Ceiling Fans, Books, & TV

My ceiling is back in place. I'm so happy to be sleeping away from the front porch. I now have a ceiling fan in my bedroom and I love it. Having no AC in the bedroom makes the fan that much more enjoyable.

This weekend I plan to clean up a little. When I moved in, some things never made it past the floor in the living room. I'm going to try to put the rest of the stuff away. I also have to vacuum (which is now possible, since I didn't have my vacuum before). The vacuuming is necessary. The window air conditioner blew a whole bunch of black chunks onto the floor the first time I ran it and it's just been sitting there on the floor ever since.

My other goals for the weekend are to finish reading Wicked and finish watching Sabrina, the Teenage Witch. I started watching the whole series from beginning to end a week or so ago. With nothing to do in the evenings I've been watching several each night. I'm into season 5 out of 7. I think I can accomplish both of these goals this weekend, crazy goals though they may be.

Ceiling and such

Well, the ceiling will get fixed this weekend. That's a plus. I actually don't mind sleeping in the living room, but it IS weird sleeping with my bed up against a window that faces the front porch. I was also informed that my rent will be changed for July to reflect this "inconvenience". Double cool, since I'm still paying rent on 2 apartments.

Weekend Disaster

Well, the weekend wasn't really a disaster, but I walked into one when I came home.

I spent the weekend at home with the parents. It was nice to see the puppy and family. Dad's car is nice, and the garage is finally what I would consider clean. Well, clean as can be expected for a garage!

Drove home today, walked in to my apartment and noticed that something didn't seem right. Walked into my bedroom and saw a pile of "stuff" and didn't have a clue what it was. Then realized that the rug was squishy. Yep, you guessed it, the ceiling fell down. The kitchen sink upstairs was leaking and the leak caused my bedroom ceiling to end up on my bedroom floor. It's mostly cleaned up for now. My bed is in the living room. The landlord will come over tomorrow to start repairs.

Conference Realignment

I'm addicted to news stories about the conference realignments happening in the NCAA. Nebraska unofficially to the Big 10, Colorado officially to the Pac 10... The stories just keep coming!

It's official: Pac-10 announces addition of Colorado

More to come, I'm sure!

Last Weekend

So, last Friday I had dinner with my lovely DZ sisters at Buca di Beppo in Kansas City. We had a blast. I had only ever met one of them in person, so it was fun to put faces to names and voices to personalities.











This weekend I'm headed home for "Father's Day" since I have a 3 day weekend. Gotta love those union guys who decide that Flag Day is a good day to get off work.

The week so far

Well, the week started off not great (not awful either though). I arrived at the office to find out that I wasn't paid last week. Something god messed up between my office and payroll. Luckily they cut me a check immediately on Tuesday and it was in my account by Wednesday. I can also now start submitting my receipts for reimbursement. That's a necessary thing to be able to pay off my credit card!

I'm excited about this weekend. I've got dinner plans on Friday with several DZ sisters in Kansas City. I'm looking forward to meeting people I've never met in person and possibly seeing the one I have met once before.
