whoooooa~ busy!
Classical @ 08:49 am CST
arrrg, i am already so so so bored. i can feel it seeping in through my ears like a diseeeease.
so it's the day before the fourth. no one is in the office today, especially not the people who give me anything to do. thus, i am pretty much left to fend for myself until either the 'phone starts ringing or something...happens.
yawn. :|
what a waste of a day, really.
i could be at home right now, getting things done that i have to get done. this week's agenda consists of getting ready for CONvergence this weekend (which i am so frekaing excited for; apparently lots of people are coming with us this year) that involves me making my not-so-secret-anymore cosplay thing still, running a few shopping errands with my mother before she leaves for new york ahead of my sister and i next week, and putting my room back together.
we ventured to the land of the swedes yesterday (more formally known as IKEA) and bought a bit of new furniture for all the bedrooms. since my parents have some extra monies to spare at the moment because we just sold our cabin, we're using those funds to fix up our home.
my parents say the plan is to increase the property value as much as possible through renovations before the new highway gets put in two years from now, when it will be a good time for my parents to sell our home and move elsewhere like they plan on. since i-312 will allow traffic to come from downtown minneapolis straight to chaska without hitting a stoplight and it goes right past my neighborhood, it's going to increase everyone's property values right there because they'll be so accessable for the upper-class businesspeople who would be able to afford these houses.
of course, i'll be long gone by then, so what do i care. :B
anyway, i have this cabinet/tv stand coming on wednesday that goes with the two tall bookcases i brought home last night, plus a nightstand and a new chair for my room that DOESN'T SQUEAK. <3 seriously, i was getting so sick of the damn chair making so much noise.
though i know where it came from. i happen to be sitting on the same model of chair right now at work. >_>
i will also, at long last, upgrading my bed from a twin to a full. i have wanted a larger bed for so long, you have no idea. however, with my wee living spaces, it really wasn't possible until i got rid of all the stuff i have over the years.
i have very little clutter these days... i mean, i just threw out three garbage bags full of trash from my room, plus filled up a large bucket full of stuff for charity. i have a bit more to sort through, but that was all the stuff i have stored in the boxes under my bed, in my closet, and in the dresser that i am now getting rid of because it is empty.
we got this giantantic dumpster, by the way. it's sitting in our driveway and we've filled up like, a third of it with CRAP. i got to help fling this lighty reindeer we have for christmas into there, which made a table leg bounce out and set off my car's alarm. XD everyone is tossing clutter, which is nice, but we're having the worst time getting my brother to give up stuff. he is so goddamn clingy that he'll throw FITS if we try to throw away like, mcdonald's toys or whatever.
but you have no idea how much fun it is throwing shit into a dumpster.
anyway, all i have left is a couple of small flats under my bed with stuff in them, and a bucket in the closet full of my stuffed animals. then i have my whole craft--whoa, i just had to totally save this halfway and log off, because the lady i share this computer with came in an insisted that she checked her e-mail NOW--bin and whatever the hell is on my desk. but most of that's art supplies and stuff. important. stuff i use regularily.
THUS, i don't have a lot of stuff, and because i don't, i can get a bigger bed, whoo. XD we'll have to travel a bit to get the matress from the good place back by where i used to live, and then make a trip back to IKEA for the bed frame and new sheets. and hopefully a rug.
we saw this rug on display and it is so PERFECT, you have no idea. since all the wood in my bedroom is cherry-stained, it has a reddish tint alongside the muted green paint and everything in my room. so they had this shag rug that was mostly green, but has dark red accents. SO PERFECT. but we get downstairs and we can't find it, because guess what! they sold out.
so we have our name down, first on a list, to be contacted once they rotate that display out later this week. i hope i get it. it was just...so right. T^T
however, my room is...trashed right now. XD i won't be able to find anything for a few days, because all the stuff that was on my desk and stuff is now in assorted piles on my bedroom floor.
but i just don't think i'll get to cleaning a lot of it before CONvergence, honestly. i will have to put together all the furniture i get before my mother leaves so we can make sure things look right, but even before that, i need to get my cosplay thing done. i'll probably be working on that into the night tonight and tomorrow and assembling furniture on wednesday night and into thursday, plus packing for CONvergence and getting clothes for new york with my mother and everything.
waaaaah.
but the coat and my room will both be most awesome once i do get them done. it might just be into next week.
oh wells!
apparently i have some work to do... involves me looking through boring magazines to find ads and press releases for the clients this company has, which is about as interesting as watching soup cool down.
so i guess i'm off.
