   I guess we're not in Kansas anymore....

So another big storm is hitting us right as I type this up and it's worse than the last one. Hopefully we won't see any pictures of projectiles through human parts in the paper tomorrow >.>

I've been somewhat active recently, gaspers. There was the party we threw for my eldest sister last weekend (10th of February) for which I baked and cooked until I was out of breath. We all chipped in for this cool kitchen machine which you can use for whisking, kneading, slicing, chopping, mixing, etc. She's been wanting one of those and was happily surprised :)

A couple of days later I headed over to Gothenburg to hang out with all 3 sisters. That was the plan anyway. The elder sister had to work late and I only got to see her for about half an hour before heading home again *shrugs* But the younger, eldest and myself had a goot time together. We had pizza, saw "Music and Lyrics"* for a laugh and to my amazement we even played a game of Scrabble (complete with the eldest sister complaining about being incompetent/not getting enough points), lol.

It probably wasn't the most brilliant idea to go into this arts & crafts store that day, seeing as it flared up my need for creative outlets ^^; I compiled this huge list of things to buy when I'm not skint and it got pretty long, lemme tell ya. Now wasn't the best time for my computer to need servicing** which in turn forced me to buy a bigger external hardrive to store away everything, nor to purchase new curtains + bed sheets, or to buy clothes even though I sorely needed them :p

Oh well. Yay for credit that allows me to distribute payment over a period of time?

Usually I keep on top of my expenses, a trait that's earned me lots of respect from my family, lol. Thankfully no one is taking advantage to poke fun of me for being stretched thin financially this month. Maybe they understand I'm being punished enough by not being able to order more stuff to play around with >.>

I did, however, find a really cheap poster that'll take up space on the wall behind my desk (instead of the fabric I spoke of before) and also got "Ratatouille"*** for half the prize! Now my wallet must stay tucked away ... unless I come across something I want that is a bargain :D


Another thing I've done in my time away from posting is bowling. Yes! After what must be years of being deprived of bowling I was invited along to play a few ... rounds? Series? Sets? Whatever. It was truly fun fun fun and I wanna go again soon. Sooooon!

Earlier in the week I tagged along to IKEA with the parental unit. A little bit of grumpy tendencies but nothing too bad. Convincing myself not to buy a whole new set of furniture to deck out my room with was .... a challenge. One that I managed to overcome. IKEA just has a way of making me ignore how much I like and am comfortable with my room's current style, tempting the mind with cleverly laid out/positioned furniture. Rrrrr.

Whenever all my plans for this room are accomplished I promise to take some photos for you to look at. Maybe a grand House Tour, as well?


* Dad bought it, along with "Happy Feet", and gave it to me. Apparently he feels just like mom in that my generosity needs a counter-balance or something ^^;

** You can follow the servicing online and it said they had to replace the mother board >.> <.< D:

*** lawl, I love how Ratatouille prompted Bouillabaisse in the spelling check XD

Schultzereen: Huzzah for warranty ^^; At least I hope they won't charge me anything seeing as it's still valid...

My walls are grateful that you extend permission for me to be weirdly creative with decorating them ... I think ;p

Molly: I've no real talent but the whole process keeps me happy and entertained XD If all goes wrong, call it impressionism!

And hey, you're brilliant in reviewing movies. That's something I can't do either :3

T-C: Nope, me not have seen The Abyss. Is it more entertaining than reading about how I kill my computers? :p

Right now the fabric no longer matches the curtain but if I can find another design there will be tapestry!

Tigressa Rogue: *slaps head* I forgot to take a picture of the lovely fabric! Because seeing it will totally make you relate, yes, definitely >.>

Becky: *snuggles* Your 'puter better behave, too, or we'll band together and do something that includes matches ~_^


*spanks Ichigo a little for forgetting SomeGuy's report in the podcast*
