Well it has been a fun couple of days

Well it has been a fun couple of days ... lets see ... Thursday I found out I got the apartment ... I was sooooo excited ... I just love this place and I can hardly wait to move in ... I wish it were yesterday that I got the keys instead of next Friday ... but good things come to those who wait ... besides it gives me a bit of time to decide where everything is going to go ... and I need to get new bookcases, a couple of bar stools and a table for my patio ... ahhh yea I am totally excited ...  anyway Thursday night dean and Kris and I went out for a drink that turned into a kind of late night ... but really fun ... we went to Lupos at Mandalay Bay for some drinks and then dean took us up to The Foundation Room which was bitchen ... so high up there the view was amazing ... and the place is just cool itself ... all the walls are covered with patchwork tapestries and there are scented candles and incense everywhere ... there is a huge media room and then these dark private rooms ... all the artwork was amazing ... and we hung out and watched a Madonna concert for a while ... we went back to Lupos and met Jason G. and hung out ... then headed to Gordon Bierch ... which was dead and boring ... but I got some guy to pull down his pants and let me take a picture of his ass ... I can't believe what people will do just cause I have a digital camera and I tell them it is going to go up on the internet ... I will have to start testing that theory more ... {smile} ...  oh it was such a bummer ... Thursday afternoon I stopped at the good-will by my house ... to see if they had anything I needed for my new place ... and as I was leaving I saw this older couple trying to get a dresser into their car ... so I stopped to help them ... and it just wasn't going to fit ... I was about to tell them we could load it into my van when a woman came out and said ... you got the dresser I wanted ... and I told her I had one just like it that I would love to get rid of ... for 20 bucks ... she said sold ... then offered to put these peoples dresser into her station wagon ... and we would all follow them ... drop off their dresser then she would follow me to get mine ... well shit if they didn't all tear out of the parking lot ... and I was behind them for a bit ... but lost them in a construction area ... and I hadn't given the woman my number ... so I missed out on selling my dresser that I hate ... maybe I will run into her again sometime ...  I keep daydreaming about how I am going to set up my new place ... {smile} ... I am so excited ... next week I am going to take some time to repaint my coffee table and night stand ... change some handles on these groovy chest of drawers I have ... so stuff is ready when I move in ... today we stopped at a garage sale ... and they had this bitchen chair that I was looking at ... and someone bought it for 5 bucks right before Kris sat down on it ... such a bummer ... it was really cool ... and shit for 5 bucks ... how could you not ... Kris and I need to start hitting the estate sales ... in Kansas we got some killer stuff ... I had 2 of the best dressers from an estate sale ... too bad I had to leave them behind when I moved out to Cali ...  well I have a ton of work I should be doing today ... but I am a little burnt ... and waiting for a whole shipment of cds to come in that I need to catalog ... everyone had plans to go away for the weekend at work ... and I assured them I would take care of everything ... so at any moment I could be flooded with work ... as soon as the FedEx guy gets here ... hahahaaa ... although I know I will take a break tonight from 8:30 to 9:00 PM cause I gotta watch that show "Who wants to be a millionaire?" ... it rocks ... it is such a great show ... I hope it doesn't just run for the 13 days ... I hope they make it a nightly show ... it is the first time in a long time that I have been so excited for the contestant ... and able to answer the questions myself ... some nights I get them all some I don't get any ... but the fact that they are never really difficult they just cover a broad range of topics makes it so fun ... cause anyone has a chance ... I think my mom should try out for it ... she would be so great on this show ... I know she knows all these answers ...  well I guess it is back to work for me ... ahhhh fun fun ... I love setting my own schedule I just hate how I feel obligated to always be working ... not forever ... just gotta remember that ... {smile}
