Anyone interested in a queen sized mattress and box spring? Free, you just have to pick it up at mi casa.
It's still in great shape, a mattress cover was always used under the sheets.
No pee stains!!!
Let me know, the sooner it's gone, the better!!
Current mood:  sleepy

Scott and I broke and bought a mattress the other day. I haven't had a good nights sleep in forever and I wake up every morning with lower back pain. Funny cuz when we did the sleep test (which is cooool) he noted that the lower part of my back slopes a lot so I need a firm mattress. We ended up with a nice pillow top one and it's going to be delivered next week already! yikes. Figured we'd take advantage of the Jordan's deal while it was out there, plus I have 6 months to pay for it.
So - we have a pretty okay queen sized mattress (with box spring) if anyone needs it. There's nothing really wrong with it. Just that we need something firmer. I bought it about 8-9 years ago? It's a Sealy. I was the only one that slept on it for most of those years - scott and I both for the last year. I used a mattress pad on it the whole time and there are NO body fluid stains on it : ) Yay for that.
Delivery is the 25th - we live in Tewksbury and Scott is here all day during the week if you want to pick it up. There's a small window of time to pick it up - pretty much the day they drop off the mattress... no earlier and no later.
Current mood:  good

Okay the fact that I just got to drive my boss to her lunch in her Benz made the day a LITTLE better.

I can't wait for my cousin's wedding this weekend. Get to be all pretty and stuff... fun. Although I'm seriously dreading the "when are YOU getting married????????" thing. Seriously, not in the mood for people to be asking me that question and I don't feel like flipping out at any family members.
Maybe I should make a sign to hold up every time someone asks?? Or maybe I should just do what my sister used to do (before she got married) - rub my belly and say "oh after the baby is born!".
Yeesh.

My day was full of nothing, useless TV shows and failed attempts at projects around the condo.
I decided I was going to spray the ceiling vents, so I picked the vent near the sliding door and unscrewed it. Well one screw came out and the other... well it was errrr really really stuck. Couldn't find the cordless drill, so secided I didn't want to strip the nail head doing it manually so I went to put the other nail in. Not so hard right? Well the ridge thingies wouldn't grip back into the ceiling soooo now the vent is being held up by tape until I can get scott to help me. Yeah.
It's kinda hard to type this when my cat keeps licking the computer screen and sitting on the keyboard. Shoo!
Anywho. So then I decided to prepare the ceiling above the tub (which we left white, but I think should be yellow like the rest of the room). So I cleaned it and filled in some chips with puddy stuff and sanded it. Then I realized the paint is up in the attic and I'm too lazy to go up there and fish out the can in that stuffy hell. Grrr.
THEN I thought maybe I'll go to Lowes and try to get going on that wall in the dining room, but that was cut short when I realized I would need someone to help me move the wine server before I started to paint.
DAMNIT.
So I pretty much gave up.
I DID touch up the ceiling with some white paint where the wall color got on it (from when we painted WAY back in October... yeah late much?). Now when I look up I don't see color smudges and that makes me happy : )
I'm mad that I can't find my blue Saucony sneaks - did I give them away? Hmph. But I DID find these super sexy dressy heels that I forgot I had! weee. I have a lot of shoes. yeah. <3
Tomorrow I'm picking up my nephew and we are heading into Boston. First stop is my work to pick up tickets and then to the RedSox game. I HOPE the rain holds off or at least stops by the time the game starts. He is SO excited and even made a little sign to bring. He's so cute. I can't wait. Please rain stay AWAY! Damn rain.
Night night kids.... off to bed ... alone : ( WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.
Current mood: good

