<-- my life, by webgoddesscathy --> :: Thursday, July 13, 2006 :: Exciting news! Heather had her baby! Almost equally exciting is that I found out about the news while checking my email via my cell phone! Yes, I was on the phone with Telus yesterday, trying to figure out how to reduce my cell phone bill when they offered me this SPARK plan (which is a whole bunch of bells and whistles including web, email, text messaging, MSN messaging) for free for two months! Well, of course I got it for Alex, since he uses that stuff. And then I realized that it also includes the voice mail and caller ID that I currently pay $7 for and decided I might as well get that free for two months while I'm trying out a bunch of features that I probably will never use again. So I'm an exciting member of the Tech Geek Community now! And Heather is a mother. Kind of dwarfs everything, doesn't it? :: Cathy 5:52 AM [+] :: 0 comments :: Tuesday, July 11, 2006 :: I'm feeling so great! Yesterday, I was a bit down in the dumps about how little I got accomplished on the weekend. I was frustrated about the construction zone that I called "home." Then, Sara (with no 'h') came to help me out again! We set up the back bedroom so that you can actually MOVE in it. Total relief, because now I can actually get at my clothes and move the crap out of the hallway. Yay. Then she sanded part of the banister while I taped the upstairs hallway. Then we painted. Team Cathy Sara is a smokin painting team! We got the whole first coat DONE and I even got a second coat of the trim. Tonight we'll finish the second coat and get some other projects out of the way. Nothing I like more than getting something accomplished! :: Cathy 5:48 AM [+] :: 0 comments :: Sunday, July 09, 2006 :: Well, leave it to Alex and I to focus on a low-priority item to eat up our Sunday. We bought a BBQ. It's a Thermos, 3-burner, 36,000 BTUs, cast-iron grill that we got at Canadian Tire. We got a pretty good price, plus I got to use my Canadian Tire christmas coupon to help pay for it. So we bought all the necessary accessories. A cleaning brush. Some utensils, including a basting brush. And then then propane tank. All said and done, it cost over $300, but at least we'll have a BBQ for our house warming party. By the way, on that score, we've figured out the best day is July 29th. It's a Saturday. So I'll try to send out an evite soon. Please plan to drop by that day/evening! It's a combination birthday/house-warming party, actually. It'll be only 3 days after my, uh, 25th birthday. Actually, I'm not at all shy about the fact that I'll be 31. I think I'm going to try a redo of my 30th birthday, which was a bit of a debacle. Anyway, I didn't manage to get the hallway/stairway painted, like I'd planned this weekend. I did manage to get the bannister stripped. I also got a few more of Alex's boxes unpacked. And I got lots of groceries. I just need to get most of this big stuff done before the house warming, so people don't feel like they're stepping into a war zone. I get so anxious about it all. I just have to focus on the next task so I don't get overwhelmed. And I have to stop being bitter about doing most of the work - I'm choosing to do that work. But I just can't stand living in the clutter and the filth. I want a nice clean house sometime soon. So the next question: do I replace the gutters myself? Or do I get a professional to do it? :: Cathy 7:07 PM [+] :: 2 comments
