sunrays and saturdays

Some asswipe took my clothes out of both the dryer AND the washer to wash one fucking set of clothes, so now I have a pile of my wet laundry sitting on top of the dryer waiting on his clothes to get done. If I were a total bitch, I'd take his out and use his money to dry my clothes. I wasn't even gone that long. *snort*

Ok, this freezing to death thing is getting old. I did call and bitch this morning, and they SAID they'd have a boiler man over here today...

Um, no boiler man. No heat. No feeling in the fingers, toes, and nose. No desire to do anything but crawl into bed and conserve body heat.

I finally got my coffee pot cleaned up and ready to use this morning. I just about did a happy dance in the middle of the kitchen at the thought of it. I haven't made my own coffee in weeks. Coffee! Coffee coffee coffee coffee coffee! Capu-CCI-no! Java! YES!

My roommate left at 6:30 this morning to go on a three week camping trip in Michigan. It's required credit for her Forestry degree. That's like saying that storm chasing for three weeks is required credit for my Meteorology degree. I'm slightly jealous and am contemplating changing my major. Ok, maybe not. But it's still kinda sweet if you're an outdoorsy type like me. Colorado would have been better, but eh. I now have the apartment to myself for the bulk of September. Any normal college student would take advantage of this golden opportunity and party as much as possible. Me, no. I'm just happy that I get to go to the bathroom without shutting the door. (I'm simple minded like that)

Anyways, it's a splendiforous morning. I think I'm gonna go take some pictures...after I drink my coffee. Toodles!

I'm back in Iowa!!! I'm not completely finished moving and unpacking, but I have enough done to live somewhat comfortably. Hauling all that shit up 2.5 flights of stairs was awful. Hopefully I don't have to do that again for a very very verrry long time.

My internet's not going to be hooked up until a week from this Monday, so I probably won't be online very much. I'll catch y'all later!

Oh maaaan, do I have a story to tell you guys. I got home last night around midnight and went to bed around 1. At about 3:30 a.m., my roommate's cell went off. She answered it, and it was a friend of hers wanting to know if her boyfriend could stay the night in our dorm room, because he was really flat ass drunk and had nowhere to go. Amy said yeah, sure, and went and picked him up. He passed out on the futon within seconds, so we crawled our tired asses up to bed and went back to sleep. At about 5:30 a.m., we were both awakened by the sound of running water. We both sat up and looked to see where it was coming from. The bastard was standing up right in the middle of our fucking room PISSING ON THE CARPET. Amy was screaming at him to stop, but he just kept on pissing! Finally, she ushered him outside to piss since this is a girls dorm. We were sitting there bewildered for a minute because we couldn't believe what has just happened. He came back in and went right back to sleep! So, we went from bewildered staring at the carpet to amazed staring at him. We got out some dish soap and water and Amy started scrubbing the carpet. After that we sprayed Febreze on the spot and stuck a fan there to help dry it. We don't think he remembers doing it.

You wanna know the kicker? Somebody is coming by here TODAY to buy this carpet from us!

I put a down payment on my first apartment today after touring it yesterday. It's a cute place! It's smaller and less modern than a lot of the other places I looked at, but it just had this cozy feeling about it. It's also only two blocks from campus, the closest of any that I looked at. Plus, I get to keep my cat now! YAY!

I'm heading home tomorrow for Spring Break, but it's probably not going to be much of a break. I have to work as many hours as they'll give me at the hotel. I'm really strapped for cash at the moment.

Grandpa went home earlier this week. It kind of shocked all of us that he went home so early, but it's not because he was cured. They put him on a home care program in which doctors come out to the house regularly to check on him. He's happy as a blue bird to be home, and I don't blame him. He's been in hospitals for over two weeks now.

For some stupid and guilt-tripping reason, I was adding up how much I have cost our insurance company in the last three years that I directly or indirectly caused.

$66,000 - House Fire
$3,800 - First Car Accident
$2,000 - Hail Damage
$1,000 - Dad's Car Accident (he was coming to get me)
$5,000 - Second Car Accident
--------
$77,800 - Total

In THREE YEARS. Just throw me in one of those padded rooms with a nice straight jacket and feed me pumpkin pie. I'll never hurt anyone or anyTHING ever again.
