just a few things ...

Okay, so things are coming together in the condo. My step-mom bought me a coffee table and matching side tables. I bought myself a few more French things to accent what I already have. I'll be getting a bedroom set from Brandi and Bill next month, so my guestroom will need some head-scratching rearranging. I only have my desk, bookshelf, secretary desk, printer cart (AKA microwave cart), and a tiered end table... I'm a little scared to do so, but I think I need to move my secretary desk into my bedroom. And that mo is heavy! A couple things I would really like to get squared away are 1) the funky smell in my bedroom :( and 2) the bugs! The previous owner has little ant thingies in some places, so maybe I should get some fogger or something. UGh. I hate bugs.

I was really unhappy when I got an email from verizon saying that my bill was $150. Yowza. But I looked at my usage, and with all the condo biz, etc, I was making way more peak calls than usual. I haven't had a big bill like that in YEARS. Now that I have the digital voice (unlimited local and long distance), that shouldn't happen ever again. Let's face it, money's a worry for EVERYONE nowadays, and the fact that contracts are now in mediation kinda freaks me out. I know we'll get paid, I just wish I could budget for September already!

Got the security deposit back from Lincolnshire West today and deposited that bad boy right away so that I could send Shawna her portion. I was really stoked to get that because, hey, wow, pay some credit card debt down... But then I looked at my budget and realized that most of it will have to go towards house payments. I can't wait until I get a PAYCHECK. Jeez, lol!

So on a happier, more social note, Brandi's showing! She's got her little bulge of a baby. She and Bill will know if it's a boy or a girl next month, and Mandi, Heather, and I are getting some plans put together for her shower. I think once this baby's grown out of it, I'll never want to see another CareBear as long as I live.


AND -- Project Runway is BACK! Get excited!
