Oy Vey

Ok, quick post at work while I’m in between projects.

Our cable has been out since Saturday afternoon so I haven’ been able to get online or watch TV since then. I’m not exactly sure what to attribute it to since the bad storms and tornadoes were a couple days prior. I finally called Time Warner yesterday morning to schedule an appointment with a technician for today. Here’s hoping they can fix it.

I finally sat down last night to do some scrapping, but I didn’t finish mostly because I just didn’t have the energy or the patience. I do plan on finishing the layout I started and posting it once we get the cable working again.

Living with Jabari wavers between delightful and, well, not so delightful, mostly due to the fact that there are 2 of us in a 750 square foot apartment with vaulted ceilings nonetheless in the middle of a Texas summer. You do the math. On the other hand, getting to see him every day often outweighs the sweltering indoor temperatures and the inevitable high electricity bill. I look forward to the day when we can move into a bigger place on the ground floor. On the other hand, I don’t look forward to moving again.

But I guess that’s what our new moving fund is going to be for :)

This Town Ain’t Big Enough For the Two of Us

I took this photo last week before her haircut. She kept giving Portable Izzie the evil stare. There’s another photo I took of Izzie opening her chompers, ready to take a bite out of Portable Izzie’s Face.

Pinch Me, Please!

Today things seemed more real. After I got home from work, we browsed the sales papers and made our grocery list. Jabari stayed at home while I went out to the store. After I came home from grocery shopping, he cooked dinner while I put away everything and marveled at how much money I saved by browsing sales papers and using coupons (I’m learning! Read this blog post for more info). You would have thought we’ve been living together all along. He even turned on my reading light for me (after gently scolding me of course for trying to read without it). With the exception of a few mishaps (like him using my hand towel to clean his beard clippings) it has been a smooth and painless transition.

Life as of Late, Bullet-Style

  • Major news: You know my ex-boyfriend Jabari? Well, he and I are getting back together :)
  • Jabari is also moving in with me.
  • Does anyone want to hire a cute, lovable computer geek? He’s got a pleasant speaking (and singing) voice, is very bright, and knows all about fixing computers and computer networks. Leave comment here if interested.
  • I have been doing a lot of cleaning, decluttering, and rearranging of the furniture to accommodate his stuff but I think there may be some overlap.
  • I’ve made it clear that none of my scrapping stuff is to be touched.
  • Maintaining a blog takes a lot of hard work and pre-planning, none of which I’ve been doing much of lately so I apologize. Once things settle down, I will become a content-generating machine :)
