Tuesday afternoon

I may have found us a car! A '95 gold Mazda 626, $2500! It looks nice, although it's somewhat dirty on the inside. But still! That's the big news of the day. The guy is a friend of my dad's, hence the price, and he's also mentioned possible other cars. So. We'll see how that goes. If it's still there on Friday (with my luck, it won't be) we'll go together to look at it and possibly drive it. Zoom zoom zoom.

My creativity is low again. I have such spells with that. It worries me.

I'm kinda watching Trading Spaces, and I would just like to say that I can't stand that one designer guy Doug. He's such a jerk. He doesn't care in the slightest if the room suits the owners. Made up example: "Oh! This is the kids playroom! Let's make the floors brown concrete, the walls and ceiling baby-poop yellow, have lots of choking hazard buttons on all the available couches and pillows and rugs, a nice flimsy statue in the corner that they can tip over and absolutely nothing FUN in the whole room! Yeah! That'd look cool!" "But.. Doug.. this won't be useful for the family." "What? You don't agree with my genius? THEY think they're the designers now?!" And.. how about a real example? He just turned this family's living room into a home theater, complete with raised aisles and aisle lights and brown fabric curtains on the walls. It's hideous. The absolute worst thing I've ever seen on that show. Or any other, at that.

Magnus called the body shop where the Cavalier has been resting, and apparently they haven't even heard from the insurance company. They were supposed to send someone out on Friday. I don't want this to go on for ages. It wasn't our fault, and we need to buy a new vehicle now. Let's get moving with this, people.

Mother's Day is Sunday. There's really not a chance that I'm going to get the cross-stitch project done. *sigh* I'm still working on it though! The question is whether or not to leave her at "I know what it is but I can't find it yet, but soon!" or to give her something else and get the thingie done later. But then, should I give it to her when it's done or wait until Christmas or her birthday in January? Decisions, decisions.

I'm getting somewhat hungry. Wonder what I should have for dinner?

Tuesday night

I've been working on pictures tonight. Putting them in the new album that's been sitting on my desk for ages without being worked on. I made some definite progress, then I put the sorted photos in envelopes and put it back in the drawer after a while. I suppose I'll never work on it again now.

I had grilled cheese for dinner, and my hubby has his usual chicken sandwiches. I cleaned up the computer room somewhat and went through a ton of papers and filed receipts and all that. My desk is finally almost completely clean (needs dusted, and a couple of small details straightened) and it's been quite some time since it's been that way. Trying to get the room cleaned up because that often has a good deal to do with how productive I can be. Tomorrow, I'll try to finish up in here. Except for that pile of junk Magnus has in the corner by his desk. I'm not touching that. :)

Hmm. I could either stay here and write more about an uneventful evening, or.. I could go to bed with my baby. So. G'night!
