randomly chaotic and frequently mundane

No, seriously. I feel like I’m melting. Damn it’s hot. Where’s that break in the hot weather we were supposed to get?

Got an email from an old friend today (that I met through my brother, as a matter of fact). He’s going to be in the Denver area next week, so we can get together and hang out, which is groovy.? Haven’t seen him since the very last “Maggie, Elana and Mare’s Annual Memorial Day Party” which took place in 2001.? I’ve only talked to him via email occasionally the past few years. It’ll be nice to have a visitor.? Here’s hoping Gage behaves.

In other news… well there isn’t really any news. I lead an exciting existence, no?

I’m in the running at whogets.com for a prepaid cell phone.? I’d love it if you vote for me.? I don’t have a cell phone, but could certainly use one.? You have to register, but they don’t spam you.? Hell, you might find a contest that you’d like to enter yourself.? I’ll trade ya votes.? Let me know when you’re in the finals of a contest and I’ll vote for you.

Cleaned the bathroom a little while ago, and then Gage’s bedroom.? I’ve got laundry going and I’m going to start working on the kitchen in a little bit.? Gage is hanging out inside a lot today, so I can get more stuff done.

Gage is using the potty pretty regularly now, which is nice.? I just wish he would tell me when he needs to go, so that I can take him when we go out.? Right now I put him in a pull-up if we go anywhere. ? Except for walk, I let him just wear big boy underwear when we go for walks.

this morning, on the bed.? Tiger climbed up on the bed with me, Ziggy and Poe both climbed into bed with me, and when he got up Gage climbed into bed with me.? It really wouldn’t have been so crowded (or felt that way) if Gage hadn’t grabbed poe and moved so close to me that I was pressed against the wall.? By that point, I wasn’t sleeping anymore.

I need to get an ink cartridge for the printer.? There are some things I need to print out and mail this week.? I also need to get stamps.

Why can people not read?? I have a few things listed on craigslist to sell.? Every listing says “buyer must pick up,” every single one of them.? So I get someone who asks if something’s available, I say yes.? Then asks if I take paypal.? I say yes (afterall, sometimes it’s easier to pay with a credit card on paypal and then pick up whatever you’re buying).? Then he asks what the shipping would be to Iowa.? What the hell?? So I quoted him priority shipping.? Since it’s the only way I can get it picked up.? I should have rounded up to the nearest $10.
