Sleeping bag!? You betcha!

Recently I haven't been able to get to bed by any reasonable hour but I think I've actually come up with something that works (at least a little bit). I decided a couple days ago to pull out my sleeping bag, although this was just to stay warm initially. After a while, I was now warm, comfortable and before I knew it I was about to fall asleep! I must say, I slept great with my sleeping bag...now, I must tell you, that I was sleeping on the couch as well, although I thought about sleeping on the floor. I love my bed, and the oh so comfortable and warm down comforters that I have on them, but it was nice sleeping in my sleeping bag! This is the first time in a long time that I've pulled out my sleeping bag, but it was so worth it! Okay, well I just thought I'd share that....maybe you should pull out your sleeping bag too!

Over and out!
Lo!

Real estate!?


So lately I've been thinking about possibly buying a house being that I'll be in the area for about 4 years. I have a great living situation right now, but I might be able to move closer to school, and then eventually make money on a house rather than paying monthly with no return. At this point I've been looking around just to get an idea of what prices and taxes are for the different areas. There are a few pieces of properties that I like pretty well, but I've only seen them from pictures online, so hopefully soon I'll be able to take a closer look at what I'd be dealing with. I would like a house that isn't perfect that has some "fixer-upper" type qualities so I can make it my own, but nothing too major being that I'll be in school at the same time. Anyway, that's kind of where things are at for now, hopefully I'll have a better idea of how much I can even afford within the next week or so. Well, that's all for now....

Simply Amazing!

So this weekend after I got home from meeting up my roommate at Lowes to look at some paint for her bathroom and was getting ready to eat and my phone rang. My mom was calling me, so I answered and we talked for a minute and the door bell rang, so I told her to hold on a second while I answered the door. I answered the door and my parents and Scruffy were standing there! Talk about a surprise! They drove 10 hours just to come and see me! Not only did they come for the weekend, they even brought my mom's home made icing to make me a birthday cake, and stuff to make vegetable soup! It was such a great weekend with them! We didn't really do all that much but it was great just hanging out, and of course playing lots of board games! I was going to take more pictures, but I thought I'd rather hang out with them, than take pictures. I'll post the couple that I took on here later in the week. Well, that's all for now...

Over and out!

New laptop & birthday update....

Well, I am back to using my lap top again...but this time it works, and is new! I went through Dell, but went the outlet route because it's so much cheaper and it's the same quality! Anyway, so I got an Inspiron 1525, with pretty much everything on it that is standard, no upgrades really to speak of. I'm getting use to the newer layout of the computer in general, especially with Vista as opposed to Windows XP which I previously had.

On a different note...I had a great birthday this past Sunday! Many friends and family had called, sent cards/packages, or messages, and truly made my day! I mostly just relaxed and enjoyed the day, even though I should have been studying...oh well! So thank you to everyone who helped make my birthday great! Well, that's all for now!

Over and out!
