So how are you doing today? Any plans for the weekend or are you just concentrating on making it through the day?

The vote is close this week (which considering the quality of writers competing this season sounds about right) so make sure that your voice is heard and your favorite(s) make it to the next round. http://community.livejournal.com/therealljidol/323518.html

I am sitting nicely in a patch of rare sunlight as I wait for my flatmates to get up.

It is 1:30 in the afternoon.

I have been up for almost 6 hours.

This is entirely normal for this household ;-)

Happy all of that. :)

I took yesterday off, so today I have a lot to do. Including moving a sofa from the front room down to my room. Which is harder than it sounds as it won't fit through the door frame. So we'll be taking it outside, down the steps from the deck, into the yard, and then in through my sliding glass door. First, though, I have to make room for it.

Then I have a full day of work (2 projects are due next week) and prepping for a guild meeting tomorrow. Tomorrow I have the guild meeting (now a nearly 2 hour drive away), then swinging by the old house to pick up more stuff and furniture. I think Sunday is free right now which is great.

I'm trying really hard not to obsess over the polls. :(

What? I am -never- first! :D

Sleeeepy. But I just keep refreshing the polls for some reason! It has nothing to do with being tied to be eliminated, nu uh... >>;

Gonna finish reading the rest of the entries today after school! ^^

Oh dear, good luck with the sofa! I had to help move a desk a few months ago ... turned on its side, it managed to fit through the door, but then needed one of us on each side to move it further. And it had needed both of us on the same side to turn it. I ended up wriggling my way through the empty drawer area in order to squeeze under the desk and through the door XD

Yeah, we measured and saw that the only way to get it in the door was to twist it. Well, it has a pull out mattress, so that idea was nixed. This way, we should be able to put it on a furniture dolly and just roll it out into the backyard and then back into my room through the sliding glass door (which is much wider than my bedroom door). I just have to play tetris with the furniture and stuff I do have first.

I'm going to see my dad who I haven't seen in a year and a half! :D I'm a daddy's girl so it kinda sucks he lives so far away.

I have today off, but not by choice.

I'll be back Sunday sometime, possibly Monday.

HASTA!

Furniture-tetris!! That's brilliant XD

I believe a trip to the mall is about to ensue. I can't believe Spring Break is nearly over. I'm a bit sad about that.

Although I am taking two days off next week, so I can't get too sad!

Either way, 5:30 Monday morning is going to be tough...

[identity profile] mstrobel.livejournal.com 2010-04-02 12:49 pm (UTC)(link)
5:30 in the morning should not exist. Unless you're staying up until 5:30 in the morning.

[identity profile] onda-bianca.livejournal.com 2010-04-02 12:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha, I *completely* agree!:)

[identity profile] stormkitty.livejournal.com 2010-04-02 12:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I'm going from two rooms in a house to one room here. And it's a lot harder than I thought it would be. As it is, putting the sofa in here makes it very tight, but I need somewhere other than my office chair to sit, and I'd like to have a place for friends to sit when they come visit. Right now, my bed is a mattress on the floor until I can get the rest of my stuff, so that's not a comfy place to sit, either. I'll be so glad when it's all done.

The illustrious duo of [livejournal.com profile] baxaphobia and [livejournal.com profile] imafarmgirl are coming over for dinner tonight, so there will be cooking and cleaning for me today!

I have read just over half the entries, so still more for me to do!

"aka Some People Get to Have the Day Off (But Not Me)"

*raises hand* Witness. There *is* a chance at early release today, though...

So I am (slowly) getting ready for work, slightly less cold-ish than yesterday. Did not manage to do much reading yet; hoping I can fit enough in! We have family plans this weekend, and a...erm...family member's special occasion (so as not to totally out my RL identity)...so can you wish my...family member...a happy special occasion? :)

TGIF, for reals.

getting ready to head out to a doctor's appt. and run some errands...

Happy Friday! Hopefully I will get to leave work early. And then, I will catch a bus to Maine. And then I will be much more happy.

I will not have a Bunny visit on Sunday, though. Oh well.

Got my voting done, miraculously enough. Huzzah.

Also, thanks again everyone for the encouragement and congratulations yesterday. You guys are awesome.

I woke up at 4:15 and never got back to sleep! Hello caffeine! I'll be back later when I don't have to comment from my iPod. :) happy Friday.

Woo! Congrats! =)

We get a half-day off today, w00. I only have to work until 11:45 (aka 2.25 more hours... not that I'm counting).

Once I escape this place, there will be shopping for stuff to put into Easter baskets (not exclusively candy - sometimes DVDs and other miscellaneous stuff make appearances). On Sunday I'll be having lunch with the [livejournal.com profile] minikin clan at a place called Country Cookin' By George, which I've never eaten at before, and for dinner we'll be grilling out brats and burgers at our place, seeing as the weather is so nice.

Beyond that, I'm thinking it might be a good idea to write up something about Making Fire, on the off chance that I may need it this round...

Jealous! I would love to have dinner with the two of them. Or with you!

[identity profile] onda-bianca.livejournal.com 2010-04-02 01:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Golly, all the cool LJI kids know each other! I'm jealous!

[identity profile] morning-stand.livejournal.com 2010-04-02 01:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I am up early because I have to work early. Apparently Good Friday is not that much of a holiday where I live, because everything is open and we'll probably be busy at work.

I am excited for my chocolate bunnies this weekend though :)

[identity profile] morning-stand.livejournal.com 2010-04-02 01:57 pm (UTC)(link)
You know now that you mentioned Making Fire, Gary is going to go looney tunes and change the tiebreaker topic ;)

[identity profile] roina-arwen.livejournal.com 2010-04-02 02:16 pm (UTC)(link)
I know, right? Although it might be fun to write about "making water" LOL! ;)

[identity profile] roina-arwen.livejournal.com 2010-04-02 02:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Me too! Although Bax and I did get to meet once for dinner when she was in Louisville. =)
