323 - randomness

So I'm getting used to the Mac Book. Its slow going but I'm getting to learn my way around it. It mostly sits there pretty in white. I figured black was slimming but the white one would be classier. I just now need a case to bring it around with me. That has yet to happen. Bringing it with me. But I will. One day. When I know how to use it and when I know Ill be able to get the Internet wherever I am.

The LegMatic is a great 13 minute workout that hurts in the best way possible. No pain no gain when working out right? I don't know if Ive shared this but I cancelled my membership to the gym and I am continuing my work out at home. Not as religiously as I should but as usual its a work in progress.

Ive also gotten a couple of new DVDs to use for working out. It will all come together. I will become the girl in my head.

There are mirrors and artwork that still have to be put up which I haven't done yet. The things that have gone up haven't been put up by yours truly. They have been put up by my brother and my sisters boyfriend. February will mark my one year anniversary in this apartment and I look around and there are still things in boxes in the storage room, I have an empty bedroom and there are things that still have to find a home and be installed.

There are different time zones in my apartment. My room and the living room have clocks that don't keep the same time. The oven clock and microwave aren't set for the same time. Actually now that I think about it, even my cell phones don't have the right time.

I use that to trick myself. Get to work or anywhere on time. I'm not a chronic latecomer. I'm usually early for things and I credit it to the screwed up way all my clocks are ahead. Even when I think its 20 minutes ahead I find out I'm still early by 15 minutes.

Its funny but I think I should set the clocks and phones to the right time and see how that works for me. If it doesn't work out then I can always move them all ahead by odd times. Soon the time will come.

My plants are doing well. Really well. I have roses on my dining room table every week. They are pretty in the vase they are in. I have to get a CD case for all the old Cd's I have I don't listen to. I think I only have about 50 Cd's. Ill go through them all and toss out the ones that I'm not a fan of. Don't ask how they ended up there. Ill send them to Sally Ann as well

Ill have to get another Rubbermaid container thingy for DVDs that Ive accumulate. Not having cable TV makes me a DVD fan. Watch it at my leisure.

The Big Dog seems happier and she doesn't seem so down. I think the weather might have been part of the problem. It affects everyone even the pets. The snow here has melted with the rain that came down. Its now getting back to cold wintery weather. I almost think its a tease to have had a mini break from the cold. I'm undecided about having a warm spell in the middle of winter.

Oh and to clarify the T-shirts that D brought over. We've roll them up diagonally and tied knots at both ends and that becomes a toy for The Big Dog.

A coworker was meeting someone near my apartment building and I offered to drive her since were off work at the same time, she doesn't drive but takes the bus. I asked her if she wanted to meet The Big Dog as she likes dogs and has four of her own. Yes that's right four of them... and she wants more. I told her to be careful as she will soon be known as the crazy dog lady.

I gave her a tour of my apartment after she played with The Big Dog for a while and she was really surprised about how gentle The Big Dog was for her breed. After a little while I had to take The Big Dog for her walk and mentioned that we could walk her to where she needed to go as that it was really on the way.

There was a moment where I felt weird having her at my place. Why? You ask? Well it didn't dawn on me to recall this at the time I was offering her a ride or to come over to my place. She told me about her dream. Her dream had her and I together at her place for some drinks and then in bed... together. She didn't elaborate on anything else but that. Interesting I say.

My sister and I left notes on post it notes at my Dads place. We put them in places we knew he would eventually go to and hopefully find. We also wrote him lengthy letters. I don't remember much about what I write but I remember crying while I write it. He called to tell me he cried while he was reading it. Cheesy I know. But I don't mind it.

He still calls every other day to let us know that he found another post it. It makes us all laugh. My sister and I used his digital camera to take silly pictures of us around the apartment. Were not sure if he has seen them yet. I'm still waiting to see pictures that were taken while we were there. Other than those on my cell phone of course. My sister and I have been meaning to get together again so we can trade things. She needs her boots and I need my memory stick. Pictures to come should I figure out how to do it.

I haven't talked to my brother in a while and I think I might have said something to him that wasn't so nice. Ill have to apologize to make nice. I'm not sure if its the reason for why I think hes been avoiding coming over but I think it is.

Remember the guy who lost my cell number and found me by calling company after company in the phone book looking for me? Well he called me on my cell last night asking me how I've been. He also asked if we could get together. I wasn't sure and didn't feel it at the moment so I told him that I wasn't able to but told him to keep in touch for sure.
