This weekend was pretty full for me. Since I had Friday off, that sorta counts. Mom had taken Friday off too (for a seperate reason) so we went to lunch and then went to my grandma's because we wanted us to try and fing my aunt's old baby book so she could send it to my other aunt. So the two of us went through all of her scrapbooks and photo albums looking for it. It was kinda fun, actually. Then, we went out to dinner when grandma came back from her card game. We never did find the baby book (it was found later on grandma's bookshelf where we didn't even think of looking).

Saturday we did some more clean-up. I culled some of my old wardrobe. Stuff that I haven't worn in over ten years. So needless to say seriously out of date, so I thought, "Why not give 'em away." I also got rid of some of my old (but clean) undies. I mean, I don't wear briefs anymore, so I didn't bother in keeping them.

I also went on a mini spending spree. I was looking for books on web design at Barnes & Noble (which I found, BTW), I came across Rurouni Kenshin 19, Death Note 1, and The Wallflower 5. I got those too. I also stopped by Best Buy and bought the latest two disks of Samurai Champloo. It's strange somehow actually physically holding a copy of DN in my hands when I've been so used to reading it on the screen, but then I felt that way when I got vol. 17 of Furuba.

We may have found an apartment. I mean, ideally we'd rather have a house, but if all we can find is an apartment... so be it. It's not too much beyond our price range and they seem to be pretty nice. But the thing is, whether or not they'll allow three pets. That seems to be the major problem we come across.

I changed my wallpaper. Even though I really loved the Jin one I had (he looked especially good), I switch to Saiyuki. Hey, I figure why stare at one bishie when I can drool at four of them. Here it is, I got it directly from Minekura-sensei's official site:




I have 4 spot free for icons. One is going to the Cloud/Tifa that flamika will eventually make, one is hopefully going towards another Zel/Amelia one, one is a free one and the other one may go to the "L Lives" one I'm planning on making.

Well, I have to go get my blood work done today for my drs. appointment next week. I don't have to fast anymore, so that's good. I also have to call the vet and reschedule Missy's teeth cleaning for another time.

Congrats on the productivity and the apartment!! In some parts of the country (like mine) living in a house is almost unimaginable, so it's not so bad =)

Thanks! I did a bunch of lookin' on Apartments.com and found a few to choose from, actually.

It's not that we don't like apartments, it's just we have so much crap, we'd not have a lot of room!! Living in a house has spoiled us considerably!

Ah, gotcha!
Plus I sympathize about the pet factor. When we last went looking for an apartment our choices were cut by probably 60% just cause of our cat! Guess you've got triple the trickiness.
Good luck! I'm sure you'll find the right one =)

Yeah, most places that do allow pets only allow two and we have three... well that seems to be where we run into trouble.It's not like we're simply gonna give one away! They're our babies.

Thanks for the support.

I always hate to throw things away.....

but, yeah, I haven't done that in awhile so maybe I have to do it soon..sigh..

Good luck at the drs:)

PS--Spending money at B&N = happiness (well, at least for me:)

Yeah, I'm bad at that as well. I'm such a pack rat...

It's just a routine check-up for my Crohn's Disease.

Yes, spending money at any bookstore is happiness... even if you don't really have much.

Eeee, I love that song!

You're like me when I snag a new copy of almost . . . anything I read. ^^;; The majority of it I've downloaded and read on the screen, so it's a strange sense of de ja vu when I get a new volume in.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed about the pets. *hugs*

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

Yeah, so do I...

The majority of stuff I've read is mostly images of scans that have been very piecemeal so you tend to miss a few things, like with Trigun. So it's nice to be able to 'fill in the gaps'... and in English no less!!
