amalthiaWell I think most of the friends I talk with via IM know that my husband and I are buying a house. It's my first house ever, and closing is on September 13, so I predict the rest of September after this weekend will be busy. Because I gotta start packing to move out of our apartment on top of buying appliances for the house and making some repairs. And my husband is gone until October unless a hurricane closes down operations in the Gulf. I'm actually really excited about having a home and not an apartment. Though, I'm beginning to see why a lot of people prefer apartment living. Though to be fair, my husband and I aren't exactly buying a newly built home so yes some repairs have to be made. It just feels weird to realize I'm going to be a home owner, I guess it just never really occurred to me while I was in college or growing up that I'd ever be able to afford to buy a house. (which I guess is normal if you're strapped for cash all the time) Mostly I'm looking forward to having more room, a real living room!, and now I can finally find a pet dog since we have a yard, well a tiny yard but still grass!!!! I'm giving a lot of thought of just stopping by the animal shelter. I really want a shih-tzu but they are expensive and hard to find and I don't want to get my pet from a puppy mil. I figured as long as I'm able to find a medium sized dog I won't mind vacuming dog hair out of the carpet. (I want an inside dog more than an oustide dog)
My brother is coming to visit me in September, aka I'm driving to San Antonio to pick him up next weekend and bring him back to Houston with me. Mostly, he's coming for moral support and to watch anime and keep me company while shopping for stuff. I'm really looking forward to it but trying not to feel overwhelmed.
Right now I'm starving, I planned to make spagetti, I got everything out on the counter but feel very unmotivated to cook just for myself. And I refuse to go grocery shopping on Labor Day or go out to eat. I think it's criminal that they even have the stores open. So I really don't have a lot of food in the fridge or pantry. (my fault completely, I planned to go grocery shopping yesterday, but after trying on every shoe at Academy, I felt wiped so I came home and went to the gym instead) On the bright side, I did find a pair of shoes that I didn't mind spending money on and I got some new socks, I tried to find a new pair of rollerblades since my last pair broke on me and I didn't like the selections they had there so I'll keep looking around for those. My last pair I had to lace up and I liked that! but all these new ones just have the strap thing you tighten and they are too high on my legs and they dig into my skin uncomfortably.
It looks like a thunderstorm is rolling in, I love storms except when they knock out power or wake me up at 3am. yesterday, I spent a lot of time working on the pay it forward meme, I'm having a blast making mix cds, so today I plan to finish up what I started, and work on this vid I want to finish in time to turn in for Winchestercon. (Not actually sure I'll make the deadline...when push comes to shove and I have the choice between vidding or reading...I 99% of the time pick reading.) But it's a goal and I'm afraid my brain is stagnating.
I've also signed up for Sweet Charity I'm offering up 2 vids to anyone that bids on me. But I don't think bidding starts until after September 8.
