moving furniture is aggrevating

ha! so i haven't done much (or rather, anything even mildly productive at all) since graduation, and i think i'm going to keep it up. working for my dad seems to have morphed into a 24-hours a day/7-days a week on-call type operation, even though i only actually WORK like 10 hours a week for him, so it's slightly draining. my grandma had a heart attack and was in the hospital for a while so we were keeping scott occupied and going down to see her everyday (btw, it takes longer to park at morristown memorial than it should to park anywhere, ever), but she came home last night and is doing much better. ted and i are trying to remodel one room at a time in hopes that our house won't look so ridiculous, but i think it's kind of a pipe dream cuz it still looks like hell. we did buy an awesome new chair though and a huge ottoman to go with it, and got rid of the couch that was upstairs that i always hated (it's in scott's room now, with like 4 other couches. how's a nigga gonna accumulate so many couches?). now i'm working on moving some stuff around. we bought a new bookcase but need another one still. that's 4 floor-to-ceiling bookcases, and it's not enough. they're a bitch and a half to move though. idk, right now i'm just moving things around and pretending that i know what i'm doing when clearly i don't. i figure may and early june were intensely drama-filled, so i'm just going to chill on everything for a little while and calm the fuck down. the meadowlands fair starts this thursday, and the clam bake at the legion is on saturday. oh and rita's new baby has a pretty terrible name (tierney ellis stuempfle?) but is very cute anyway. we saw it last week, and i think it made ted go into baby-wanting mode hardcore. we'll see how long that lasts. my parents are getting a new kitchen! but all the appliances have been in their garage for 9 months anyway, so it was coming sooner or later. oh and we got my mom a new jeep liberty as a surprise (we put bows on it and everything) and she hates it. nice going, mom. i wouldn't really even care if somebody gave me a scion covered in hello kitty stickers, if it had a bow on it and was brand new, i'd fucking love it. oh well. now that we have a new, better grill (from deandra, co, mo & bk to ted for father's day) maybe we will have giant barbeque soon.
have good summers everyone
