Yo. Boy I’m tired. Today was closet assembly day, and I’m so glad it’s over...for now at least. I had Dad help me put together those little mini, stackable closets. It was a pain to figure out, but once we got it, we had it. But for a while it was just one disappointment after the nest. The cabinets, which I so admired, are made from cheap MDF. If we brushed one board against another, the wood would flake off and peel. It was disheartening. I mean, you pay so much for something like that, and it starts falling apart before your eyes before you’ve even got it assembeled. Also, there were either too many screws (among other thigns) or it seemed like we were ill-equipt. But witnessing that did make Dad decide to build me an enture unit to my specifications...then against I’m still waiting for that Unicron he promised he’d buy me when I was 6.

I took 3 pictures. One of my old (yucky) dresser, and then one of the bed with all the junk from the dresser on it. Then I took a picture of the little closet thingy in place. I will post those pictures at a later date when there are plenty of pics on my camera and I can justify going to CVS and having them put on CD.

For some reason, even though I bought a Kodak Easy Share camera, it doesn’t easily share. I asked Brian about it, and he said that it was due to some sort of bug...He went into techo-babble, which I didn’t understand but nodded and murmured politely. From what I can understand, Windows and Kodak just aren’t on speaking terms. He said something about how the USB port system is flawed though. Something about how you’re supposed to be able to plug the camera dock into any USB port and it’s supposed to work, yet somehow Windows doesn’t accept that...Just my luck I suppose.

So, yes, I love my closet/dresser/shelves/drawers, but I’m trying to focus on how nice they look, as opposed to the fact that they’re made out of cheap junk and will fall apart easily. I’ll talk to Dad and draw up some plan for my own dresser unit.

You may laugh, but I did draw my own plans for my bookshelves. My dad checked everything over and he says that all the measurements are accurate and well-planned. I’ve been discussing them for the past 6 weeks I’d say, and I can’t wait to see them go up. Here is a picture for your viewing pleasure. It’s very plain but all I needed were the measurements...and besides, I can’t even draw stick people. You think I’m gonna try furniture!

Well that’s all for tonight. I really need to give myself a pedicure...but I just haven’t made the time for it lately. Oh well. Goodnight.

try new things. You will probably make an excellent mid- to high-level

wake up one day when you're 55 wondering where your life went. Enjoy!
