I've had some blog requests so I decided to write a little something before I head off to work today.
Yesterday I experienced the joy of getting something done to my car without knowing anyone in the area. I had to spend the 2 1/2 hours it took to change my oil and fix something with my brakes sitting in the waiting room. Luckily I started a really good book yesterday called The Monster of Florence which is about Italy's own Jack The Ripper-type killer. Katie, I would recommend this book to you since you lived in Florence for a while. I bet you would recognize a lot of the places where the murders happened.
While I was waiting for my car I grabbed The Park Record (local newspaper) and found 3 yard sales happening this Saturday so I'm going to get up early and see if I can find myself some furniture! Yesterday I bought a small yellow dresser from a consignment shop here in town. It was $53, in a store where everything else was really expensive. When I told the woman who was working that I liked the dresser she asked if I had seen the similar red one in the back of the store, and when I said no she showed me a huge $800 dresser.... why she thought these 2 things were similar in look or price is beyond me but I quickly told her that was way out my price range so she showed me a much more reasonably priced dresser at just $300. WTF?!? I clearly wasn't getting through to this woman so I just told her that I have to furnish an entire apartment so I can't spend a lot on one piece. She told me to check out another consignment shop that I believe she said is connected with a church in the area, so I'll do that this weekend too. Plus, a woman at work will be giving me a few things for the apartment this weekend as well. By Monday we could be furnished! I'll just have to connect with Laura Lee and see what she wants to do because she said that she really hates wasting a Saturday morning with yard sales. I personally really like going to yard sales and I'm excited to do so, although the forecast calls for light snow. Anyway, I think we should go together so that we can decide who will buy what and she also has a much bigger car than I do.
I have another movie recommendation for everyone! If you haven't seen Forgetting Sarah Marshall, you need to! It's really funny and sweet! Beware of full frontal male nudity- it happens a few times! It's a pretty raunchy film all around, but I loved it!
There was a list on Yahoo.com yesterday of the prettiest towns in America. Park City and Portsmouth, NH were both on the list!! I'm certainly doing well in terms of living in beautiful places! There were a lot of other New England towns on the list and many more in other parts of the country. I thought it was cool that I have lived in 2 of them!
Time for work!

That's neat! It wasn't until I was older that I realized, yeah NH is a very pretty place. And Utah seems very pretty too. And in response to your comment on my last blog - you don't want to know how many animals we have, it is frightening. And I can tell you how to move the pictures around - I'll email you the next time I post. Enough about me!!...can't wait to see the apartment all setup and lived in!! Good luck on the furniture hunt this weekend :)Oh, almost forgot, let's all welcome Mom to the wonderful world of blogging and commenting!
That's so cool that both PC and Ports. are on that list! I wish I could go shopping with you! That would be SO fun! Good luck finding stuff; can't wait to see pictures of your apartment with furniture in it. Hurry up and clean your room so we can see it!
BTW, did you get the hole fixed in your window yet?
