So I get that no one cares anymore, but I'm bored stiff.
I got the picture of my sponsored child. His name is Zola and he's 7 years old. He lives in a country called East Timor, which didn't even become a nation until 1999. It's very interesting. They speak a language called Tetun there. I bought a phrasebook so that I might be able to communicate with Zola in a language he understands, instead of my letters having to be translated.
Finally got word from unemployment that my claim is denied. Fuckers. Great Lakes Medical Supply can go to hell. I'm done with them. Washing my hands of the whole business because I'm just sick of it.
Shawn and I got our tax return back finally. Bought a new couch today. It's awesome. Red microfiber. It's like sitting on a scuplture made of pillows...so nice.
Oh yeah, and I bought The Sims 2 finally. Went to install it on my Mac only to find out that 1) my operating system was too outdated to run it, and 2) it's a DVD-ROM game, and my Mac lacks a DVD-ROM drive. Ebay worked wonders in fixing those problems though. I just bought a new DVD-ROM drive to install myself and also purchased the newest version of the OSX software - Tiger. Looking forward to getting the drive in the mail...I already have the software.
I've been reading a lot lately. Since February 1st, I've finished 4 books...lol. I'm rather ashamed to admit that I read Paris Hilton's book. It sucked. My advice: only pick up this book if you want to try to be just like Paris or want to "admire" the pictures (there are TONS of them).
That's about it, I think...OH YEAH! Gabriel finally got his top front teeth! He's adorable.
That's all.
Much love,
Ashlie Marie