My darling cat thinks it's fun to play behind the TV in all the wires. Augh He's back there right now and I can't get to him and I SWEAR if he disconnects something while Scott is gone I'm going to freak out - as I have NO clue how to put this freakin system together and if I have no TV to keep me entertained until Tuesday I'll lose my cool.
First thing that has to be done when Scott gets home is kitty-proof the entertainment center so he can't get back there.
I swear he gets into EVERYTHING.
No beach today as my sister is pooped, so I'm sitting here thinking of things to do. I could tan a little bit more on my deck, go to the mall and try and find a dress for the wedding I have to go to in september, call my friend Theresa in hopes that she is maybe available to hang tonight (I haven't seen her in a while), clean up a little more around here, maybe go to lowes and buy paint for the dining room, spray paint the ceiling vents... and the list goes on and on and on....
But do I have motivation? Nope. LOvely.
Current mood:  okay

So it is possible to sunbathe topless on my deck (second floor) without anyone seeing me...
at least I don't think they saw me ... and if they did... yay for them.
Man it's WAY hot out - way too hot for a top for sure. ; )
And off to make my lasagna.
Still alone though. Boo whore.
Current mood: blah

Okay I just downed a homemade "sundae" and now I'm sick! Augh. Sounded like a good idea when I went to the store.... hey I'm all alone now... why not drown myself in ice cream? Yeah!
I think it's major pms... but i'm already sad being alone : ( I didn't want Scott to see how sad I was for him to go - he's so excited to go and I'm excited that he has this opportunity, so I didn't want him to feel bad. Waaa waaa... okay enough of this crapola.
Damn PMS
And it hasn't even been a day yet! hmph....
::barf::
Current mood:  sad
7:04PM
I'm thinking about going to the beach tomorrow. Probably just taking my butt and beach chair to Revere Beach to get some sun and reading a magazine or book... nothing fancy. If anyone is up for joining me... let me know. Probably heading down after lunch.
12:00PM
Still sick. Spent the last two days of my precious vacation on the couch coughing and blowing my nose. A good time really. Must get myself some Tylenol daytime. The nighttime stuff makes the coughing stop before I go to sleep. It's quite lovely.
Tomorrow this shit better be gone from my system like magic. I'm tired of feeling like crap and sitting around the house. Not fun.
In 5 hours I'm driving Scott to the airport and then I have no clue what. Probably just coming home and resting so I can feel better. Money is super tight, didn't realize how much money I don't have to pay the mortgage. Pretty much whatever I get paid on Friday from work is being turned around and given to the bank. Hmph. The only thing that is making this okay is that I get 3 paychecks this month (I get paid biweekly). Yay!
Okay no more typing nonsense that nobody cares about. : ) Later
Current mood:  sick

Yeah wow... I have NO voice right now. Damn. Went to a family bbq at my parent's house. It was kind of a "housewarming" thing for the fam to see my parents new place. Since they moved in during the fall/winter and then did a bunch of renovations in the house, they didn't have a chance until now to do it. Just my dad's side (with the exception of my grandparents on my mom's side) it was a full house! Immediate family on my dad's side is like 40-50 people. Had a great time though. I rarely see my cousins, so it was nice.
So I still feel like crap. Thank GOD I don't have to go to work tomorrow... or the next day... or the day after that... etc etc.
After Tuesday Scott is gone on his trip for a week, so I have to make some phone calls so I can go visit some peeps.
I hope this sick crap goes away pronto... PRONTO.
I'm tired.

Stayed home sick again today. I'm super miserable. I'll go from being okay to not so good to OOOOh boy I feel like shit.
We really need to get a thermometer as I believe I ran a pretty high fever at some point today and then proceeded to sweat my ass off for 30 minutes. Good thing of course. I was even contemplating using my digital meat thermometer... heh
Oh and my hairdryer broke... damnit!

