the first week of 2009
I'm still alive. Sadly I can't say the same for my computer. But I'll get to that in a minute.
Had a pretty good New Year's Eve... spent the evening with Yeny, KC, Kris, Keith and Tera. We played board games and ate a ton of chips and dip. Went to sleep around 7am and slept in til nearly 2pm. After we dragged ourselves out of bed, Yeny and KC went furniture-shopping with me to pick out a new couch (as my Christmas present from my parents). I ended up finding a huge, cushy corner couch. Black leather bottom and arms with tan suede cushions. Soooo awesome. And I picked out the matching black leather cocktail ottoman to go with it. Came back home to my computer, which had crashed earlier in the day and gave me the blue screen of death. I got so mad that I broke the keyboard drawer on my desk... knocked it completely off both sliders and now it's stuck. But that was the least of my worries at the time. KC tried to fix it and unfortunately didn't help much. Luckily Keith came over to look at it the next day. I thought I lost all my files, but they are recoverable... it will just take a few more days to rescue everything. Anyway...
My new couch got delivered today. It just fits in my living room, and it looks so nice. I had to do a bit of re-arranging, but in the end I think I really like how my living room looks now. I still have to work on re-arranging the stuff on the walls though. That'll be a project for this weekend maybe.
Before the couch got delivered today, I had to get rid of the love seat and two couches that previously occupied my living room. I planned on just giving them all to Goodwill this morning. The other day I mentioned this to Simon and he asked to take one of the couches and the love seat. He came over yesterday and helped me get them in the truck and over to his house. Afterward he took me out to dinner to say thanks. We went to this adorable little Italian restaurant. Wonderful food and great conversation... one of the best nights I've had in a long while :)
I love random little moments... Sitting here at my computer, I heard my cell phone (out in the living room) receive a text message. Usually when this happens I'll check the twitter home page to see if someone tweeted so I know whether or not to get up and check it (I'm so lazy). and sure enough, it was Adam, as usual. that just made me laugh :) btw Adam, I figured out the problem from yesterday with me not getting the messages... every once in a while Twitter will disable the texts to my phone because it says it hasn't heard from me. It's done this a few times now and it's annoying, especially since I can't even re-enable it from the mobile site, I have to do it from my computer. Annoying, but oh well.
That's about it for now. Keith is taking my hard drive with him to finish recovering all my data, so it'll be a few more days before I have a fully functioning computer again. I apologize if anyone has made any important updates lately... I haven't read anything since new year's and probably won't get to for a few more days. Hopefully I can find my connector cable for my laptop though, then I can still have internet here *crosses fingers* If not, at least my cell phone has media net, mobile e-mail and aim. I will survive. haha!
