Hhmmmm . . . things last night were all negative and out of sorts and that was not the nicest message to put through, so i want to throw a new entry in here for you all . . .
We have four computers in our apartment and only one is non-working at this time. We just got DSL and Angel is working on setting up the home network so we can both play on our own computers at zippy high speeds and chat with each other like the denizens at the crackhaus!
i am handling the shipping and receiving for a corrugated box company in Dallas and it's a good fit. i grew up in my Mom's office in the material control department at an avionics company that did maintaince and chartering and so i feel like i have come home in a way, it's cool. Learning the ins and outs of this particular field is not exactly easy, but it makes sense to me and i'm picking up my pace already. Bonus ~ my typing and handwriting has greatly improved!
i was in a weird mood last night since we spent the night at my parents' so they could go out of town for a funeral and i always feel so insignificant and powerless when i'm around them. However, I did post to Meeting just cause i have been meaning to.
We had dinner over at Naomi's on Wednesday and was able to see the new and adorable baby, Seth. He is so tiny and wise looking but still cute as a button and i got to carry him around and hold him!
Tuesday, like all other Tuesdays, we had dinner with my family and Monday was . . . ummm . . . i forget.
i was working on my Christmas list today at work since there were dead time that stretched on and on, and i realized that this year i don't want all that much. Moreover, most of my wishes are very practical.
i was asking for a solid wood bed frame with about a foot of space underneath, but that is not as wild as it sounds, since Dad already said he'd make it. i wanted a salad shooter ~ the hand held one that shreds ~ and an electric can opener. i need some shelves and curtains, a small desk for my computer (white), and a set of glass glasses in some kind of hazy gray shade to match my dishes. Of course, i listed some CDs and movies i want, but those are filler, really, and the lists are small.
It's so odd to start over like this in a new home with a new person added to the mix. i like it in this case but that is more a testament to my love for him and his amazing personality than to how well i handle change. i would have probably killed some one by now out of stress and desperation if it were anyone else ~ i can't even live with my best friend!
"Leader of Men" ~ Nickleback
"Tell your friends not to think aloud
Until they swallow
Whisper things into my brain
Your voice sounds so hollow
i am not a leader of men
Since i prefer to follow
Do you think i could have a drink
Since it's so hard to swallow?"
