Happy Birthday to ME!

hippybngstockngIt's my birthday! I am OLDER THAN YOU!!! Well, as long as you are younger than 34. I think most of you are though, in fact I can only think of maybe 5 of you off top of my head that I know are older. Anyway, I don't ever feel old mentally. Physically is starting to be another story, and I should work on that. To that end I sort of want to go shopping for better shoes! Perhaps even boots! I might need to hold off on that though- it's that bill time of the month.
I think I am going to break out the last of my good coffee beans and the espresso maker and try to make myself a not-a-latte. I can't make a real latte because I don't have a means by which to steam milk, so all I get is warm milk and coffee. Not as satisfying as the real thing, but I don't have room for the froofy machine I would need to do it up right. Another reason why I need to move. I need more toys in my kitchen than my kitchen allows me to have.
And the reasons continue to grow and multiply- A good example is how little time I spent sleeping in the bedroom last night and how much better I feel for it. After I noticed I hated it in there and felt angry every time I tried to do anything about it, we looked it up in our Feng Shui book. Apparently our bedroom is just that way, and even rearranging it will only help a little. I end up sleeping on the couch, and often feel better doing so even though I miss sleeping with Crash. I miss the bed though, and get tempted to pull an "alternative living space" again, and put the bed in the living room. That would mean trying to move the couch into the bedroom though, and I think that would require a chain saw, then a new couch.
This not being completely broke all the time stuff is somewhat dangerous because it gets me wanting things, and realizing that I can have some things, just not everything, but I still want everything and then have to figure out which of everything can fit into that some. I want a new couch, a new bed, new upholstery for the comfy chair, more room for all the furniture, a froofy milk steaming machine and a counter big enough to accommodate it, new dining room chairs, a big cabinet that would efficiently store ALL my crafts stuff....
What I really need is a therapist/smart person with a clue by four, and a maid/personal assistant with an endless supply of giant trash bags just working on me round the clock to just do this... Then I might be happy enough with just getting a new bed. The bed will still suck no matter where we move it, so it hopefully will go with the car.

Date: 2004-10-01 08:05 am (UTC)My disclaimer is that I am not as crazy as my LJ makes me seem... and anything labeled 'work' is a rant at my 'watercooler' since I am a home office worker...
I am currently on hiatus from gaming, and just missed meeting you at ACN. Dang it.
We share interests in fish and dogs and gaming... and friends...

And I am probably crazier than LJ makes me seem!
