Busy Busy
For crying out loud Melody, I am not slacking, I am BUSY! Right now I am at work, risking the wrath of my boss by writing on my blog while I am supposed to be working. Actually, I doubt he would be TOO wrathful, and technically I have nothing to do. I'm sure he would give me something to do, but I'm also sure that it would be more trouble for him than it would be worth.
Anyway, the busyness factor...as Heather knows, my sister suckered me into having a Partylite candle show, because she needed one more booking from her party to get some more free stuff, so I did it. And let me tell you, it is a lot of work to host one of those buggers. I have been busy collecting orders and all that nonsense all week, not to mention the work involved in trying to figure out what I want to order with my beautiful free shopping spree and discounted items.
Besides all that trauma, Justin and I are looking for an apt. for July and I have spent all week circling ads, making a chart to check off which apartments have the features we want, and calling the aforementioned apartments. Let me tell you it is not that easy to find an apt. with a garage or underground parking and a washer and dryer hook up in the apartment all for under $750, especially on the West side. But have no fear, we will prevail. Actually the apartment he's currently renting has all those amenities and a second bathroom for $735, but he doesn't want to live there anymore because some noisy people moved in upstairs and it's right across from the police station and the fire station, so there are loud sirens at all hours of the night.
Can I just say that I actually got to watch American Idol this week (due to the fact that the NBA Championships have taken over TNT and Law and Order is MIA) and I was shocked and horrified. Why oh why was Joshua Gracin not voted off??? What is this world coming to? And does anyone think that anyone over the age of 14 who is not a gay man (a very tasteless gay man) will buy a Justin Guarini album? Also, in spite of my disgust for all reality shows romantic, I did get suckered into watching Mr. Personality, and then found myself drawn in by the hideousness of it all. It was especially entertaining that two guys totally chickened out, knew they were going to lose, and took off their masks to make a preemptive strike. Come on people, take it like a man!
Bugger it, I have only wasted 14 minutes of this interminable day...an hour and a half left to go, and with my luck the mail will be late, and I will have nothing at ALL to do the entire time I'm here.
