god this week is going slowwwwwww
I had so little to do at work today and my boss was there most of the day so I ended up hole punching. I did get complimented on my outfit by a client--I've been trying to dress up at least two days a week and was wearing a black tulip skirt and silky red and white floral top that, of course, has to be pinned shut with a vintage jet brooch because my boobs would fall out of it if I didn't. I was also wearing my Steve Madden white wedge platform sandals and nearly turned my ankle stepping on the base of one of my boss' chair and ended up slinging a file at him as I stumbled. *g*
We had thunderstorms yesterday afternoon and evening. I'm very scared of them these days (after the damage done with the last one). Still, it was only raining when I left work so I planned to run some errands, until I turned onto 10th street and there was a cop there because half a frickin' tree (a 20 foot tree) fell across a car! So, I went home panicking that my house would have a tree on top of it. But, apparently the high winds mostly hit downtown this time and not my neighborhood.
The Royals won again, therefore winning their sixth series in a row. :) While I watched it, I wrote my fullmoon ficlet fic and did laundry.
It was supposed to rain today but never did, so I ran the errands from yesterday today. I'm addicted to teaberry coffee so I went to World Market (the only place that sells it locally) and bought two bags. Last night I made a pot of Kona (bought on sale at the grocery) and I forgot how much I liked it--so smooth. But teaberry is still better. Went to Target, too, for brita filters, diet cokes, and tv dinners that my main grocery doesn't sell.
Then I got home, turned on the tv and the damn DVR rebooted at some point after last night and erased everything.
GRRRRRRRRRRRR
So, of course, I lost the Teen Wolf eps I'd saved, but I do the naughty on them and have them all on my computer. I reconstructed what I lost and thanks to my really decent On Demand, I can watch Falling Skies, The Lottery, Crossbones and Pretty Little Liars there. We get ABC and NBC but not CBS and Fox (though we get FX and FXX) but I can watch the last two 24 eps at fox.com but I only have eleven days to do it. A lot of the cable channels are available like TNT, USA, FX, Lifetime, ABC Family etc. Even MTV so I can watch all the TW eps on my tv if I want.
Since I have to sign up for the HD channels before football starts, I'm taking the damn DVR back and getting a new one. I'm sure it'll fuck up, too, but...
I think I've gotten everything reprogrammed into it.
So, that's the unhappy for the day.
The happy is that...FOOTBALLLLLLLLL! The Chiefs first preseason game is on right now. I'm not paying a lot of attention to it, but I'm hopeful for the season. We're currently up 20-17, the two touchdowns were pick sixes (for those going huh? that's an interception run back for a touchdown). Also, last night I bought a ticket for the KU/Iowa State game in early November. I got a really good seat (well, I paid the highest price but I figure I'm only going to one game, might as well go all out) between the 40 and 50 yard line 58 rows up. I usually go to a preconference game, but the first one is on that tv channel dad doesn't get so he's coming here, and the next one is on the day of my doctor's appointment and the time for the game isn't set yet. Even though the earliest would be 11:00 and my appointment is at 9:00 (and literally two blocks from where I park for the game), you never know if the doctor will be running late or if she'll want to run tests or something and I didn't want to be rushed. So, I picked the one Big 12 game I think we might be able to win.
I just love the atmosphere of the games. I'm really hoping we have a decent season because I want to get season tickets but I'm not spending that kind of money if we're only going to win like two games a season.
So football is my happy for the day and I'm about to leave it to go watch the Royals final game in Arizona, see if we can sweep. :)
