Call From The Past

WOW ... WOW ... WOW ...
i just got off the phone with Shalini ... we were friends from age 9 to 19 ... and then we didn't speak again until today ... at age 31 ... 12 years of not speaking and except for filling in a few details it was like we never stopped speaking ...

it was some stupid fight that got blown up ... and it was two girls who were inseparable growing apart that kept us from talking ... and maybe it was something we had to do to become the adults we are today ... but for 12 years i have felt terrible that we haven't spoken ... and after her accident i wanted to talk to her so badly ... but i thought it just wasn't the right time ... she was going through enough ... and now finally we are talking again ... it was so great ...

her sister is in school out here so there is a chance i will get to see her sometime soon which would be rad ...

and we were talking about dorky stuff ... like how we wear our hair ... and we do it the same now ... i mean things that never ever change ... it is amazing ... it was just sooooo great talking to her ...

but for now ... it is 2:30 so i MUST get to work on the house ... david is even awake ... so we should get this done and be able to relax tonight in a nice clean organized bitchen house ... :)

Desk Downfall

this is rediculous that i am still awake ... now i am doing what david does ... we will never get everything finished tomorrow ...

our new desk set up is kind of a bummer ... the thing is so huge we are across the room from each other now ... we used to be sitting so our chairs were practically touching ... and we could touch ... now we gotta get up to do that ... oh well at least the set up looks bitchen now ...

Can't Sleep

can't seem to go to sleep tonight ... keep sitting here messing around with stuff. .. oh well ... i'll wind up sleeping all day tomorrow ... although David is still up ... he must be happy ... checking the clock ... seeing it is almost 3 AM and thinking ... woohoo she is still up so i don't have to feel bad about being up ...

it is kinda bugging me i can't get into my work computer ... i know there are sign ups ... and my customers email me all the time ... people could really need stuff and I can't even find out ... although at the same time it is probably pretty good for me to take a break ... i have been feeling quite burnt out lately ...

David's birthday is on the 25th of this month ... and my plan had been to take him to The Russian Tea Room because he has never been there before and always wanted to go ... but now that we are getting closer to his birthday i don't have the money to do it ... and i have no idea what to do now for his birthday if we aren't going there ...

hummm i did think of something i may be able to do for his birthday ... he has never been to a broadway show ... or any type of show for that matter ... and he was a Rocky Horror fan in high school like myself ... we tried to go once but there was standing room only ... which now way would that be fun ... i could ask for that Friday off and we could go to the city and see Rocky Horror ... i'm going to check for tickets ... The Rocky Horror Show Live

damn the tele-charge site isn't working ... i guess i'll have to check tomorrow ... i think i am going to get in bed ... watch Fletch and try and fall asleep ...

Rearranging Ideas

well ... finally ... everything on my blogger is working the way i want it to ... even if at the bottom of the page it says 'done with errors on the page' ... as long as the errors don't seem to affect me ... who cares ...
to say the least today was insanely unproductive ... i couldn't get into my machine at work so i couldn't answer emails ... or set up new accounts ... David slept all day so we couldn't work on rearranging the bedroom ... i ate some of my left-overs from last night and got sick all over again ... [so of course i threw that out pronto] ... and i just felt icky the rest of the day ...
we did do a little grocery shopping ... went out for coffee ... FINALLY packaged up all the cardboard boxes by the front door ... it is so rediculous the garbage man won't take them but we do not have any sort of cardboard recycling in the area ... what do they expect me to do with them?
i'll tell you what i am going to do ... they are all packaged up now so i am going by our old office and dumping those in the dumpster ... no one will be phased by it and i will have a clean front door again ...
oh and david did take apart these funky silver chairs we have but they were just taking up toooooo much room in this little place and we weren't using them ... so they are all disassembled and put away for a time when we have a bigger house ... and i took everything off the bookcases so we wouldn't have to do that part tomorrow ... we could just start rearranging ... i can't wait ... that room is such a disaster right now ... i hate going in there ... probably why i haven't been sleeping so well ... i lay there and think 'how could this room work better' ... what a dork ...
i want to finish everything up with the house tomorrow ... so i don't have to think about it anymore ... and i can take some pictures ... everyone keeps asking what the place looks like ... and since february it has been in such a state of transition i didn't want to photograph it ... i also have that kitchen cabinet from the 50's that we bought last weekend ... maybe i'll go get some Rustolium [sp?] and work on it throughout the day while we are moving stuff ... it drys fast enough that it might be ready by night time which would be fabulous ... yea i think that should be my plan for tomorrow ...
man i have such lofty ideas before i go to bed ... then i wake up and want to just rest knowing the week ahead of me is going to wipe me out ... oh well i guess we will see in the morning ... for now it is off to bed ...
xxox

Day Sleeper

I love David dearly ... but when he pulls stuff like this it upsets me so much ...
he is a lot like I used to be ... a computer insomniac who does their best work in the middle of the night ... some where around 2:45 is where it really kicks in and the next thing you know it is 6 AM and you still just have a little bit of work you want to do ... everything is clicking ... the net is fast ... your mind is racing from a caffeine and nicotine buzz and it is finally somewhere between 7 and 9 AM and it is time for sleep ... this is all well and good ... i was like this for years [but having to be in an office now at 9:30 AM instead of working at home hardly leaves me time to stay up all night] ... so anyway this is all fine ... but there are 2 days a week when we are finally home together and that is Saturday and Sunday ... so when we make plan for Saturday and he crawls into bed at 9:30 in the morning when I am just getting up ... i am kinda pissed ... it is now 2:30 and it will be well over an hour before he wakes up ... so if we get started on all we talked about doing it won't be till he is finally awake and out of that groggy state which could easily be 5 PM ... well needless to say i am going to again start getting tired at like 10 ...
he has Sunday ... Monday ... Tuesday ... Wednesday ... and ... Thursday ... to stay up all night and sleep all day ... why does he do it on Friday too ... Ya know for 5 months he worked Saturday and Sunday ... and we never had a day off together ... maybe that was better ... the plans i made didn't involve him ... so i was able to get everything done while he was at work ... but you know what was planned for today ... to clean and completely rearrange the room he is currently sleeping in ... it isn't even like i can proceed with my plans without him ... he is in there asleep ... and i don't want to just go in there and get to work anyway cause the day will be worse if he is cranky too ... :)
well i am going to go back to packing up my winter clothes ... hummm i bet i wind up laying down to take a nap around the time he is getting up ... irony huh ...
