Dawn's Digression.
Monday, July 22, 2002
Today is Emily Saliers' birthday. To celebrate I am listening to the Indigo Girls here at work, and tonight maybe I'll work on my IG scrapbook. Maybe. Not sure what else I plan to do tonight. I did notice the remake of The Shining is on, and I'd like to see that. Ya know, just so I'll have some nightmares again.
We only have one more Sunday of softball. I have a cornucopia of feelings about this. As much as I hate heat, I really enjoy the social aspect. I was actually looking forward to it this weekend. It's a good chance for me to get to talk to people. I have yet to get any of my friends to show up and hang out with me, so sometimes I am so bored I can hardly stand it. But now that it is only 3 games a day I am much happier. LLCM is excited about the extra time we'll have to spend with each other. I'm worried it'll give us more time to get on each other's nerves. This weekend she got in a bad mood, and I actually left the house. Got the car keys and went shopping. I got a new shirt. And new shoes. I miss shopping. I got a new shirt last weekend, too. Oooo. And the weekend before. Looks like I'm on a roll.
Thinking about dying my hair again. Just a little bit red. What do ya think? To red or not to red? I'm torn.
LLCM and I have a new game we're playing. Everytime one of us cusses, we have to pay a nickel. Yeah, I'm screwed. Luckily we don't work together and she doesn't read my blog, so I can still curse a little. Last week we played the 'shut up' game (shut ups were .25). She paid $2.50. I paid $0.50. That's how often she told me to shut up last week. I'm pretty sure I'll catch up with her shortly. Stupid cheap cussing.
I just started watching Trading Spaces a couple of weeks ago. That show has kept me from accomplishing anything on Sunday mornings. I saw next weekend is a marathon. *sigh* That show makes me want to paint something or something. Our walls are white. Glossy white. Maybe it is semi-gloss, but it seems glossy. We both want to paint, etc, but we're renting, so what's the point? We hope to be out of that place in a year. I really hope we are. It's small and it makes me crazy. Why? I'll give you an example. Pink tile in the bathroom. No dishwasher. That's plenty, isn't it?
I do have permission to go buy a new shower curtain, and I'm quite excited about it. The bathroom came with flower border. *cringe* I am not going to do anything about that since we're not staying, and I don't want to deal with whatever is behind that. SO~ I gotta find a shower curtain that matches pink tile and flower border. Good gravy. That goes against every decorating bone in my body. Could I get a nice earthtone, please? Nope. I got pink. I hate pink. I think I'll go to Wally World and get one of their heavy duty shower liners with the metal rings where the holes are. Our current shower curtain has no hole reinforcement. I don't want to talk about the duct tape solution. I'm mortified. And now I'm wondering why I'm sharing this with you. It's embarrassing. We also have a BLACK shower rod. I don't think so. Silver, baby. I am proud, however, that we DO have metal shower curtain rings. Thanks to me. The cool ones with rollers. Oh my. I so want to decorate the bathroom now. Could I do like a taupe with pink? I love taupe. What goes with pink? And don't say pink. Or blue. Of course, if I replace the curtain then our bathmat won't match, and I'll have to replace that. Then our toothbrush holder won't match, and that will have to be replaced. And we need a splash guard. Are y ou bored, yet? I'm not. But I'll stop talking about it anyway. I won't be able to think about anything else, but I'll shut up about it.
Oh NO! I just remembered I forgot my wallet today. There will be no shopping after work. Thank goodness. Grrrr. I don't need to be shopping, anyway.
