Happy Easter! blah, now onto laundry...

Its easter once again, seems like only a year ago easter was here..wow, how time flies...oh well, time for laundry...lol! story of my life... things have changes a bit, not monumentally, but a bit, i'm working saturdays now, and have mondays off, spring has sprung, which means yard work, which means i have to get up on the roof and clean the gutters once again.  which means i wont make the same mistake i did last year and not put my ac in the window...it was quite miserable last year, although, the year before i really didnt need the ac..lol! the weather cant make up its mind......and of course today, laundry.  i wont be making bread today seeing as the loaf i made last weekend hasnt been finished yet......and i might work on my room a bit.  I was planning on getting a new desk, we have some nice desks at the store for like 30 bucks! bigger and better than my little desk, but no matter how much i measure and plot, i cant get it to fit and have room for the other crap i have too...so all i'm gonna do is move the existing desk over a foot or so, so i can have room for my linux box! and maybe start getting my amiga 1200 out of mothballs so to speak.....we'll see, ive got mountains of magazinesa i need to read piled up infront of the desk, so those need to be moved first......sigh..so much to read so little time =) and as the title hints at, this is easter sunday...whoopie....mom is gonna make a ham for dinner.....thats about the extent of my easter holiday......i went to an estate sale yesterday and got a really cool old, but super sharp straight razor, i'm shopping around for a honing stone and i'll be learning how to shave with straight razor! cant wait! hopefully wont accidentally behead myself! lol!!! the estate sale was at the home of this towns long time barber, Tibs, they call him, hes had some health setbacks and can no longer work, so hes moving out of the area.....and he had a good collection of straight razors etc......and alot of other stuff to boot..i might go back there today to see whats left =)........until next time.....

so much for saturdays......new carpet, new tv stand, new room?

as you can tell by the title, my saturdays are gone for the summer once again, in other words, i have to work saturdays for the summer, and i'm off sunday and monday, wonderful, i was hoping against hope something woudl change, even though change is in the air, its not changin yet! THAT OK, i can get caught up on personal stuff whilst i sit and wait for my possible 1 customer a day, if that......download stuff and put it on my zip disk, or, whatever needs doing, searching and buying on ebay etc etc etc......daydreaming! such is life i guess...no point sniveling about it, cant do anything about it.....of course, that gives me a pretty full sunday to get things done, like laundry......i'm about 3/4 done, maybe finish it tomorrow...of course, i might be going to walmart tomorrow as well..sigh....no rest for the weary......ive got a loaf of bread going in the bread machine, just took the paddle out and it should be in the rising and baking mode right now......i was considering buying a newer bigger desk for my room, but after many measuring sessions, and moving it around multiple times in my mind, no matter where i mentallyput it, its still too big, so now, i'm considering putting in this very skinny bookshelf i have in the shed in place of the 2 wire mesh shelving units i have in my room, onyl thing, once again, is where to put it and how to move things to make good use of the little room i have =) still sorting thing out, but i'm pretty sure i'm not buying the desk...even tho its below dirt cheap....still not warranted......i just got an mp3 player the other day, its pretty nice..i listened to a few binaural beats tracks last night and a guided meditation, got a pretty good nights sleep, but dont remember my dreams unfortunately......i was going to get up ono the roof today and clean ou the gutters, buts its extremely windy once again, so no-go.....and i dont know if i will put in a garden this year or not....havent decided yet, if i do, i found asparagus roots at walmart, surprisingly enough, they are supposed to grow for 2 years....if i do a garden this year, i'll definately try those...the lettuce i tried last year didnt go too well...i got maybe 2 small bowls worth of leaves, oh well, live and learn =) we got new carpeting in the living room, and mom and dad finally decided to get rid of their fake presswood oaken monstrosity of tv stand! they bought a more modern, more than half the sized of the old piece of crap cabinet, looks good, or at least it will when i get everyrthing moved over to the new stand....as for new room, as i mentioned before in this blog, i am thinking of rearranging at least the desk side of my room to try to get enough extra space for my new linux box! doesnt need alot of room, buit ive got alot of crap to move around...but itll get done sooner or later, i'm gonna put my ac back in the window this year, i didnt use it last year and regretted it....so this year, its gonna get used...there are no drain holes in the case so the last time i used it i ended up with slimy sludge inside the thing...which required me to take the thing apart and thoroughly clean it out..i plan on drilling a few small holes along the underside back edge of the case for draining.....other than all that....nothing new....the weather is trying to warm up, but not succeeding to well....or succeeding very slowly....i'm looking forward to geocaching this year a bit around town..and maybe a few out of town..who knows......mountain biking, walking, hopefuly a round or 3 of golf! we'll see.....until next time...
