Progress is Moving Forward

Saturday, November 24th, 2007

I’m working on the dye project. Here’s how things are going so far. Let’s hope that it goes on smoothly. I think that I got things on evenly. Hopefully. We’ll find out in a few minutes when I rinse myself out and check the results.
Wish me luck!

I will update properly later…

…having a bit of a moment sorting out my hair. I decided I was bored and would bleach it and start the new dye project, and of course things haven’t quite gone to plan.
I was sitting here playing “Beautiful Katamari” when the batteries in the controller died, and I realized I hadn’t talked about Thanksgiving [...]

I get to have fun!

Wednesday, November 21st, 2007

This arrived for me yesterday via UPS:

So, thus next week I begin the project to re-do my hair once again, but this time by myself. I also have bleach with a brush and a bucketload of rubber gloves so my hair doesn’t get stained. I think for this first attempt I’m going to try and [...]

Shiny Comics!

Monday, November 19th, 2007

I’ve been a fan of web comics since I was in college. I used to distract myself from papers reading things like Mega Tokyo. It makes me feel strange looking at the site now, that I can go. I was reading this when it first started, when there were maybe three comics in the archives, [...]

Things to Get

Monday, November 19th, 2007

I was realizing that moving is going to mean that we have to get a lot of things on top of just the buying of the house, situation.
Depending on where we move we’re going to need a lawnmower, and given I’ve had a washer and dryer for almost six months now it’s going to be [...]

No More Boxes

Monday, November 19th, 2007

I didn’t get any more boxes packed yesterday. I’m going to be trying my damnedest to get some more done today. We have more boxes now I have no excuse…seriously.
I did get all my errand running done though, which is something. I have hubbie’s uniforms, I got the forms checked at the brokers and she [...]

Mortgage Paperwork

Sunday, November 18th, 2007

This paperwork is our primary task for today. We received the paperwork via Fed-Ex Friday morning, but I wasn’t in a position to sit down and really do more than a cursory glance. It’s so many pages, one side ours to keep, one side we have to initial and sign on almost every sheet of [...]

Freak Out

Sunday, November 18th, 2007

It’s funny, well, no, really it’s not, it’s absolutely the opposite of funny how things will pop into your mind at inopportune times. I woke up during the night needing the bathroom and as I was coming back to bed, my brain pointed out to me that there’s a good chance our closing will come [...]

Love and life

Friday, November 16th, 2007

I’m remembering to be thankful more and express that. My husband and I had a talk a few months ago about the fact that he didn’t realize that my random “just because” hugs and kisses were to say thank you, I love you and all those sorts of things. I would extol his virtue to [...]

Some good updates

Friday, November 16th, 2007

We’ve found out a few good things. Our credit is excellent and the mortgage pre-approval went through in a few hours, so that’s good. Our landlord here has extended our “dismissal” until the 31st of December, which gives us a little bit more breathing room, not much, but a bit.
We have to try and push [...]
