When I buy new appliances, I tend to have that luck where they break down the day after the warranty expires. My new fridge, on the other hand, decided to act up right away (which is probably not good luck either). I need some new component already, and it’s only a month old. Let’s hope I didn’t buy a lemon of a fridge.
My landscaping is coming along. A kid from here in town (I call him a kid because he is younger than me, but we share the same birthday) creates Random Stone Retaining Wall Systems. It looks nice so far. I’ll add pics soon. I also have decided on sodding over seeding after the sprinklers are in, and hope I can get that done yet before winter.
And I’ve been power shopping for decor for the house. How come most things come “assembly required”? Me with a power drill is not a pretty site.
Me dressed up for Halloween is not the prettiest of all sites either. Call me a hypocrite for turning down 3 potential date offers over the weekend telling them all I’m too busy to date. But I really was busy. I volunteered to help with a Halloween party for kids. I wanted to dress up as a pregnant nun, but figured that was inappropriate for the occassion. So I dressed up as a Geisha complete with komino, black bun, chopsticks, fan, the works.
Anyone else watch Nip/Tuck on FX? Crazy stuff. Maybe I should be looking for a plastic surgeon myself. A breast enhancement, tummy tuck and little liposuction would be nice.
When I first got divorced, an online casino company offered me 400 times more money for a domain name than what I paid for it. I figured that was a good return on an investment, so I said Show Me the Money. My first intention was to have a little plastic surgery. Thought it would boost my self-esteem. But I kept debating that I also want a man to like me for me, for my brains and not my beauty. My other idea was to put the money away for a lavish wedding… if I ever find Mr. Right to marry. Until I do decide, I’ll keep it nicely tucked away in a money market account.
My friend and I both read the book and used the techniques on our boyfriends. They were seriously eating out of our hands. We both gave the book rave reviews and recommended it to all our other friends (Note, it worked for married couples as well). But once I got him hooked, lined and sunk, I realized that I was just not that into him. I seem to have that problem once the chase is over.
I’m not much of a book reader. I don’t even like to read long newspaper articles. But I did read the Bitch Book in its entirety. Twice. Right now I’m reading 20 Times a Lady by Karyn Bosnak. Karyn was that chick that created SaveKaryn.com and got strangers to pay off her credit card bills. Smart Girl. And she can write, too. The dating humor reminds me a little of The Year of Yes by Maria Dahvana Headley. (click for my review).
