Busy Day

[msmoon]

Busy day today. After waking up around 9:30ish, I had a full breakfast and watched Thursday night’s CSI with the rents. Then, while cleaning up and waiting for them to get ready, I watched The Soup and The Girls Next Door. Then Dad, Mom and I all headed to town. We went to Home Depot – Mom and I coed over the plants (they had bamboo and bonsai!) – and Dad bought me a microwave. Then we went to Target, where Dad bought me several kitchen utensils and 2 plate sets. Let’s see if I can find them oneline….Oh yeah, here they are. So, my dad’s basically bought me a silverware set, a dinnerware set, a microwave, a coffe make/pot, oh yeah, and the bed. Man…I owe him so much ^.^ They also plan to take the old fridge out of the nexus and give me their second fridge, along with a freezer...and there’s a dishwasher going in that Dad has out in the shed, not to mention they just installed a new stove a few months ago. Dude. I am so getting a great deal on this.

Anywho! This shopping trip wasn’t all about me (I swear! It wasn’t!), we also went grocery shopping. After all that jazz, we finally got home and ate lunch. Mom and I had planned to clean out the cabinets in the nexus and take some measurements. I gotta admit, I certainly didn’t want to move after eating. Being out for any length of time make my legs and lower back hurt real bad, and I find that my nice, firm bed really helps to make that feel better…But that’s life, no?

I was very draggy after eating, but we did manage to clean up the yard a bit. I helped Mom a bit and then cut the grass, both my entire yard and Mom and Dad’s back yard. The grass was so thick, and there were so many things I had to be careful about on the mower. The renters left a lot of crap behind, not to mention tearing up the house more than we had thought they would. There were metal bits of God knows what lying all around that yard. Not to mention the bugs and thickness of the grass itself. I was constantly getting bit, and the mower was choking up. The inside of the house is pretty bad too. Something I didn’t notice before, some of the light sockets are ripped out, the dry wall around them torn up. Tons of holes are in the wall, some nails left behind. Not to mention the general filth that’s been left behind. I guess we just assumed they’d do a better job of cleaning up after themselves. Glad we didn’t give them the safety deposit back =.=
We did manage to take some measurements. I found out that the wall that I want those shelves on are a little over 7 ft tall by a little over 4 ft wide. So, I just need to find shelves that are 84 inches high by 48 wide….or a combination of those dimensions ( two 84 inch tall 24 inch wide shelves, four 42 inch tall by 24 inch wide shelves, etc). And hopefully, I can find some that are actually affordable. Wish me luck on that, everyone? I’m really gonna need it =_=

Also, after walking through the house and talking it over with Dad, he’s agreed that it might be best to ask Scamp’s dad (who happens to be a professional painter/carpenter) to take a look at the house and see what he could do. We aren’t sure about the flooring and all, but we are sure that he could help with both the wood paneling we want to put on the upstairs and the painting downstairs. Of course, since we aren’t the wealthiest people in the world, we won’t be able to do it all at once. So, we’ll just have to ask him to come out when we can afford the materials and then pay him for whatever he does at the time. It’s the only reasonable solution that I can see given the present circumstances.

Also, since I’m on the ‘Scampers’ subject, I probably should get to doing more of her banners =.= I had sent her some ‘demos’ of the ‘about me’ page but she never said which style she liked better, so I’m not sure…I can try my hand at the Ministry page at least. I think I’ll do that for now.
In other news, I’ve bought all the gifts that I am going to buy for my mother. She is done. I’ve decided to get Dad gift certificates to this store that he really loves (and he has gone on record saying “if you two get me gift certificates to this place till the day I die, I’ll be a happy man”). I have Bub’s gifts planed out, and I’m certain he’ll love them. I have Reiko’s Christmast gift, Chibi’s Birthday gift, and aI have part of both Scamp’s Birthday and Christmast gifts. Everyone else I know, is more than likely getting gift cards.

Tonight, I finished watching the 3rd season of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys (don’t judge me >.>), and I got a yen to watch Threshold again. So, I’m doing that now. I know I should probably watch the videos that Scamp left with me, but I had the idea to watch them during the week, right before she came so that I’d have them fresh in my mind and we could talk about them and all.

I guess that’ll be all for now (as if that wasn’t enough! God, but I can talk a lot -.-). See ya’ll later, sunshines.
