A couple of days after that, my sister ran into the guy that I dreamt about...and his wife and kid.
While not impossible, the likelihood of running into them while randomly shopping for homegoods is rather low...you see, they live with his parents in the small town next to the small town where we went to high school. Said small towns are about an hour or so away from where he lives now...so, instances when we run into people we know from 'back home' are pretty rare.
Sooooo, yeah. It was a little bit eerie considering that I'd just randomly dreamt about him...
To think, I'd almost went to the store with my sister...and I'd have run into him, too! [Nope, nope, nope, nope....!]
No time for a full post today...so, how about another 'thinking points' post?
- In my opinion, the Sims 4 isn't really worth the money [or the internet connection that's required for installation!]. Sure, the graphics are better and there are new aspects that have been introduced to make the gameplay a little smoother...but it's pretty much the same as all of its predecessors. Though, I guess I didn't really expect otherwise.
- Are any of you familiar with the Whisper app? There are some...umm...interesting people on there, for sure.
- My sister has gotten me hooked on Gossip Girl. So...much...drama! [And fantastic clothes!]
- My kiddo seems to be having some anxiety about his new school...he's such a precious cinnamon bun and it breaks my heart for me to hear him say that he doesn't have any friends. School hasn't even been in for a full week yet, though. So, I'm hoping things get better for him within a day or two.
- Some people just don't know how to let things go. Very annoying.
- I bought some 'grown up' sheets over the weekend. I'd laughed at the thought of actually considering a thread count before buying sheets...but now I see the error of my ways! My new sheets are the best sheets ever!!!! They're seriously comfy! Here's looking at you, Egyptian cotton!
- Last week, I played through the latest chapter of TellTale's Game of Thrones. I'm distraught at some
of the decisions that the game forced me to make...why, TellTale? Why?!?
- I've been reading "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up" by Marie Kondo...I'm beyond ready to clear all of the junk and unnecessary clutter out of my life! I'm about halfway finished with her book and I'm dying to go ahead and get started implementing her genius methods...but I know I should finish reading it first so that the clearing-out doesn't end up being a half-hearted venture. Whenever you guys get a minute though, you should look-up her suggested technique for folding shirts...this lady is a genius!
Okey dokey...I apologize for the randomness of this quasi-post, but it's all I've got for now. Will post again soon!
Leaving this video here because "Sheets of Egyptian Cotton" is stuck in my head...and I always find myself humming it while shopping for sheets.
I'm going to try and get in the habit of posting more often...unfortunately, I still don't have internet at my new place, so that makes things a touch more complicated.
Soooo, I've got about 4 minutes to write out a quick post...here we go!
In an attempt to make my internet-less existence more entertaining, I purchased the latest rendition of the Sims game, Sims 4. Well...turns out that the purchase was in vain...
Do you see the teeny-tiny white writing next to the 'PC DVD-ROM' label? It reads 'internet connection required for installation.' And the writing is so discreet that I managed to miss it while in the store.
So, yeah.
Buying the game didn't work out. At all. Any tips for a bored chick?
Wow, it's been a long time since I've last posted...probably the longest lapse in posts since I've started this blog...which is kind of funny, one of my last posts celebrated this blog making it for a year...
Here's what all has been going on with me since I last posted:
- I finally moved out of my apartment! You know, the one with the terrible neighbors? [For funsies, read this, this, this, or this. All of which are lovely reminders of just how not-lovely my apartment experience has been]
The new apartment has been much better, in regards to noxious neighbors. However, the management staff is terrible. I don't know if they're all virtually brand new or just incompetent...but it's infuriating, either way. Plus, I'd paid for a couple month's worth of 'luxury-grade' amenities and hadn't been able to use them, at all, for various office-bungling reasons. Sooooo, yeah. That's been a hoot.
I managed to hire the worst moving company in the world. Seriously, guys...it was awful. And expensive. And I still had to move a ton of stuff by myself. Worst movers ever!
And because Charter is a terrible company with terrible customer service...I don't have any cable or internet at my new place. I've had 4 appointments with them...2 were flat-out missed without so much as a phone call from the technician or Charter's office. 1 was botched because the tech was ill-prepared and the other was with a tech who left in the middle of the install without even saying he was leaving. Seriously. He didn't even call in to say he had left the job either. Sooooo fed up with Charter right now.
- With moving to a new apartment comes moving kids to a new school zone...that's how it is where I live, anyway. [I'd hate to be the one that's responsible for drafting up the zoning map] So, I've been trying to register the kiddo with his new school and it's been needlessly complicated. Last I heard from his school's registrar, things are good to go, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the first day of school goes smoothly...
- Work has been crazy busy! I can typically find time to write out a quick post between working on reports, but that hasn't been the case for quite some time now...
- And for a bit of good news, I'm no longer a vehicular hobo!! Yep! I've finally got a car to replace the one that I wrecked last year...on my birthday.
- And, finally, my birthday was last week. I turned 30 and I hate it. But, let's not make a big deal out of it, okay? Thanks!
