hung out at the sale on Friday, which was cool. I don't know her very well, so it was nice to talk. My puppies sat with us most of the day, even though it was cold & windy for most of it. Murphy's Law applied, as it got sunny & beautiful as soon as the sale was over and I had to go into work.
I spent Sat & Sun dog sitting again, as my parents went to watch my bro play ball in Sioux Falls again. Jess and I went to a baby shower for a friend Carrie which was ENDLESS. Yeah, yeah, yeah...all the little onsies look the same. You don't need to show each and every one off. There was no air and I was bored & sweaty. I can't tell you how happy I was to leave!! I swear, I know SO many preggers people right now. There's something in the air I guess.
BTW, damn you![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
wonderfungus for suggesting an icon contest for hugh_pics! I hauled my PSP over to my parents house, downloaded some other software and beat their shitty computer into submission. I ended up spending most of Sat night and all day Sun converting and editing Hugh video. Ugh! I really have no life. Earl was getting really pissed off at me for spending so much time at the computer, instead of catering to his every whim. But, I have some really good footage, which is now stored in pretty little chopped up bits. Makes icon making a snap! I've already got three icons made and I know I have a few more ideas. I'm sure that's what I'll be doing on Sat.
This week has been very, very long. I depend on the weekends as opportunities to catch up on sleep, since I don't get much during the week. But I don't sleep well at my parents, since they have a waterbed, the dogs sleep between my legs, I get really really hot and then I have to get up at 7am to walk them. Since this is two weekends in a row that I've been there, I'm really dragging. Then the Race for the Cure is Sunday morning, so I'm going to have to be up around 6ish. Ack!! My mom better damn well appreciate the sacrifice I'm making to spend the day with her.
I've also been SWAMPED at work all week. We're just getting slammed, although I still find time to goof off while I'm there. It just hasn't made the week go any faster. I know it will get better soon. I'm sure.
Obviously, there's plenty of details over last night's excitement in my earlier journal entry. I won't go over it again, except to say that she sent my tapes today! Wheeeee!! We're definitely having a viewing party next Wed night for girls night. It's been a while since we've all been together, so that'll be fun. Plus, we get to watch Hugh's ass shake!!
So I guess that's about it. Jesus my life is boring. It'll get better, I swear. Next weekend will be Brides of Destruction in Chicago. Plus, I'll get to meetwonderfungus while passing through Madison. I'm expecting some sort of squee-fest.

Item the third: Squee-age WILL be happening next weekend. Especially if a videotape is involved.
-ps- should we be exchanging phone numbers at this point? I think so.

Date: 2004-05-07 09:15 am (UTC)I noticed that my icons are so Oz-based! Involving lots of ass shaking and happy gay dancing. I'm going to have to try for something a little more manly too.
We're going to get along famously! No one else will squee with me! Like their too mature or something. Whatever. I have no shame. Squeeing is perfectly acceptable in my world.
I'll email you my cell digits.
