Walkin' on sunshine
Life is good. I bought a computer program for $15 at Best Buy that basically helps you design and furnish your dream home. It's amazingly great and I've been doing nothing but that when I get home for the last 3 days, much to the detriment of the house cleaning. :-(
I'm nearly finished, although this is kind of a trial run. Once I finish I'll start over and make it better. I've been wanting a program like this for soooo long but they were always like 40 bucks and I never had the cash. My dream is to be an interior designer so programs like this are great helping tools.

We got new carpet in my work office this Saturday. We spent the better part of 6 hours bringing all of the furniture back in, after moving it all out on Thursday and Friday. About 2 hours were spent trying re-connect the cluster-fuck of wires it took to have everyone's computer and printers up and running. I took pictures of it just so people could see how insane it was. As soon as I get them scanned I'll post the link.
We re-arranged everything because the original furniture configuration was just left over from the previous staff. The office is still tiny, and old, and has shit brown paneling on half of the walls, but at least it's coming along nicely and there's no more 15 year old blue carpet. Every day we're a little more proud to actually come to work in the place.

Casey was really sweet this morning. We both listen to "Kidd Kraddick in the Morning" on the radio just about every morning. It's pretty hilarious, but there's a guy on there that I really don't like. His name is "Big Al Mack" and he's supposed to be this "lady's man" kind of guy, kind of dumb, sort of sweet and rather funny. I don't mind his personality, but on the air they talk about their relationships and whenever they get to his it's like a fricking train wreck! I mean, he's completely inept at showing a woman a good time and he's excessively self-centered. They talk to the girlfriends he has on the air and I feel sorry for the poor women.
Anyway, to make a longer story long. This morning the guys on the show were stating that "Men are hunters. Most men enjoy the hunt and then when they catch the prey they're not interested anymore. They're usually looking for new prey, be it work, or a hobby, or a project, they have to find something else to occupy the place where the hunt used to be instead of concentrating on the prey." They were of course just trying to defend this low-life guy and his actions. I didn't think anything of it until Casey got home from work shortly afterwards. He gave me a really big, amazing, sweet hug and said "I'm not like most men." I told him I know baby, you're DEFINITELY not like most men." We both laughed and then I went off to work. I just thought it was really sweet. I just wanted to say that after all of my ranting about the previous holidays. Casey just has an amazingly odd habit of making me feel special every other day of the year EXCEPT for the days he's supposed to make me feel special. :-D Oh well, I know that's more than most women get so I'm still very happily married.

I've spent the last week or so looking for fabric for my Renaissance Festival costume and I think I found the perfect one. I'm trying to get Casey to paint a picture on the front of my dress. I think it'll be really beautiful. If he doesn't do it I might try my hand at it. I'll post pictures when the dress is finished....some time next year.
