Lets see ...

 August 16, 1999

Lets see ... seems like there is so much I want to write about ... even though not much has happened since I wrote yesterday ...

I started to write about my living situation yesterday ... and in my head I sounded so spoiled and bratty that I just couldn't write about it ... and deleted all I had written ... but then today I thought ... shit Liz you are working hard ... and should be happy for what you are accomplishing ... but a part of me still feels bad that there are people out there that can't afford the necessities in life ...

anyway ... the cost of a two bedroom apartment out here is like 15 dollars more than the one bedroom I had in Cali ... and I am making more money than I was in Cali so I have decided to get a two bedroom in October ... this way I can put my whole workshop and the futon in the second bedroom and get a real couch for my living room ... this way when I am working on projects I can shut the door and Kramer won't bother them ... and when I have company they can have some privacy ... and I can also have a kitchen table and I won't have to eat in the living room at the coffee table ...

now I know a couch is expensive ... and it is going to take some savings on my part to get one ... and I was thinking the same about the kitchen table ... but then I saw the possibility of a fantastic project ... buying a table that I could actually afford at Good-Will or garage sale ... and painting it ... along with the chairs ... which now I am really excited about ... cause I already decided I am going to redo my coffee table ... and buy paint colors I actually like ... instead of stuff left over from old projects ... so the whole possibility of the new place is exciting ...

and I am starting to miss all my "stuff" ... everything is out in boxes ... and I keep thinking of stuff I wanna use or read or work on ... and it is all packed away ... I will totally miss living with Kris and Chevy but at the same time I am really looking forward to having my own place again ...

and I told Kris this weekend I was worried ... it was only august and I was already dreading October cause I was going to have to move all my stuff ... and she said ... "ya know it isn't like a regular move ... you don't have to be out of here on a certain day ... each night you can take some stuff over and unpack it ... so when you decide to move in you take the stuff from your room here and you are all set" which is just a great idea ... the task of moving isn't so huge now ... I can get everything hooked up and settled in before I even spend my first night ... so I was happy about that all weekend ...

I had a ticket to go to DC over Labor Day weekend ... but since I will be totally busy with work ... and Kris and Chevy are going to be gone that week ... I changed the ticket to go at Thanksgiving ... since it is a frequent flyer ticket and there are a bunch of blackout days ... so I will only be going for like 4 days ... but that is pretty good ... and I won't extend the trip up to New York this time ... which is a bummer I would love to see Karen and Dana ... but that will have to be for next time ...

I am waiting for Kris to get home for lunch today ... we are going on a Target shopping spree ... I am going to break down and get a Target charge card ... cause there are so many things I need ... and I just haven't gotten paid yet ... and it is killing me ... 3 weeks without making any money has been so hard ... I had to call my mom and borrow some money to pay my phone bill ... well the money was intended for my phone bill and birth control pills ... but I have nothing ... so I paid the phone bill and said screw it to the birth control ... I am not having sex ... so what is the big deal if I don't take them this month ... and wait till I actually have some money ... so that was 30 dollars for the week ... which should be ok ... especially if I work from home ... saves me some gas money ... hahahaaa ...

well I think I have rambled on long enough ... gotta get back to work ... many sites waiting for my design style ... hahahaaa ... or at least to plug everything into them ... ahhhh its Monday ... which means Hazen will be here in 2 days ... yea!!!!
