Major rambling.

Argh. Here I am, blissfully enjoying my day off, when what happens? You guessed it! Our connection dies! *sigh* It's not that I'm obsessed, necessarily, with having internet access except.. well, I am. We're paying twice the price of dialup and this month, we've had half the service and a quarter of the reliability. If I want to spend the entire morning looking at digital cameras at JCPenny (which is what I was doing, or actually, reading reviews elsewhere of the ones they have) then that's my business, and Adelphia doesn't need to interject an opinion, darnit. Maybe I'll call and check on DSL.. just a little nervous about change. :)

I also haven't yet heard from Rae. She tends to be forgetful about calling me.. I suppose I'll have to call her if she hasn't called in another half hour or so. I don't like calling people at work. Oh! My cellphone seems lately to be headed downhill. It's been behaving strangely lately. I've had it for quite some time, and I'm way out of contract, so perhaps it's time for me to get a new fun happening phone! I find it kinda amusing that I have all these communication devices and yet I rather hate people. *giggle*

I have this habit of putting my hair back in a scrunchie. (This is only moderately successful now, given the length of my hair, but I still do it.) I especially do this in the evenings, as I'm sick of it all in my face by then. Every once in a while, I have a hard time finding one in the bathroom drawer, so today I made a run through the house looking for scrunchies. I found eight in the bedroom and one in the livingroom and at least two in the computer room. (I say at least because frankly, the mess in this room terrifies me.) I guess I should make a greater effort to put things away instead of leaving them where I drop them. I believe someone said I'm supposed to be a responsible adult by now and all.

This Saturday we have a picnic to go to, hosted by the Scandinavian Heritage club thing in Lexington. One Saturday in the near future, but not next Saturday, we're going to take my cousin Angie to Cincinnati to Jungle Jim's. She's crazy about grocery stores, and this one is pretty spectacular. And even better, she's leaving her kids with her sister. And by golly, I wanna go to Kentucky Kingdom (Six Flags amusement park) this summer. We never got around to it last year, but Magnus and I slipped off year before last when we went so we didn't have to go with a huge group, and we had soo much fun. Ridiculous amounts of fun. I'd never been to an amusement park without a bunch of people along, actually, and I must say that the experience was ever so much nicer. We were in Louisville for an INS event, if I recall correctly, and all the hotels in town were full because of some big car convention, and we ended up staying in La Grange and finding out that our car was sick, so we were really trying to avoid driving it as much as possible, which made things awkward. That's when I got into cross-stitch. We spent an evening in a hotel with me doing cross-stitch and Magnus working a puzzle and making jokes about how old we were. It was such a nice trip. He took a picture of me that evening, freshly-showered and tired, sitting on the bed with a horrific sunburn. Other than the sunburn, it was a pretty good picture. I practiced my Photoshop skills on it the other day and removed the sunburn. That was fun. I didn't save it, though.. didn't do it perfectly or anything and couldn't think of anything to do with the picture. It wasn't THAT great or anything. I'm the least photogenic person in the world. Even Magnus admits it, and he tends to think everything about me is wonderful. He's so weird.

That reminds me, actually, that I did a brief stint into quickie-paper-scrapbooking a few years ago. It was a cute thing for Magnus. During the time we were apart, we sent quite a few sentimental project things to each other. Maybe I'll write more about those some other time, when I haven't written pages already. Stupid internet connection. Anyway, I just made a little binder with events from my life, with a section for adding to it parts from his life and our life together. This, naturally, didn't happen, and I've barely looked through it since. Might be worth getting out and perhaps using pictures or ideas from. It was one of those projects that I meant to be bigger than it turned out to be, due to time and procrastination restraints.

Still no connection, but I do have a confirmed lunch date at 1 now. I guess I should stop writing.. this is turning into a novel. Not that I can post it or anything. *whine* Eh, well, still better than being at work. :)