Oooooooooh look I'm sick... just great!
The cat thinks it's just great that i'm home because he can sit on me, climb on me and everything. Weee. Like right now he is in between me and my laptop on my lap....and won't budge.
Okay time for lunch. I'm starved.
hmph!
Current mood: sick

Oh what a LOVELY day out. Yeesh. So grey and gloomy! Glad I didn't pick this week for vacation. Next week better be nice! Damnit.
Scott seemed a little better with some rest. He was sleeping when I got home yesterday and managed to crawl out of bed and shower. Hung out a little watching TV and then we both pretty much just passed out. I woke up on the couch at 2am and Scott was in bed. So I turned everything off, checked to make sure he was still alive and camped out on the couch so I wouldn't catch any of his germs. The kitty slept with me pretty much the whole night. A little difficult seeing as the couch isn't realllly made to be slept on and fitting just me is a challenge in itself. Ah well. Got an okay sleep considering.
I'm hungry today and would kill for a bagel loaded with cream cheese. MMMMMMMMMM.... but I won't. : ( Weighed myself this morning and the damn numbers won't budge. Only TWO pounds down from where I was back in April. This is seriously upsetting. I've been doing a ton of cardio too, which should be making the pounds drop, but no... because I have the slowest metabolism known to man. Hate.

Scott is in bed with the sickness of DOOM. Seriously he is a hot mess right now.... yikes.
I better not get sick damnit!!!!!
Now time for a peanutbutter and jelly sammich. Mmm.
Current mood: hungry
Thursday, July 31, 2008
Goddamn it. Figured I'd give myself a little treat and have a slice of pizza for lunch (with a side salad). Of course that landslided into a big ass M&M brownie afterwards.
Ice cubes for dinner it is!
Okay I'm exaggerating, but definitely NO treat tonight. I'm going to have a simple dinner, go out shopping for new kicks, come home, shower, get stuff ready for tomorrow and then bed.
BAD BAD Stephanie! BAD!

And the peeling begins!!! It wouldn't be so bad, but it's RIGHT in the center of my back between my shoulder blades and it itches like HELL! And I can't even reach to put cream on it... have to wait until Scott gets home later. ::grumbles::
I made a joke last night that one day Scott will come home from work and find me on the kitchen floor in a giant puddle of lotion in desperation. Doesn't sound so bad right now actually!
I have the hungry horrors today... man. I only have fruit left for snacks.
Dinner out tonight. I somehow have to behave, I'll be good though, it's a steakhouse so it shouldn't be that hard. Sigh sigh sigh.
Today is a snoozer. I'm trying to enjoy it because the boss is back tomorrow and I'll be running around like a crazy woman.
Current mood:  bored

Oooooooh and today gets better! I won a $150 gift certificate to a spa on Newbury Street! Wooooooooo!
It was a fitness thing they had here in work... kinda like a workshop/event. I never win anything! Maybe I need to go get me a scratch ticket too! ; )
Current mood: ecstatic
9:38AM
My back is so goddamn itchy. Waaaaaaaa. I know I'm going to be shedding like a snake shortly. Just great. Hmph.
I've been craving chocolate cake.... like really rich chocolate cake with homemade chocolate frosting. Mmmm. I made that before for a dinner party we had, must make it again. ::nod::
Work has been chill so far. My boss is out of the office Monday - Wednesday, so that gives me some downtime as well as all the catching up that is necessary with this job. It's easy for stuff to be put on the backburner and forgotten about. You cannot miss a beat in this department or else you are in big doo doo.
Some company through Home Depot is coming to the condo tonight to take a look at our windows and give us a free estimate on how much it would cost us for new windows and installation. Definitely NOT doing work this year (no money), but it would be nice to know what we are in for. I only have 4 windows, so it should be THAT bad. Hopefully. The windows are major crap and are original to the condo. They are plastic and wood and are hard to open and the screens are the one piece kind and are NOT safe at all for the kitty - if you push on them they will just fall out... not good! This coming Saturday another company is coming to take a look at our bathroom. The tub most definitely needs to be replaced as it is old, brittle and the finish on it is completely gone and cleaning it is a bitch. I hate bath fitters! So that would be next year as well. I'd like to do tile all around the tub area... a new sink (pedestal!) and a new toilet..... all WHITE - none of that almond crap they have going on in there. YUCK.
Definitely not happening this year as I still need to pay Sears and Jordan's. Yay me.
Did I mention I'm itchy? grr.
