saturday morning musings

wow. i slept for 9 hours last night, and feel like a new person. i wish i could sleep in like regular people... instead, i get my extra sleep by zonking out in front of the TV at 9pm. i'm so exciting. note to self: if i ever need to get a good night's sleep, all i need is a big steak off the grill and a glass of wine. zzzZZZZzzzz.

thanks to the awesome derbyhat, i now know that my hoop-and-lesson combo actually was raffled off last weekend. the person who ran the dance just never replied to my e-mail. another note to self: check with a person directly before posting an uncaffeinated rant about the situation.

fun, fun weekend ahead. this afternoon i'm going to get to see some old college friends (who i haven't seen since graduation, whoa), and tomorrow is a mall marathon to get some (hopefully on sale) new work clothes. in the meantime, duck has had his morning snorgle, i've had my coffee, and it's time to make a hoop that i'm dropping off to a customer this morning who lives about a mile away.

happy weekend!

eeeEEEeee!

so, the people who live directly behind me have finally put their house on the market, after months of cleaning, fixing, and hauling stuff away. (if you know of anyone who'd like to live in the 'burbs and who wouldn't suck as a neighbor, let 'em know.) please, oh PLEASE let them get close to their asking price, so that the value of my house starts to go up again, please please please.

anyway, this morning my awesome eagle-eyed boyfriend spotted this beauty on their curb, which is now sitting proudly in my dining room:



as you can see, it has been given the angus seal of approval. :)

it's missing some of the stereo components inside, but if nothing else it makes a really cool sideboard-looking thing.
