Wow, my body is really sore. I know I'm out of shape if the kind of work I did today totally wore me out.

We filled up the dumpster with our old bed parts. It was kind of sad to see it all in there, but I won't have to deal with a leaking bed anymore. Hooray!

The big project today was getting all of our remaining crap out of the storage place. Ugh, the dust I inhaled while sweeping it out made my poor throat all raw. The manager of the place said he'd find a home for the 9 bags of concrete we had there. Yay! It seemed a shame to throw them out when there was absolutely nothing wrong with them and we couldn't find anybody else that had any need for them at the moment. Marcus was also not looking forward to lugging them all over here. So, we still need to find places to stash the stuff we brought back here today, but for the most part, that whole ordeal is over. Yay to us saving $110 a month, too! No more storage until we move again.

We went to Anthony's Pizza & Pasta for dinner. The one over on 40th and Airport has been open for a bit, so Marcus wanted to go try them. When you dine in and order an 18" pizza, they actually make you a 22" pie. Man, that thing was tasty! There was so much left over I have lunch and dinner for tomorrow. Their dinner salad was pretty yummy, too. It had pepperoni, olives, cheese, romaine letteruce (not that crappy iceburg stuff) and I can't remember what else. I'd go back for just that salad again. The woman running the place was really nice, too. Definitely on the repeat visit list.

I cut Marcus' hair this evening. I'm not really that good at it, but Marcus doesn't care because it saves him money and he's always wearing a hat. For once, I didn't cut the skin in between my index and middle finger. I always manage to draw my own blood when I cut his hair, but not this time! It actually came out pretty even and I didn't leave him with any weird little bald spots. My back really hurts when I do it, though. I don't see how hairdressers managae doing that all day. Of course, they have chairs that they can adjust up and down.

Weird Al's "White and Nerdy" video was on VH1's top 20 countdown this weekend, but they cut the end off. I wish iTunes would get it. I'd really love to have a high res version of it.

I had intended to work on the old blog template, but that didn't happen. I've been too busy checking PPP for new puzzle pieces that didn't materialize. Oh, well...I've got all day tomorrow.

OK, I'm gonna go spend the evening in my comfy bed. G'night.

I've got a lot I need to accomplish today.

When Marcus gets back from biking with Mike, we're heading over to Denver Mattress to see if there is anything there that can replace our crappy waterbed insert. I'm never owning a bed that requires water in it ever again! We also need to head over to get the last of our junk out of storage.

My blog is Going Pink for October in observance of Breast Cancer Awareness month, if I can get the darned template I'm working on finished. Hopefully I can concentrate on that this evening after dinner while the guys game. Hopefully my Veronica Mars season 1 discs come in the mail today and I can watch those while I code. I had to send the Firefly discs back. I just couldn't get into them. Maybe at a different point in my life I'll be in a mindset where I can try again.

I have to finish styling my expaning link list menus to save room in the sidebara nd hopefully speed up the site's load time.

I want to be the first to find all the PPP puzzle pieces. There's a $1000 prize at stake for the first one to assemble the pieces and post it on their blog. We all know how much I really need money right now!

Oh, crap...I have to go put Marcus' checks in the bank. Gotta go!

So, I totally forgot that I have one of those debit cards that pays rewards. Well, my account had built up $10 worth of rewards, so I had that deposited back into my account and now I'm off to WalMart for yeast infection medicine. I have such an exciting life, eh? Don't you wish you were me? LOL

Why do things go on sale right after you buy them?

I just bought Skippy a 50 lb bag of dog food last week and it goes on sale this week for $6 off. It's not like I couldn't waited for a sale because I had already let him go a day and half without food at all.

Not cool!

I'm so sick of bad stuff happening.

I've had a cyst in my private area for about a week. It hurt so bad, I could hardly walk. A couple of days ago, it finally popped (ewww, I know), but the relief from pain was awesome. The very next day, I got symptoms of a yeast infection. It isn't full-blown yet, but since I have no cash to get medication until I get a check from that loser old boss of mine, that's only a matter of time. Last night while getting into bed, we discovered the stupid waterbed had popped yet another tube. I spent the night sleeping really close to Marcus on his side while trying to stay off the wet, uneven side. I'm so sick of dealing with a waterbed. I was really hoping this one would last until we could afford to get a Select Comfort bed (they sell a model which will fit in our waterbed frame). We can't afford to get one now, even if they offer payments, since I don't have a job.

My grace period on my license plates expires tomorrow and I don't have enough money to renew them. My brakes are still bad. I need new tires.

Still no calls for interviews. WTF?

Grrrrr, dammit!
