Stuff and Such

My time on the computer is limited, so I must type fast and try not to think too hard about. ;) I can already tell that this is going to be a very random post.

I hardly remember what I did today. It involved some cleaning, and reading but other then that I can't remember. This morning one of my favorite movies was on TV, so I got to tape it and will pull it out on another day. Technically we already have it on tape, but it is a horrible recording. Back before I knew the difference between taping on SP or SLP. (SP is superior quality to tape on just in case you didn't already know that. I love that I know how to use the VCR. This is a very important skill to perfect because we all know that VCR’s will be completely obsolete in just a few short years. lol This is funny to me.) Naomi and Alice were gone all afternoon, (See Naomi's post if you care to know where they went.) so I was alone for a good share of the day. It's nice at first, but then I miss noise. After a little while I turned on the TV in one room and music in the other, so I wouldn't feel alone.

I'm finally getting to exercise everyday again. Because the wedding threw everything all helter-skelter, it has been awhile. Whenever I've been out of the habit for an extended amount of time I start to think that I don't like to exercise. I have no clue as to why this is, but after a few days of getting back into it I'm all happy about it again. On Tuesday I missed half of the show that I wanted to do because I couldn’t find my sneaker. I procured one out of the closet, but the other is lost. On Tuesday and again today (On Wednesday I did Pilates, so it wouldn’t involve shoes) I wore my Keds, but moi wants her sneakers back. :P

Tonight after bringing home Subway for dinner, Naomi and I went to Borders. We had 30% off coupons and I had a gift card from Hannah to spend. (Thanks Han!) Every time I go to Borders the same scenario happens. I browse through the knitting magazines, stop quickly at the cd's, look at the new cook books, and then proceed to sit in the knitting book section. Tonight a woman joined me. She sat and flipped for a bit before picking a book to purchase. Normally I try to guess what people in the knitting section are looking for, but I was way off tonight. After some time the book she picked was called Puppy Knits . Personally, I don’t really care for dogs or pets of any kind, and I personally vow to NEVER EVER KNIT SOMETHING FOR AN ANIMAL TO WEAR! NEVER!!! That woman obviously needs some grandchildren. Ehem… back to my Border’s saga…Next I flipped through the same books, just in case I missed a cute pattern the last time I was in there. Eventually I will pick up this book and debate the rest of the time I am there whether on not I should buy it. Tonight I carried it almost to the checkout before abandoning it on the "New Releases" table. Again, I feel bad that I put it in the wrong spot, but don't walk and put it in its proper place. Images from a book we read when little called "This is What Would Happen If Everybody Did" flash through my mind as I pay, and I picture a Borders store where none of the books get put back where they came from. That is my Border's routine it happens every time without fail, and I hope next time I brows with someone who is going to be knitting for a child. What I did spend my birthday money on was some new music. This and this were added to my collection of atmosphere filler. Actually it isn't really new music because I owned a copy of Madeleine Peyroux and the other I hear and Micah's house whenever I am there. Maybe everybody isn't like this, but there is something about a copied cd that irks me, and there is just something I love about having a hard copy and the case with a picture of the artist on it. There was a good deal going this week for Borders members. Your's truly is a proud member especially when then e-mail me coupons. There was a two for twenty-two dollars sale going on that included some cds I wanted. Essentially you can get two cd's that would normally cost around eighteen bucks a piece for only eleven dollars each. Very nice. I am happy with my music, and they will be played and played until Alice tells me she is sick of them.

That is all I have to say for tonight.

Hahaha! How do you know that I will say that? Just because I got tired of Phantom of the Opera after about a million listenings...haha.

Oh, good. Now I know your Border's routine. I always lose you in there.
