+ Vonage is amazing. Instead of paying for phone service at the new place, I signed up for Vonage. Unlimited local and long distance (even to landlines in the UK, Ireland, Italy, and France!). Also call waiting, call forwarding, caller ID, voicemail to my e-mail (which then goes to my Blackberry), and a load of other things. Fun, fun. And it was a snap to set up.
+ I splurged on a beautiful comforter set, organic cotton sheets, and Egyptian cotton sheets for the bed. My bedroom is still in complete disarray. The mattress is actually still in plastic and leaning against the wall, and the carpet needs to be cleaned. It doesn't look dirty, but I refuse to use it unless it has been cleaned after the previous tenants.
+ My grandmother was scandalized by the fellow who was beside us at the stoplight yesterday. He was listening to Jeremih's (yes, I spelled that right) "Birthday Sex". The uncensored version, not the Clear Channel radio edit. You know the drill; it's so bad, it's good. Plus, I totally didn't get any semblance of birthday sex this year, so I'm living vicariously through the song.

+ Because I spent so much money on the linens for the bed, I went to Payless for shoes. I got brown, peep-toe wedges. Yay for wedges.
+ I weeded out a couple boxes of books to sell. Instead of going to a used bookstore, I decided to try out my luck on Half.com. I listed them all on there yesterday evening and this morning. It was surprisingly easy, and I've already sold six of them.
+ My new neighbor is so very nice. Her name is Linda, and she is married with a teenage daughter. She has health problems with the sun, so she doesn't work. She came over and knocked on my door today to give me some sort of special bathroom sanitizer that is supposed to work wonders.
+ After posting "Birthday Sex", I feel obligated to raise the IQ and class of this post by balancing things out with Mos Def. Who is so freakin' attractive, by the way.

+ Did you know that transmission fluid needs to be added to your car every so often? I've been driving for years and I had no idea. Apparently, if you don't have adequate amounts your car will start jerking like mine did. You learn something every day.
