Monday was a very weird day. It started off not too bad with some episodes of Stargate and then Ryan received a call that one his troops has fucked up so he jumped in the shower and ran to base after being screamed on the phone. Of course, it wasn’t his troop. It was someone else with the same name who is now his troop and Ryan basically wasted a trip. Bah!

We spent the day doing a little shopping, including brand new bras for me, and grabbed dinner at the mall and ended up with a trip to Wal-mart for some necessities. We returned to a hot apartment as our electricity had partially shut off while we were gone and I hopped on the phone with the answering service who told us to check the breaker box, which we did, and flip the switches for the living room (where the electricity had been off) which we couldn’t find. OF course, after I hung up Ryan found the switch and I had to call them back to say never mind.

If only it ended there. I went to turn on my computer to find that it didn’t work and assumed it was the power supply because I’ve had the same problem before. Unfortunately it was too late to call anyone so I waited until yesterday where I made like 4 calls to Best Buy before someone answered and gave me a ridiculous price. We also talked to someone else who quoted a better rate but wouldn’t have been able to do it the same day so we went a little out of our way to a great shop that was sort of hidden away and were greeted by an extremely helpful chap who even gave us some free service. We took the time to browse their shop as well which had a variety of used and new computers and accessories for some damned good prices so Ryan is now considering getting a laptop from there.

Although it all turned out okay, it was a harrowing experience. I was very worried of having additional damage done to the computer so I’m very grateful that it wasn’t. Of course, I am not impressed with our electricity which has already gone out twice since we moved in. Ick.

Then other day Ryan and I were at Target and we saw a silver limousine in the lot parked across several spots which I don’t think were legal spots to begin with. Of course, as law abiding citizens we were affronted. LOL I also thought that the colour was a bit horrendous but I guess that’s not my choice, either.

We were discussing who would bring their limo to Target and he wondered why a rich person would even shop at Target but I had another train of thought. While limos aren’t generally the type of ride “Joe Six Pack” usually sports, he may just rent it out for a special occasion. I know homecoming and prom are big limo events but it’s the wrong timing for that so perhaps it was a wedding? That seems a bit more reasonable to me. But, who knows, maybe Donald Trump loves Target? d=

I’ve only been in a limo once when I was in middle school. We were selling magazines and I sold enough to get a limo ride and pizza for lunch. Haha! I believe it was a typical white limo, nothing like an Escalade limo New York or anything. It was pretty cool but I hope to add at least one more limo ride to my life before I die, and hopefully for a much cooler reason.

Have you ever been in a limo?

Just a little update. I know it’s been a while. I started reading Eragon as an illegal e-book a while ago. I figured it looked interesting and the movie looks decent, too, so it was a place to start.

While browsing through gobs and gobs of illegal e-books I took the time to download quite a few more, including much of the Narnia series. I remember reading The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe in elementary school but I’m not entirely sure we finished it. As it is a classic, I figure it doesn’t hurt to read.

We went to look for furry rodent type things at the petshop at the mall off base but they didn’t have anything so I might just find an old warehouse and steal a rat. Kidding, about that but I was a little disappointed.

We did, however, get this cute Nightmare Before Christmas clock. It’s an analog clock with Jack and Sally figures “behind” it and there legs move like a pendulum, or they would if I knew how to make them work. -l- I think I’ll make Rian take a picture so that I can show the world.

We’re slowly adding domestic type things to the place. I think that after I start working, I’ll start adding “womanly” decorative touches as the place is pretty bare as it is. That’s okay for now but, in the long run, I’ll want to spruce it up.

The weather has been rather crappy lately. It’s either drizzling rain or blowing insanely and while I don’t much mind the rain, when I hear the wind outside it makes it feel like the world is extremely desolate and lonely and makes my mood a little more blah than it otherwise might be.

I’ve been posting at forums more as of late so why don’t you waste some time with me, too? At all of these I go as anaesthetic.

Although I’m sure you already know that and if you just so happen to want to reward me for how much I rock(or just want to see some of the things which interest me), head on over to my wishlists, the links to which are located here.

I believe that I have accomplished everything I intended to do over my days off, except go driving. However, My Christmas shopping is done (mostly),

the presents are wrapped,

my room is a bit cleaner and I put together the book shelf.

I took pictures of most of these things and I’ll upload them to the computer for your viewing pleasure at a later date, probably tonight. It’s about time these entries had a little more than just text. I know how daunting it can be to see pages upon pages of only text so I’m going to put forth some effort in adding other things here, too.

Also, I’ll have the time to upload some more picture of Samantha, which I’m sure you’ll all love.
