My $1.25 costume:



Minnie Mouse!


...Man, my hands are going to get really hot!

Another day,

another headache. UGH. At least it's moved from the left side of my head to the right?



...sigh.

Oh, and one more thing

Stuck in my head. Stuck in yours.




...You're welcome. :)

For dinner tomorrow:

Steak. I marinaded the steak and it's sitting in the fridge as we speak, taking the marinade in (I hope). I also hope it's delicious and not horrible (obviously).

It's never much fun to ruin a steak.

In other non-food related items: I went for a 4 mile walk today (and on Sunday)! I love walking so I think this is going to be my new mode of exercise for the time being. Maybe I'll get back into running once it gets nicer out.

Oh, also: WHAT?!

Related (but I can't tell which is worse): DOUBLE WHAT?!

Oh the internet. You harbor so many treasures.

And finally (!!!) I really hope my migraine is completely gone by tomorrow. Two days is quite enough thank you.

:)

My mom is coming to visit this weekend! Two whole weekends of fun (the first with Brooke)! What more could a lonely girl ask for? I need to start thinking of things for us to do!

I am trying to decide if I should brave the library's used book sale tomorrow night (the first night) when it costs moolah to get in, or wait til the books have been picked over and go on Saturday. I guess that's up to momma. Man, I love used book sales!

In other news, there was a HUGE fiasco with my new laptop purchase. It's a long story involving billing address confusion, many phone calls, and a super nice lady named Jackie, so I will spare you. BUT! It finally got resolved, and it should be on its way to me soon. Hooray! Then I won't need to use a computer without a functioning left-click button OR N key. It's more difficult than you'd think to hit the little key nub that hides under that shiny, plastic key on the keyboard.

Also, I am finally getting better at parking in my garage! That thing is super tiny. At least this way I don't need to defrost/defog my windshield in the morning now that it's getting colder.

I JUST REMEMBERED TOMORROW IS PAY DAY!

I am being a complete and total spaz at the moment. I think it's because I am super tired. I guess this means goodbye for now.

Goodnight moon.

My computer

is on it's way out. I had to pry up the left-click button on my laptop because it doesn't pop up anymore and was stuck down and I couldn't do anything because my computer thought I was left clicking everything at lightning speed! So now I have to tap on the touch pad to click things, and it's just not as effective. I COULD just get one of those portable mice with the USB connection, but my computer overheats like nobody's business, I can't close it or the screen will get stuck turned off, and it's moving slow/still running on XP.

So, it's time for a new one I guess. I just don't know anything about computers (except, on the whole, Macs are super expensive and Dells are crappy). So here's to hoping that doing some research can help me. I don't want to spend a huge chunk of money either. If I wanted to do that, I'd just go ahead and buy a Mac.

In other technology related news...the servers went down at work today and we were without an internet connection for over half the day. That was super. :) Good thing I had other things I could work on that didn't require sending emails or searching things online.

Man, I am so tired. I just can't seem to ever stay asleep. I wake up about a million times for one reason or another - a passing train is blaring it's horn, I have to pee, I dreampt my alarm already went off and I wake up in a panic even though my alarm never did go off, and "just because" are a few of my favorites.

Yawn.

I think I might go get my new Iowa driver's license this week! I also am going to register to vote in Iowa. Caucus, here I come!!
