Well, my hard drive crashed at the beginning of the month. No, I hadn't backed things up yet. The back-up external hard drive was to be October's purchase. So I lost EVERYTHING*. Very traumatic weekend. As my warranty had expired, we tried some DIY w/ a new hard drive, but that possibly screwed up the machine- a piece moved during the switcheroo. Long story short, I have a new computer and the old one is being worked on. Going to sell it once it's all fixed up and use that $ to help pay for this one.
*Thank goodness I had posted all my travel pictures on the travel blog! Can you imagine how upset i'd be if i lost those???
One of the stray cats was adopted earlier, but then another showed up. And now I hear from a neighbor that there are 2 kittens? Oy! (Can't wait to see them though!)
I'm in a wedding next Saturday and my dress (simple brown sateeny-cotton halter) is still tight. Planning on wearing it all day this Sunday to stretch it out; cross your fingers that it works. May also have to wear my (air-restricting yet awesome) laced up waist cincher under it. Comfort or beauty, I know which I'll pick!
I also still need shoes. Can't afford the ones I originally wanted now.
The two people who had initially expressed interest in my slightly-dinged up yet still really good Corolla can't buy it after all. I'm going to clean it up and take it to Carmax this weekend, just to see what they can offer me. If they don't hit at least the minimum of what I need (there is a magic number, I just want to pay it off and pay for the scooter, nothing more) then I'l have to Craigslist it. Not looking forward to the hassle. (If anyone needs a 2005 silver corolla with a few cosmetic flaws for a really good price, contact me!)
Never Say Never Again was not "a good one." Why do people always say the old Bond movies were "good one[s]"? Was it that they saw them when they first came out? Saw them as kids on Saturday afternoons? I still say that Dr. No is the only one I'd buy so far; Goldfinger was the next best, then From Russia w/ Love (but probably b/c the belly dancing in the beginning was so cool).
My raincoat came in and is a) too big and b) too bright pink. Was hoping for a more fucshia-ish fucshia.
On a happier note, it only cost me $3.43 to fill up the scooter this week. And I got a new helmet, white with pink stripes.
So that's what's going on here, and why I haven't posted in a while.
