Moving day....

In honor of ZarahZou moving into a new house, I decided to do some rearranging. I moved "the library" from the living room up to my bedroom. Moving one bookshelf probably doesn't sound like a lot of work, but it took me a couple of hours. Carrying stacks of books up the stairs, at least 20 trips. Then carrying the book case. Then when I got it up to my bedroom, I had to move stuff around to make it fit. Then I had to perform surgery on it with my super-handy drill. One of the sides needed to be re-connected. Then I had to put the books back. Then I moved the kitchen table, moved the loveseat a bit, then I finished reading "The Woods" by Harlan Coben. WOW! It was very, very good.

I love my new purple vacuum. It is so cute and so light. And it picks up great.

Monday is my follow up appointment with the doctor to see if my cholesterol has dropped. I can't wait to find out if my flax seed/fish oil/metamucil diet is working. I'll be rather disappointed if it is not.

Ok, I am going to watch Law & Order since I have the house to myself. ZickyZou is working on his dad's car, and Zalyssa is at her dads. So the house is all mine.

The house to myself....

ZickyZou went somewhere with his brother. MissZalyssa went to the Twins game with her friend Zashley. I have the house to myself. Except I have to make the broccoli salad, cut up the strawberries, and do a bunch of other stuff to get ready for tomorrow. We are going over to my parents and grilling steaks. Yum!

I am very, very mad at stupid Mr. Zristopher Zawks, my sisters ex-husband. They are both being stupid. His new girlfriend is telling my nephew that his mom is stupid and other things like that. Mr.Zris is telling my sister, Zeryl, that she is lying about it. I don't really care what the real story is, all that is important is that all 3 of them (Zris, Zeryl and Zapril) need to GROW UP! and act like adults. The most important person is the equation is the child. Love your children more than you hate your ex. My nephew is four years old, he should not have to deal with the name-calling and the fighting and tension being caused by this situation. Yes, I know it's hard. I've been there.

I got up early and got my hair cut. Just two inches off the back, the ends of the layers and bangs. Looks exactly like it did, but shorter. I like that.

Okay, I have about another hour and a half to myself. I'm going to take a nap. Or watch for my daughter on tv.

Rory said no!!

I'm very very sad that Gilmore Girls is coming to an end. The whole story reminds me of Alyssa and I, except I'm not beautiful like Lorelei, and my daughter probably isn't going to Yale. I can't believe the show is ending. And I can't believe that Rory said no when Logan proposed. It would have been so perfect. I really hope that Luke and Lorelei get back together before it all ends. That is two shows I have lost in the past couple of months.

I have over $30 in my mr.rebates account. I am super-rich. Except I'm going to get about $2 taken back because I'm returning 2 pairs of capri pants because they look silly on me. Too long to be capri's, too short to be pants. But then I bought a new purple vacuum cleaner, so I'll get $3 back.

I'm going to finish watching SVU. Good night!

Alternative to lip gloss....

Last night before I went to bed I drank some fruit punch. I woke up with a nice, bright red kool-aid mustache. I always thought that it was the sugar in kool-aid that caused the staining. But I was drinking a sugar-free crystal light-type zero calorie drink. Next time I am using a straw.

I got a $15 rebate from paypal. I love free money.

I have almost $20 in the mr.rebates account because I may or may not have bought a new dooney handbag. I am not admitting to anything other than having a penchant for nice handbags, and having one heckuva collection.

A very small part of me wonders who is getting kicked off Idol tonight. A very large part of me does not care. An even larger part knows that I should be on my treadmill right now, and not typing this.

The Twins are up by 2. There are very many quite nice looking players. What a fun game to watch.

Ok, I must either walk or go on the stepper. Exercise is a good thing, right?
