I'm learning a lot at my new job. For example, today I figured out the solution to the previous worry about gum in the trash can. Not only have I moved it out of the way, today I went the extra step and picked the gum up with a tissue, and threw that away instead. It wasn't stuck too badly, and now I can stop worrying about it. Not that I'm saying I have too much time on my hands or anything, or that I'm a complete freak at worrying. Just that I'm crazy, that's all. But at least now I'm that crazy girl who doesn't obsess over dirty trash bins.
In other, less stupid, news: we're now the proud owners of a sewing machine. It could have been taken as insulting, actually--M proudly showed me his first hand-sewn seam, and I brightly suggested that we go buy him a machine. I don't know why the man puts up with me. (Maybe because I buy him sewing machines, at that.) I do wish that I had grabbed the clearance machine at WalMart the other day.. it was $37 (half off the regular clearance price) but someone else grabbed it before I made up my mind. Figures that the quilting boy would get into his thing just after I passed up buying a cheap machine. Oh, well. I want to make curtains or something anyway, and I had already decided that I might ask for one for Christmas. He's made much better progress post-purchase than he did before. I'm pretty excited to see what he comes up with.
Did I mention that the storage cabinet crisis has been solved? We went with the ones that M liked--I figured that we might as well go with the ones that at least one of us really liked, instead of looking around at the remaining choices that neither of us were all that crazy about. I believe it's going to look pretty good, though.. I'm very pleasantly surprised. I know that we haven't gotten pictures of the house posted at all yet, and I'm terribly sorry about that. As soon as we get the last mess cleaned up, we'll do the pictures thing. Really. (Stop looking so disbelieving, Kirsty, I mean it!)
Tonight has been very busy and productive and I really feel like I've gotten my money's worth out of the evening, without feeling like I didn't have any time for myself. That's good.. I usually feel rather like I just got home when it's time for bed, but tonight, I'm not resenting the idea of going there quite so much. You know what the difference is, I bet? I didn't cook tonight.. we went out and had a sandwich--therefore, I should give up cooking and I'll be a happier person. Not that the fact that tomorrow is Friday is affecting my mood any. Nope, couldn't be that. Also it's probably not that I got enough sleep for the past two nights, or that I'm not feeling sick like I did yesterday. It's all about the cooking.
I'm not allowed to post about so-called crazy friends who call from WalMart at 10 pm to ask me about string, but you know I want to. ;)
