swingchickiei got zippo packing done today. i got some administrative stuff done, which was important... started my october expense report, shipped my deposit on the apartment, called a local bakery to order the cupcakes for my birthday (i was gonna bake them all myself, but there's no way i can, so it'll be worth the $150), bought a buttload of boxes. i also had to pit 2 car dealerships against each other, which i hated doing. i just felt so sleazy. i called a second dealership to see if what the first one was offering me was fair, and they gave me a better deal... so when i called the first place, they went down even lower. so basically i'm getting exactly the car i want, with tons of fun features, for a little bit under invoice... plus they're letting me finance it through my credit union, which is a much lower rate than they were offering. i think i made out well. now i just have to go tomorrow and get the paperwork to send to my insurance company and credit union. i haven't bought a car in over 10 years, this is totally freaking me out.
spent a little bit of time with L1 at lunchtime today. it was a nice break from all the running around. i felt so bad though, because my phone kept ringing with apartment peoples' questions and car dealership peoples' questions and work folks congratulating me. then at 3pm (an hour late, natch), D came over so i could help him with his halloween costume. he's going as a starbucks barista, and he wanted a bunch of tats and fake piercings. he got the piercings at claire's in the mall, but he needed help with the tats. and i'm actually pretty proud of them, they came out looking not totally sucky:
flames and barbed wire
knuckles
this one cracked me up...
his company logo (a lot of work people will be at his party)
even though i should have spent the time doing more move stuff, it was a fun distraction. i just kept cracking up at the fact that i was drawing all over my ex-boyfriend with sharpie markers. *chuckle* now i have to get my own halloween costume in gear... i decided to go to a halloween dance tonight, even though i should be packing. it's going to be a long while before i go out dancing again, especially as a bostonian, so i want to enjoy my friends for one last night. *weep*
oh... and it's been snowing here. hard.
