 I am so done with this year, OMFG...

My AC died yesterday (up until last night, it was in the mid 80s here in Hades) and the guy came out today to look at it. He replaced the capacitors but is not certain as to whether or not the compressor was permanently damaged. If these capacitors burn out, I will need to buy a new unit. Oh yeah, baby. A new unit. Today's visit cost $400, bringing this past month's emergency expenditures over the $2K mark.

Also, (sorry for the TMI) I have a very painful cyst in a horrible spot and the pain and embarrassment is just ridiculous.

The cold front (or as I like to call it, the "not as hot front") has kicked something into the air that is driving my allergies bonkers.

What else? Oh, yeah - JP's computer is on the fritz and I am starting to have small issues with mine. Joy.

I do have one good piece of news, though: we went to see the free movie at the small art house theater tonight, Breakfast at Tiffanys. It was awesome and I won 2 movie passes and a popcorn voucher for correctly identifying the group that sang the song 'Breakfast at Tiffanys.' Go, me.

Okay, this week has kicked my ass over the river and through the woods. Time to go lie down and contemplate what I will do if we have another emergency (so far my contingency plan looks a little something like this: 1. Run away  2. Buy a disguise. Possibly a fake mustache).

Night, all.

I am almost completely off for a whole week!!! I just have a couple of things to work on from home and I am sure I will get getting a million calls on Monday when they move the servers and test them, but otherwise I am in the clear. SWEET FREEDOM!!!!

I got my hair colored at the beauty school again and the lovely young gay man who worked on me asked if I wanted my make up done. I knew it was a mistake, but I said yes and he shellacked it on! I mean, the actual eye and lip stuff was fine, but the base! He used a paintbrush! I can't stand that shit on my face and I don't care what anyone says, I think it makes you look older, not younger. At least the makeup part was complimentary - they just do it to practice or for funsies. I left looking like a J. Lo drag queen. But Kate was a sweetheart and he did a good job coloring my hair so I forgive him for the 5 pounds of makeup he troweled on.

I have already started Christmas shopping for some stuff. I don't love to do it, but I get a kick out of wrapping and giving the presents. That is my favorite part, alongside the baking and the Christmas music and the baby Jesus. LOL. ♥ ♥ ♥

I have some good news on the job front (I think), although I can't disclose anything until the deed is done...sometime in February of next year.

So, we went ahead and bought a 55" Toshiba TV at Sears - it was on sale and they were offering $110 Sear's Rewards dollars to use in the store, so we jumped on it. It's very...big. Like, I need to knock down a wall and move the couch back big. o_O I also bought JP the sound system he wanted and we are going to upgrade the TiVo, so no more personal spending for me this holiday! But I am satisfied...we have been looking to buy a second TV for awhile now. Two televisions in the house! How decadent! ^_~ That makes me feel like I am successful...although I don't think anyone else would consider it that way.

In other news, we ate hot wings for dinner last night and now my stomach is giving me a what for - hopefully it settles down because later JP and I want to check out a state park.

Thanks, [personal profile] white_death...I...I don't know what to say about this one:


Flamboyant? Not so much. But I'll cop to the whole good-humored facade hiding the darkness within. *rolls around laughing* Am I charismatic? For reals? Who or what are we measured against? ^_~
