*squees* Finally have computer time back. In the new house. And the old one is... pretty much trashed. Only about a third left. It's rather cool.
However, am without proper sceptic hooked up so... it's out in the bushes for us. And it's cold. And raining.
Valentines day was spent mainly in bed. But I got a present. It's a ring. Rubies and tiny little diamonds. Matches some of my jewelry I already have. It's pretty cool. Was from Mum, though, so nothing to really boast about.
Helped Rhianna today. Was her last resort but I don't care. Meant I got to finally see Secondhand Lions, and it's an awesome movie.

My gods... how long has it been since I read the Dragonriders of Pern books? *snorts* Last year I think. But they're so very good. I think there's only been two or three of her series I haven't touched. I forget why.
I think I'm going to have a bowl of ice cream.
Power isn't out yet obviously. PSE was ill-prepared. But that's good for me for now. My weekend will be consumed with packing for the most part. *shrugs* It has to be done sometime.
Yes, it is time for me to get my bowl of ice cream.

I have a terrible time counting things. I don't know why. But when things don't add up... I get confused, and freaked out. I'm supposed to be good with numbers.
I spent a lot of time packing things up today. Things that can go out in the damp shed and not perish. I wrapped them carefully and even labelled the box with all the really fragile things. I realized I have a lot of "itty bitty bits" but none I'd like to part with. The fact is, they're tasteful.
If I wasn't doing that, I was reading, or walking in the snow. I loved it. We had four inches and it was pretty. The kitties walked in each other's tracks, to keep from having to walk in too much snow. They had very direct paths to where they needed to go. So funny how they hate it.
The amount of snow made me miss Spot.
I was sitting in my chair, reading with Sam on my lap when all of a sudden Gary got out of his chair and said, "All right, lose the kitty."
I glanced at him and asked, "Why?"
He didn't answer, just told me to lose the kitty and come with him. Two minutes of bantering must have passed, as I asked where we were going and why, and him not answering beyond us going into the new house. Finally, I put down my book and stood up (displacing the cat), and followed him into the new house. It was just carpeted earlier this week, so it was cool to see that.
Moving on up stairs to my bedroom, I found out Gary just wanted to know how I wanted my wardrobe done. As in... shelves? Well, we figure there will be shelves on either side of a door, and some above the rail to hold hangers, but not too many. However, I'll probably do well to hang all my shirts and such so it's no biggie.
He could have just said so in the beginning.

Homecoming pictures arrived today. I was scared that mine didn't turn out well. It did. The group picture looks awesome, too. I found it amusing how I was the odd one out... my arms were covered, my smile more of a smirk, and the fan... But we all look gorgeous. I had to make a list of who was getting what wallets so that I didn't agree to too many.
So I got a lot of comments after posting in Paris... it was amusing to say the least. Certainly glad to know I'm remembered. I'm thinking I just may have to make an update about things that have been going on in my life.
Other than that, life has been taken up in school, or playing computer games. Lame little moi. *patiently kills mouse*
I hope a new computer comes after the new house. But then, there's plans for a new TV and actual DVD player as well... who knows? I do know that the old TV will be in my room, for when I have girls over for movie nights.
And that's something I'll finally be able to do without crowding out my step-dad. That's what has stopped me from having them over before.
I have a conference with my mum and sixth period teacher at 6:30 in the morning next Friday. I am sooooo going to be buying a latter from the expresso stand. I'll actually have the time to drink it, then! *thinks about coffee* Mmmm.
