and only ten dollars! i didn't take a picture of my other ones because they just aren't as fun. also, i'm too cold to move from this chair next to my space heater, not that it's actually keeping me warm.
i started my class the other day, and i was so prepared i didn't even have a pen with me. awesome! at least it's a computer class and i didn't really need one. i haven't formed an opionion about it yet other than IT'S TOO EARLY IN THE MORNING. i will require gallons of coffee. gallons!
this is the time of year when a girl wants to just pick up and leave everythnig to start walking in georgia.
winter is back. yesterday we had a nasty ice storm, and lost our electricity at around 3pm. we have a buck (wood burning) stove and tons of camping gear so we were pretty much okay, just really bored. ours came back around noon today, but some parts of iowa they expect it'll be a few days before it's back. (like at mt. vernon, for example...yesterday stephanie called and said that they already cancelled classes for tomorrow.) and then this morning it snowed again!
edit: stephanie called this evening, they had power for two whole hours. it made me happy to talk to her!
a chest, a bracelet, an elephant and a vase. the chest (which is more of a cupboardy thing) was a clearance item at target and is an early birthday present. by seven months. the other things were from there too, minus the bracelet, which i found at the silver spider tuesday. also i got pink panther fold and mail and ate at pizza on dubuque. it makes me hungry just thinking about it.
hello friends! how are you? i am fine! i am soooooo tired. today i got up to go to work, and when i came home i went back to sleep for almost four hours, and i am still not quite awake.
yesterday i came home and i had gotten a letter from ags. they are asking me if i will be returning this summer, and i am sorely tempted. i have until april 1st to let them know. if i do go back, i can get an open return ticket and go hiking in alaska. do you know how awesome that would be? it would be awesomeness times infinity. seriously.
also, i registered for a class last week. i'm taking digital publication design or something like that. what is it actually called? i do not really know and frankly i do not think it is all that important. what is important is that now twice a week i will have to be at indian hills at 8am. and ceramics was full, so i guess i won't be taking that. ceramics NEVER WORKS OUT FOR ME!
and now my new hoodie and i are going to watch tv because it's saturday night and that's what i do.
love,
sarah
i tried to wear my purple tights today. they might work as thigh highs if it were possible to make them so, but they were definitely made for someone who is at least six inches shorter than i am. how sad, because i really like them.
and, despite my own edict of not purchasing things, i decided to go for the sweatshirt because even though i don't have room for even more clothes by god i will make room! i am still (verrrrry slowly) purging myself of things, and it would be going better except most of those things are books that i have yet to read. (also, shoes.) so i'm getting on that, sort of. i mean, i am still reading the like ten books i have been reading for the last three months, and i checked out three more from the library yesterday. and of course i decided to do my annual re-read of his dark materials after all, so there is quite a list there.
i really enjoyed doing absolutely nothing this weekend and am unhappy about having to go to work all day tomorrow. my only consolation is csi:miami, and that is no consolation at all because one of the team will be killed. i think i will require a mild tranquilizer after that show is over.
i have been drooling over a sweater at esprit since i got back from new york, and i finally decided to screw the non-sale status of it. i'm going to buy it. so i did. i might regret this as there is a slim possibility i won't be at the credit union much longer due to that last offage i had, but come on, it's purple. it'll match the tights i bought for $2 at urban outfitters.
i've also been considering returning i skirt i bought at target that i have yet to wear, so i can buy a sweatshirt instead (to replace my six-year-old champion sweatshirt), and practically everything from lush. but i will restrain myself.
also, while i still have several projects to finish, i've gotten some things done which is a huge relief. i love taking a sharpie to my "to do" list. the only thing is, i haven't done much reading lately. but it's february, and about time to do my annual re-read of his dark materials. too bad i feel guilty about it as i have books i've been working on for months now. ooh, it's a quandary!
and it's even worse when you think one of your favorite characters is dead, but then you see in the preview that maybe they aren't dead but you can't really be sure especially since you read an internet rumor that one of the main characters is fatally wounded. (deep breath!) ack!
i don't even think that new episodes of csi and csi:ny this week can alleviate my anticipation!
