I saw this video on the front page of Technorati yesterday. Obsessive compulsive much? Lol

« All Done!

Not in a sports sense like Floyd Landis did that one day in the Tour de France, but I actually hit the wall of my bedroom. Anybody who has slept in a waterbed knows how you have to hoist yourself over the edge to get out of it. Well, that's how I've gotten out of bed for years. The new mattress sits up above the frame. It takes a little jump to get into bed. Well, when I got up yesterday, I gave myself that little hoist and sent myself flying into the wall. Whoops! I almost did it again this morning. This is going to take some getting used to!

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.

Sorry, the new pink layout for Breast Cancer Awaresness month is going to be a little late. I think you'll like it, though, I do. I'm going to take the time to really fix my EE code. It's so jacked up. All I did was take an existing template and screw with it here and there and it's a mess. There's unnecessary css, old straggling bits of code, etc. I want to be able to skin this thing, so I'd better just get it fixed now.

OK, I'm tired and I'm off to try out the new bed. G'night!

Well, we went to Denver Mattress and got ourselves a new mattress. We were toying with the idea of getting a Select Comfort bed, but after reading lots of bad reviews on epinions.com, we decided that they're just too much money to spend on something that might suck. I hope this one works out. We went there because Marcus had a Furniture Row credit card. Turns out they've changed banks since he last used it and he had to end up reapplying for a new card anyway. Would've been nice if the company had sent him a letter or something telling him the account was no longer valid.

Denver Mattress had a waterbed insert in stock from their Doctor's Choice series so we wouldn't have to get a frame. I'm in the process of putting the protectant on it, then we'll see if our sheets fit. I'm a little concerned that they won't. I really didn't want to have to get new sheets, too. *sigh*

Marcus also got us a couple of new pillows. Yay for new pillows.
