looking for a few things
Category: ramble

Where should I go to look for inexpensive book shelves, entertainment stand, dresser, lamps, side tables and other stuff of that nature? I don't know what exactly I need or what I am looking for, but I don't want to run all around trying to figure it out.

I figured some second hand stores would be good-- just don't know where the good ones are anymore, etc.

I am also looking for a rocking chair or two-- the one I have now sucks. I love to rock.

suggestions?

I think I have a headache. Or something tugging at my forehead. blah.

Its almost Friday, yay..

yet sooo much going on, and a few things up in the air. Its a waiting game now. I am supposed to have a break from work.. I need a couple of days to just relax. I am not making sense, no wonder my forehead feels knotted.

When does Shakespeare in the park end? I still need to see Twelfth Night.

and I still need to do the rest of my laundry* and check my mail. Apparently I havent checked my mail in some time, as the post office is holding it hostage. A little card from them told me this. Which is kind of funny since it is not dated and apparently I havent been around to check my mail and yet they stick it in my mailbox.

I'll go pick it all up tomorrow after work.

yawn

its almost done :)

Good night, sleep well, be safe and...... Happy Friday!!

I agree with (e:Jenks) on Ikea. Ikea rocks. But if you don't feel like heading into Canada or down to Pitsburg (i think that's the closest one in the US.. sad, we need an Ikea to put Buffalo on the map!!), there's always Target. We've gotten some nice stuff there. :O)

Ikea!!

Definitely go to the As-Is Store at the Salvation Army. It's on Military Rd. and it's jam-packed with furniture and loads of other crap.

However...it's only open on Thursday, Friday and Saturday from like 10-4 I think.

.....and, if you are at all squeamish about smells, and dirt.....and/or digging through other people's stuff than you may want to stick to Amvets....

Good Luck!

Category: reflection

This week has indeed been good and interesting. (e:theecarey,236)

My goodness, things are changing up. I like the next step, or rather, leap in my life. fascinating.

It is all unfolding in the best way possible. I am full of anticipation..

and gratitude.

nuns rubbin' my buns
Category: silliness

where are my spoons?

I know it is crazy, but damn, I used to have spoons-- so many that they took up half the drawer-- and now I can't seem to find them. hmm. Who stole my spoons!?!? Its so bizarre! :)

I attempted to have cheerios for dinner. Silly me to think that i would have milk in my fridge that isn't a month old (July 21- close enough!). When I am super busy/not home I don't pay attention to the changing composition of the items in my fridge. bad bad bad.

So no cheerios for me. Not that it mattered, couldn't find a spoon anyway. ha!

I found a garden burger stashed away in the freezer. That worked.

This girl is going to bed early tonight. ok, so I say that every night- but I am half asleep as I write this, so it isn't much longer before I crash. Got a little more beat up at work today than I care for lately. My upper arm aches from the constant blows. I am in need of a massage. yup. I always say that, but then I never make an appointment for one. I totally want and need to. I hear that there is a local nun who can do the job?!?! hahahaha

I am looking for a spooky movie to go see or rent. Any suggestions?

theecarey - 08/16/06 20:40
thanks (e:metalpeter) and (e:mrmike) for your suggestions.I havent gone to the theater in awhile, so maybe I will try and do that.

If I rent a movie, there must be someone with me when I watch it. I dont do spooky by myself very well; I get too creeped out :)

metalpeter - 08/15/06 19:51
My only suggestion about the spoons that maybe they have been lost to the cats, or maybe they are with the disapearing socks. There is the off chance that the cats turned them into spiders so they would have something to eat. I know those are goofy wacky and not really possible but where else would they go.

Onto to the movies not sure really what kind of spookey or horror movies you like. But if you like the other Fianl Destination movies you might like the newest one (never saw it) I guess there is a feature where you pick some of the actions of the characters, I don't know if that then effects the story line of the movie or not. If you like movies like the grudge Maybe ask they have the Japanase horor movie it is based on. I havn't seen any in a long time so I don't really any good suggestions. If you are a fan of the Srceem Movies there is a story line that there adventures are turned into a movie called stab. I'm not sure if you can find that but I do know there is a Movie called Final Stab. I doubt I helped much.

A nun who does massages is funny. I wonder if any one has ever asked if she gives Happy Endings or if that is just for the Preists, I'm kidding of course but it still would be funny to ask if someone figures they are going to hell anyways. But maybe she has a good sense of Humor.

The new one from M. Night Shamalama ding dong is out or coming out - The Lady in the Water is the title I think. It stars Paul Giamatti and a bunch of other wet people - saw a coming attraction the other day

Plane, Train or Automobile?
Category: quickies satisfy

I think I shall go to NYC by train.

So, (e:pyrcedgrrl) go ahead and buy those tickets. I scored us a place to stay: an art studio in Greenich Village. I am making arrangments to get keys to the place. woo hoo!

I'm tired; time for sleep. It is always hard to get up early. I wonder if I would like a job that starts later? hmm...

I hate to see the weekend end; it went so quickly; but I have a feeling this week will be very good and interesting..

the count down continues:

< 2 weeks..

Night, peeps

metalpeter - 08/14/06 18:14
I hope you two have a great time I'm sure you will, and I'm guessing the train is the most interesting way to go. In terms of the job I have thought that a few times myself. But after I thought about it if it started later then I would get home later and your schedulle would change but as long as you still do all the same stuff then you would still wind up getting the same amount of sleep.

pyrcedgrrl - 08/14/06 01:15
Oh yeah!!!! I've got the trip saved- not purchased yet. Also, if anyone needs it, I have a code to take 50% off tickets on Amtrak. I'm not sure where they're good for exactly, but they definitely work between here and NYC. :D

creatures of the night
Category: 24

yes, I have a picture of the friend that Paul and I picked up from Home Depot last night. (e:paul,4609) :

The praying mantis is a carnivorous insect ...Praying mantises eat insects and other invertebrates such as other mantises, beetles, butterflies, spiders, crickets, grasshoppers, and even spiders. The praying mantises also eat vertebrates such as small tree frogs, lizards, mice and hummingbirds. Praying mantids can resemble flowers and can catch small, unknowing hummingbirds. Praying mantids also eat other nesting birds.

~ taken from Insecta Inspecta World

We found Manty hanging out at the Self Check lane.

Manty in the City- getting ready to go for a car ride back to 24

He was so cool sitting on a box in the backseat, looking around the car, looking out the window, checking us out.

The next creature to introduce itself to everyone at 24:

shiver* (I just wasn't as delighted as (e:leetee) !!)

WHAT IS THAT?!

despite my fear, I go in for a much closer look.

so yeh, the Mansion is huge (of course) and beautiful. (e:matthew) is a wonderful tour guide. My senses were over stimulated and all I could do for the first hour or so is walk around (get lost) oohing and ahhhing everything. It is amazing. I am in love.

I have to clean my own apartment today-- I'd much rather be cleaning the Mansion, haha. Next time I come over, I will bring q-tips to get into the wood detail, walkie-talkies (are you yelling for (e:terry) or (e:theecarey) ??!! haha) and a mask to keep from catching another Windex buzz; the windows are enormous!

jenks - 08/12/06 19:32
Jesus... I'd heard the females bite the males' heads off after mating, but how fucking scary is it if that BUG can eat a BIRD???

paul - 08/12/06 13:32
The mantis in the city pic is awesome. I love the colors.
