I've been slowly moving music off my laptop to my external hard drive and I'm about halfway through it. I'm going through my iTunes directory and moving off non-iTunes proprietary music. It's slow going, but now I have 23 GB available on my C-drive. Yay! Eventually I'll move the rest of my iTunes directory to my external hard drive, but I don't anticipate that happening for a couple weeks.
The heat in my apartment stopped working...presumably last night. When I got back from Chris and Megan's my apartment was cold, but I figured that was because it was 12 degrees outside. I woke up this morning and it was still freezing. I bumped my heat up to 70; up to 80 a half hour later; up to 90 a half hour after that. The heat never kicked on. I called my landlord around 11 and the heat was back on around 1 or so. It was very cold. I'm glad I rent an apartment and don't have to worry about paying extra to have a furnace guy come out and fix things. I'm just happy to have heat.
I got to talk to SteelersBoy briefly today. It's great and weird; we became friends so fast, and the fact that I don't see him on a daily basis and can't harass him on a daily basis sucks. He loves to harass me (who doesn't) and today he got me, hook, line, and sinker. See, when I talked to him at my intermediate job, we were IM'ing each other, but we were in the same room, so I could see his facial expressions. His facial expressions gave him away and I knew what was up. Talking to him on the phone is better except when I fall for his jokes.
My mom is getting a bronchoscopy Wednesday. The hope is that they'll find something blocking her lungs and zap it. The cancer is back in its original spot (the parotid gland) and you can see it. She doesn't talk about it much, but she at least told me about her brochoscopy. She bought a dog Friday. It's a shitzu named Lady and is quite cute. There's a long story that goes along with the new dog, but I'll try to sum it up. Our old dog (Bear) passed away a week ago and my mom wanted a new dog. My dad's boss gave him money to help get a dog, which allowed my mom to specify the breed of dog she wanted. Hopefully the dog helps her...gives her better spirits...I dunno.
My horoscope the other day said something along the lines of "a fabulous flirtation will become an intense obsession." My horoscope was off a couple weeks...er, months...but reading it kind of jarred something in my brain. So on the way back from an evening of drinking wine and hanging out, I called PotentialBoy. He didn't answer, which is probably for the best. If he had answered, I was going to ask him out this week. Worse case scenario he would say no. But, he didn't answer, I didn't leave a message, and life will go on. Yes, the wine did make me a little more courageous, but honestly, I probably would have asked him this week. But yes, you're right, I would have thought about it for awhile and probably would have talked myself out of it.
