The other day I realized that I have had the coffee-cat theme up for over a year. It was last August that I got so sick that I couldn’t go to work for four days. I was unable to do anything but lay on the couch with kleenexes stuffed up my nose or sit at my computer and find something to do to take my mind off the fear that I was going to stop breathing or have a stroke/seizure from all the medicine I had ingested. Perhaps all of the cough medicine and anxiety inspired some creativity – but if I have to be that ill to get creative, well I’ll just opt to stay boring. Anyways, I’m working on the pictures section now. It will be up soon.
The weekend was relaxing for the most part. However, on Friday our water-tank began leaking hot water and flooded the basement. I flipped out over it because it just seems like ever since I moved in things keep going wrong. It was fixed by Saturday afternoon, and the electrician came last week and fixed our broken outlets, and next week a guy is supposed to come and put something in to connect the water tank to our drain just in case it ever leaks again, and he said he will fix our step to the upstairs that is wobbly and may collapse soon. So yeah, lets keep our fingers crossed that the house stops breaking!
On Saturday evening Bryan and I went out to dinner at Max & Erma’s in Shadyside and had dinner. Afterwards we went to the Waterfront and saw the movie Taladega Nights. I didn’t think I’d like the movie because I’m not really a Will Ferrel fan, but it was so funny and I loved it! I can’t remember the last time I laughed so much during a movie. I definitely recommend it if you are in the mood for a stupid comedy that is a bit ridiculous, but not too ridiculous to be unbelievable or annoying. On Sunday we had lunch/dinner at Eatin’ Park and I checked out some books at Barnes and Noble. I picked up White Oleander because I think I may have seen the movie and I remember it being an Oprah Book Club book a few years back and there was a big thing about it. I am tired of the usual murder mystery or all the crap about single women going shopping and being bitches. Everytime I go to a bookstore I don’t understand the crap I see sitting on the table where the new books are. All these books with pink covers and high-heels on the front cover about some girl working in Manhattan being a complete bitch. I will admit that I did read “Devil Wears Prada” and it was good, but when I picked up another similar book about a girl living in Manhattan working for yet another Fashion Magazine I’d had enough. Ughh. Anyways, if anyone has any recommendations on good fiction books, let me know!
I miss the cat, although I do like the new design. I think you should incorporate a different character and a coffee mug each month… for example, for November you could have a Turkey drinking some coffee, and for February, you could have Abraham Lincoln!
I like the new layout babe! It’s fun! 🙂
