I needed to get errands and domestic chores done today and all my local stores were closed. Blasted to all hell! How DARE they!

Ok, j/k of course. I was actually surprised. Not many places close for holidays anymore.

So the new roomie starts moving his new stuff in tonight. I’m excited. It’s been some time since I had a roommate and I’m really looking forward to it. The fact I’ve known the hussy for years only adds to the comfort level.

The bad news is I STILL haven’t moved my desk, the dresser, or the bed frame yet. *sigh* I’ve been so lazy lately. Even my normal domestic chores have piled up. Today, I cleaned the kitchen and I had so many dirty dishes in the sink the dishwashwer was full. Hello! I’m one person. You can imagine how long the dishes had been piling up. In a way, the roomie moving in will help. Knowing someone else will see your mess can be very motivating. hehehe.

I’m sure you were just dying to hear all that but no one reads on the weekends anyway. I’m bound to have something new to say by Monday.

I’m in good spirits this morning. Even though, I got accused of being a fake today too! Honest Abe! Of course, it doesn’t matter that most of my favorites on the blogroll have already met me. ‘Cause, they are all fakes too. Riiiiiight. The emailer thought his attempt at being anonymous was clever but he sent it from the same IP he normally sends me email from. Tsk tsk tsk. It did give me a laugh though. (I kept thinking of an episode of Star Trek where this Admiral is out to find spies amongst the crew. She even accuses Picard of being one. I know, what a geek.)

In less dramatic developments, I finally cleaned off my desk. OY! What a chore that was. I’d let so much mail and stuff pile up it took me 2 and 1/2 hours to sort thru all of it. Course, I still have to move it into my room. The new roomie is moving in soon and I have to start shifting stuff around. Not really fair of me to dominate the living room w/my desk full of gadgets, gizmos, and mail. I also have to put away the air mattress. It’s still inflated from when brettcajun and homer were here. (was that subtle enough? *giggle*) Before I forget, anyone local need a dresser drawer set or a full size bed frame?

I’m getting back into my gym schedule again. Everytime I get a steady rhythm something happens it seems. It’s driving me nuts. My schedule is slowing down thankfully. yay! And speaking of, I know I haven’t posted the rest of the work out tips. I’m working on it.

Oh, don’t you hate when you forget to return a video? Especially, when the video store is only 3 blocks away!

So now that I’ve crawled down off the cross a bit, I could touch on other mindless updates. Chad Fox is coming over tonight to watch a mooovie with me. I’m making him wash the dishes in payment for standing me up yesterday. That’ll teach him.

The weather here has been beautiful this week. Today was no exception. I went for a nice ride this morning along the beach. Very nice. It gave me a chance to clear my head a bit. Now that I’ve got a little experience under my belt, I’ll have to start looking for a riding buddy.

I have another ride along w/the same medic crew scheduled for this next week. I can’t wait! They commented to my instructor that I was quick, eager, and competent!

Did I mention we finally got a raise in our contract for work? It’s only 7% but added to the 8% we got last year it’s a good start. We are still way behind other cities in the area but it’s nice to see all my (our) hard work paying off. (Yeah, a 15% increase and we are STILL not up to par. How pathetic is that?) The 7% is only for a year w/a line opener in the contract however, it’s far easier to keep something than gain something when you’re dealing w/a city-gov. Our staffing won’t improve anywhere near enough for them to argue it away so I’m not worried. It’s effective July 1st. Yippeeee!!! (of course, I still can’t afford a condo in the city. *sigh*)

In tivo world, I’m still loving the new Doctor Who on scifi. It rocks! And the series finale of Charmed is driving me nuts w/anticipation. They killed off two of the three sisters but Leo is back. OMG! The last episode is coming up soon and I can’t wait.

Told ya, I was back….Did ya miss me?

I’ve realized now why I let the apartment get messy at times. When it’s clean, it becomes painfully obvious how little I actually own. At least when it’s messy, the place looks lived in.

Ok, it was a good try . . .the reality is I’m just lazy. I’m not uber messy or neat really. The pad often goes from clean to a varied state of disarray and back again. It is a never ending struggle. blech!

Why can’t I be rich and have a hot butler?
