Day 195 through 197

Whatever.

I've been feeling under the weather lately. Which is strange, because normally I'm under the weather unless I'm on a SPACE ADVENTURE! Anyway, I'm a bit sick. You'll have to forgive me. Or don't.

So first, I've got this little balloon flower. At a yogurt shop near where I work, it was their first birthday, so they gave out free yogurt for 1-1/2 hours. There was a friend's mom making these balloon animals and flowers and hearts, so I had to grab a picture of one. There was a little 8 month old boy next to us who didn't wake up after two different balloons popped. His parents even let him play with a small balloon dog for a bit - it was cute.

Next, here, I've got dusty outlines. There were small rubber animals - a dolphin and a whale - that were sitting on my old desktop monitor. I finally got all the junk off of my old computer moved to my laptop and moved the desktop and all its accessories and things to the back room. of course I dusted the monitor off first, but I had to grab a shot of this. I've had this computer for a long time. And there was so much junk on it. After moving many of the files, it was running a lot smoother than I remembered. I've still got Microsoft Office 2007 on it which takes up a lot of the RAM and C: drive, but that's just about the only thing that's even left on the computer.

Lastly, there's this "omnomnom" face. She works at the yogurt place that was giving the free food. I also know her from high school. She looks like a panda, whether she agrees or not (and whether her sister agrees or not as well). I was pretty happy to hand off Pit section leadership to her and the other girl that does it. From what she told me, their section gets along really well. That makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.

Anyway, I've got to grab some medicine. It was a pleasure to get updated again. Also, I bought a new TV. Pictures to be posted of it later. Hurrah.

Day 192, 193

Blargh! I really think I might just be doing a whole "post every other day" deal or something. I've actually been doing stuff lately! Mostly cleaning out my room. Which is what half of this post is about.

Picture: ROOM!

Background: I got the wall unit out of this room! It took a bit of convincing to move it to a different room, but it's all good...I hope. The TV got pushed up against the wall, sort of. It's still at an angle so I can watch it while trying to get some sleep. I desperately need to vacuum, but I think I'll do that after everything is done with. I still have that desk - I'm not sure if I want to move it out or just keep it in my room. It would be easiest to keep it in my room for now, so that'll probably end up being what I do. Fortunately you can't see the huge mess that's blocking the way to my bed. It includes weird things like shoes, my hamper, unmade marimba mallets, a paintbrush-notepad, and over $20 in rolled coins. It's amazing what you may find when you don't clean out your room for most of your life.

The other picture is something that you don't see every day - myself without glasses. I feel awkward taking pictures of myself because I don't want to turn into "that person" that takes those dumb mirror pictures or with the camera at arm's length away. That's right, I'mma callin' you OUT! Either way, it's me. Woo hoo. I've had glasses since 2nd grade. Wednesday, March 31, 1999 to be exact. Don't ask my why I remember the exact date, or the fact that I was late for school and arrived in the middle of music class. I've tried contacts, yeah, but I don't like poking my eye with my finger. It freaks me out a bit. I don't know if it was the camera flash, but I remember my eyes being more blue than that...
