Today I went to do laundry and some woman has 6 out of the 8 washers full. EXCUSE ME? To make matter worse, she had them in random machines so I had to open them all to find which ones were empty and some of them only have a handful of items in them. So I put my one load in, go back for another..
Then when I go to put everything in the dryers, they're ALL taken. Now, if I was using 2 and she was using 6 that means she used all the dryers! Seriously, bitch! Other people need to fucking dryers.
So I had to leave my wet laundry in the basket and came back to put up some shelves and clean but.. there were stupid people sitting all over the front steps. Move people. You're in my effing way.
PS, I'll see everyone tomorrow!

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year
I cannot believe on Monday I'll be in Wausau. I get to see my friends and family, of course, and mom's new house and new SUV. I'll probably be shown off to my sister's teachers, get some bourbon chicken and go out (as long as someone pays my way. Hehe) I can't wait (except for the being apart from Ryan and coming home after he is already gone part).

Yesterday seemed like a good day. We headed to a shopping center and hit up Pier 1, Lowe's, Linens and Things and Barnes and Noble. We finally purchased a mirror I had been wanting for the living room and happened to find a modular shelving set at linens and things which was on sale because they're going out of business. We both added some books to our collections and we finally got brackets to help us hang our mantel shelf, which I did around 3:45 this morning. LOL It actually turned out really nice.
On the other hand, the modular shelving did not work nearly as well as I would have liked and I wound up putting a half dozen useless holes in the wall because the holes in the shelves are so small and particular. Even using the paper templates which came with it resulted in problems and I wound up wasting half of the anchors which came with. Not to mention that trying to get the shelves on the damn wall made a bunch of black marks (because the shelves are black). I finally "finished" even though the shelves are not flush to the wall, level with eachother and possible not even usable. I just decided to give up. Ugh.

Well, our AC is back. Called the office and maintenance came over a few hours later. As it turns out, someone sort of unplugged it outside. I mean, how the hell does that happen?
Aside from that, I have been blogging a lot. Although I haven't signed up for National Blog Posting Month, I have posted every day this month except once. Of course, this is across all of my blogs (I am counting 4 here). I guess I just must have a lot to say.

Man, I don't know what's going on. For the past few days, the AC has been really shitty. Yesterday was very humid as well. We replaced the filter today, sometihng which was badly need because the old one was pitch black and hadn't been changed in God knows how long, but it doesn't seem to have really helped. So tomorrow I get to call maintenance again. Ugh.
It would have been nice if they had even told us we need to change the filters every month, too.

A while ago I posted about how it's not easy being green and I still agree. However, there are some small things which can be done which are easy to add to your daily routine and a little goes a long way. What's more is, most of those little things are related to even bigger steps we can all take to support the environment.
In light of this, I added a new page of things you can do to live a greener lifestyle. And below is just a snippet.

Buy organic and locally grown foods to support your local economy and reduce the energy needed to transport goods.
Go one step further
Grow your own food. Whether you plant a tomato bush or 2 or start a whole garden, you will require even less packaging and energy and might be able to make a profit, too!

There's a really cool contest going on over at An Island Review and you can win a gift basket containing the new (and yummy looking!) check mix bars! Of course, there's also a few other nifty items which go along with the turtle (flavour) theme like chocolate candles. Yum!

Oh Twitter, how I love thee
if at first I was not sure
it was because I did not know
exactly what you were
Dear twitter now that I know
I will never wonder
how are my blogging friends
or my pals from down under
The beauty of twitter, you see
is having the easiest way way
for those who mean the most to me
to keep me up to date
Now when I see new tweets
I think it's pretty sweet
Because my friends can easily say
what they're doing right now, today
Twitter, my friend I hope you forget
and forgive the sin I did commit
Without you, my mind would be stewing
not knowing "What are you doing?"

I cannot believe it is already November 4th and today is voting day. Of course, I do not get to go to the polls because a) I can't vote here but more importantly b) I already voted. I don't get any shiny stickers. Boohoo. Nevertheless, I hope the rest of you get out there and vote. A president doesn't need to win by a landslide, he just needs to win by 1 vote. Some of the most recent elections have been decided by just a few votes.
It's not just voting, though. I was so excited for Halloween and it came and passed so quickly. I wish it were a longer lasting holiday but the day after it's done, it's already a new month. I think Christmas has it better because there's still 6 days left in the month so the season does not have to end immediately.
My Halloweens the past few years have been pretty lame. For the past 2 years we bought candy only to have no trick or treaters. I really want to do something for the holiday and love dressing up but I don't want to be here. Rather, I want to be with my friends. Halloween is so exciting for me but lately' it's just come and gone so quietly that it's been depressing.
Meh
Don't worry, though. I'm already angry about Christmas decorations and music being present in stores.
