This and that…

So the last week has wound down a bit. Sort of. I’m prepping for finals, which equates to lots and lots of studying. (With some Xbox in between… ) Actually it hasn’t been too bad. I’ve been working and doing the school thing during the day, hanging out with Mike some at night, and then coming home and studying for awhile. I need to be ready to take this math final. I hate math. I struggle at math. I don’t like to struggle with things. It irritates me. Oh the perfectionist!

Other than that, I talked to my father the other night. Made arrangements to go out to Arizona and visit in January. I’m really excited about that. Angee had a baby back in July and I can’t wait to see me new nephew. He’s so cute. I’ve been snagging pictures from Leasa and Angee myspace pages. Not to mention going out there in January means warmer weather. I can’t stand the cold. My hands and feet get cold really easily. And don’t seem to warm up for anything. I’ve been frozen for about three weeks now. Even with the heat and multiple socks on. My mother says it’s quite possible that I’m anemic. Could be. Don’t have insurance to go to the doctor to find out. Not really concerned with it honestly. I’ve grown used to being cold constantly when November hits. It’s like that until the end of April. I deal.

Oh! Saturday night Mike and I helped move Paul and Megan into their new house. It was… interesting, to say the least. Their mattress wouldn’t fit up the staircase. We tried EVERYTHING. Until eventually we figured that the only way it would fit would be to fold it in half…

Which you know, isn’t that easy. They don’t like to stay folded in half. So we tried plastic wrap to keep it folded in half.

Yeah, that didn’t work. At all. haha.

BUT! I tell you, we are smart individuals. So as Mike, Megan, and I are all holding this mattress in half, Paul gets this brilliant idea of using the ties from the truck. They have cranks on them, to get them tighter and hold them together. For keeping stuff on the truck. They also work to keep a queen sized mattress folded in half. God, if anyone could have seen us doing this. It would have been hysterical. Four people with this huge mattress in this tiny kitchen, full of boxes, fighting to get this mattress to stay folded. It still makes me smirk thinking about it. But we kicked that mattresses ass. And got it up the steps.

OMG - I don’t know how you can think my layouts are pretty, when yours are just… effing awesome. *lol* If I twisted your arm, would you make me one? ^^

I laughed for a good solid minute thinking of y’all trying to get that huge mattress up the stairs wrapped in plastic wrap. *lmao* Ah - that’s just great. Tee hee! And hey - rock on for kicking the poo-poo out of that mattress’s bootie.

Looks like you’ve been really busy, lol. Good luck with finals. And it’s cool you’re going to get to see your nephew in January.

Hey hun!.. Been having a hard time commenting on your site for some reason. But I got it! Persistance is a great thing, ya know..

Math = Evil.

Go Team-Mattress-Bootie-Kickers! James and I had to go through the same thing when we moved in here. What a nightmare that was!

Man… fuck math! Haha, but for serious: I’m not a math person either, and it always took extra effort for me to understand and excel at math than in any other area. Good luck and hang in there!

Anemia is a scary thought, maybe you should try taking some iron supplements or like… eating green leafy stuff. That’s the typical advice I give, lol… eat green stuff :)

I hate moving. I love moving. It sort of goes both ways. Only true friends help you move. Sounds like you had a little fun - you know you’re smart when you can beat a mattress!

Hahaha, I’m just imagining four people forcing a mattress to fold in half with a crank. In my mind, this is arguably the funniest moving-in moment ever.
