so I’m on my own,

so I’m on my own, at least until the 4th. Chad took off for eastern WA to visit Lance & go biking, as we’d agreed, altho a little sooner than I was expecting. he took the new wagon.

yes, the new wagon. it still feels a little unreal to me – both that we have a new car, and that I can afford one. I still wish we could’ve afforded a Volkswagen, but…oh well.

actually, this has been a pretty good week for new stuff. we finally bought those OXO pots & pans we saw that one time at Fred Meyer – on clearance! I set up our epersonae email accounts (thank you, Suzanne!), and I’m getting the hang of doing ODBC connections with PHP. (the extended learning intranet site is going to KICK ASS.)

but right now I’m feeling sort of sleepy and bored. I actually don’t know what to do with myself tonight. the house is messy, but I don’t feel like cleaning. I don’t really feel like being a sooper-geek and working into the evening, although if I got started on a project, I’d probably be working on it until the middle of the night. 🙂 I guess I could go out, but where the hell would I go? argh. I wish there was something fun to do in Lakewood.

I think I know what I want to do over the weekend, though:

  • go to the Bead Festival!
  • clean & do laundry. (woo-hoo.)
  • rearrange the office-like space & get the computer into a slightly more ergonomic zone.
  • clean up my hard drive…maybe reformat, if I feel masochistic.
  • figure out whether I
    1. can afford, or
    2. want

    a new processor – PIII, 600mhz or so, slot 1.

  • send Matt my round robin.
  • do some other writing.
  • and do something fun with Kat.

Whew. sounds like it could be a very full weekend, even with it all to myself.
