Life or Something like it
Sep. 27th, 2007 12:51 pmLarry comes home tonight. Yay! I stayed home this week instead of sleeping at Mama's house. It went okay, better than expected. I actually did sleep some with the help of SG-1 as my companion.
Been a busy week with lots of errands and such. I finally got most of my paperwork caught up and cleaned out my bathroom vanity so my brother-in-law can get under the sink to install some new faucets and drain thingies too. I had a huge tub of trash, a trash bag too, and a box for Goodwill plus my mom took some of the stuff home with her. I think I had lotions and such as old as I am!
We're going to paint the bathrooms a nice pale yellow and put new faucets and hardware too. I also am adding some nice lighthouse prints I bought a long time ago. After that, we will work our way around the house, painting and getting new curtains and such. Don't have money right now for floors or major renovations so these will have to do.
I went back to my painting class yesterday. I skipped last year, just didn't feel in the mood for it but I decided to go this year. I found that several of my friends were no longer there, age and illness making some of them unable to paint any longer. I haven't painted in quite awhile and it felt good to hold a brush. I also tend to be a bit of a recluse if left to my own so getting out to do something other than go to Wal-mart for groceries is a good thing.
I signed up for both the Slashy Santa and the het Stocking Stuffer Swap. I look forward to both. I suppose I should get myself back into writing more too. I still have those challenge comms I've joined to do. Maybe I need to set myself a hard and fast goal on those.
I've been enjoying new season TV this week. Bones, NCIS, Criminal Minds(though I'm not sure how good it could be without Mandy Patinkin). There's a vampire hero-ish type thing on CBS this Friday and SGA premieres in Sci-Fi too so finally I have something to watch besides Law and Order reruns. I stopped watching TV for years and actually am glad to sit down and do so now and again these days.
Been reading some too. I used to read 2-3 books a week and the last few years, it has fallen off to nearly none. My eyes bother me sometimes and I simply can't read small print and I was spending more time online than anything else but these last few weeks, I've been reading more and enjoying it. I find I am hooked on humorous vampire or paranormal romances. If you've got recs, I'd be delighted.
Well, it's soon off to get a haircut, dump some more trash and pick up some meat for spaghetti for the hubby this weekend.
