I have a lovely weekend ahead of me, and an extra long next one next weekend, and I'm actually on schedule and a little ahead. Did aliens transverse my brain when I wasn't looking?
No, they couldn't have, because I finally figured out how to put non-DMRed MP3s on my Samsung T619 and use them as ringtones, tra la. Turns out you need to convert the MP3 to an M4a file, then change the suffix to .3gp, et voila -- the Samsung accepts it as a ringtone. I now have the theme from NCIS as my main ringtone, and the Soft Kitty Round sung by Penny and Sheldon as a ringtone for someone who will remain nameless for the nonce but is indeed a big soft kitty (no, not Lyndon -- he has the Austin Powers theme as his song). Hey, Jana, I think I'm gonna use the theme from BACK TO THE FUTURE as yours -- whee!
So, in addition to tracking Eddy and Charlie through a literary soiree (I felt like I should have been wearing crinolines, I swear) and jacking around with music files, I would also like to announce that we finally have grown-up bedroom furniture. Or as Lyndon said, "You know how big the room looked once we cleared everything out? Well, it doesn't look big anymore." Yes, the guys from the Dump arrived this evening and installed our new sleigh bed, mirrored dresser and media center/unit -- huzzah!
We've run into a fascinating mystery with the bed -- namely, there's about ten inches of space between the ends of our mattresses and the footboard. I can only attribute this to the fact that we have two twin mattresses (Lyndon likes a firm mattress, and I prefer one with a pillowtop), and twin mattresses must be significantly shorter than king mattresses. Or something.
Never mind -- I'll come up with a way to hide it. At least the furniture looks splendid, and I can actually put my jewelry boxes back in my bedroom again, whee! And next month, matching night tables!
Yes, I'm old when I can get jazzed about bedroom furniture. But remember, we've NEVER had a matching set of furniture in our married life, and we haven't actually had a proper bedstead since 2000, so this is all rather exciting.
