life

Why is it that all the bargains and cool things come into my life when I am completely broke, and magically disappear when I have a little bit of money? My to-purchase list is quite large right now. It’s mostly stuff to make my office more functional as well as a more enjoyable place to sit in. I’m trying not to get consumer-lust since that means that I’ll make a bunch of random purchases of things I don’t really need. I’m not really interested in a case of buyer’s remorse right now. I’m also not interested in buying junk that isn’t quite what I want just because the price is right. I don’t want to settle – everything costs too much money for settling for almost perfect.

Being a grownup and working hard for your money really sucks sometimes.

2004 wore me out. I’m looking forward to 2005. I’ve done and learned a lot this year.

I really want to rework this site. I bought myself a new computer after Christmas so using a computer at home is fun again.

I want to rework a lot of things in my life right now. Don’t worry though, I’m not getting divorced – I really like being married.

Happy New Year.

I’m still here.

I haven’t fallen off the face of the earth.

I have just been stupid busy. Between some very busy times at work, school (just saw that I got an A+ on my Illustrator II class-yay!), trying to have a life (life? what’s that?), managing life in the new (now not so new) house and planning for the wedding, I’ve been a touch busy. Oh, and my computer was acting up for about three months cuz someone (not me!) bumped a piece of RAM outta position, and my computer would not do much of anything before crashing repeatedly, so I used Sean’s machine for necessities and not much else. Pretty pathetic all around I’d say.

The renewal is coming up for both this domain and my webhosting, and I’m just not ready to give this up yet. I suppose I really should redesign though, or at least update the pictures…I never did put up my San Francisco pics from last year’s trip.

Oh, had I said I was getting married before? I know I said engaged, but now it’s real. The invites went out on Tuesday, and we are getting married on June 26th. I’m not going bridezilla yet, but I’m getting really, really excited. 🙂 things are getting finalized, thanks to my mom, Doug Sean’s mom and my sister, not to mention everyone in the bridal party, and oh yeah, Sean.

My wedding reception is going to have fireworks. That is going to be so frigging cool!

Trying to post more…

For the last two days there has been an occasional cacophony of yowling, growling and hissing as bucKley gets used to his new friend Jasco. Jasco is our friend Andy’s cat, and they both live with us now. The two cats currently sound like that Jingle Cats music that you hear around Christmas time, but with more growling and hissing. No swipes have been taken yet, but they tend to stick to separate floors so they don’t cross each other’s paths. Jasco is cuddlier than I remember him being – I think he likes having people around. (Andy is a shift worker, and lived alone so the cat was often by himself.) I’m worried that bucKley is getting jealous, and we are trying to pay equal amounts of attention to both cats. It’s hard though, since bucKley has taken to spending most of his day hiding in the basement, coming up only to growl at Jasco and hiss at Andy for bringing this intruder in.

In other news, my sister is now married – the wedding was two week’s ago and all went very well. I was her maid of honour, and she was not a bridezilla. Now I have no excuse to not plan Sean’s and my wedding. However, an island wedding seems to be calling our names. (If you know a Toronto travel agent who can hook us up with something reasonable, let me know – thanks!)

Beyond that, everything in my life is same old, same old. Ridiculously busy at work, still taking night courses (my last course for my DTP diploma ends on Tuesday – must do homework!) and my house is still a disaster. Not as bad as when we were in the apartment, since there is more space now, but still not as clean as I’d like it to be. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

We’ve been in the house for almost a month now. I guess we must be fairly settled, cuz it feels much longer than that. I’m really happy here. I finally feel like there is room to move around. To actually do things rather than just sit amongst the clutter. My home, and by extension, my life doesn’t feel so cluttered anymore.

It’s been a wild three months. A major trip, Sean’s and my engagement, deciding we want to buy house, buying said house and moving into it. It hardly feels real. I turned 25 on August 31st, and I still feel like a goofy 17 year old most of the time. Albeit a 17 year old with credit cards and the ability to buy liquor, lottery tickets and porn. But I don’t feel as adult as my circumstances warrant, and I haven’t yet decided if that’s a good thing or not.
