Hey, I forgot...

Hi there. I know a lot of people take stuff for granted. Simple things, like grocery shopping, and cable and everyday little things like that. I had almost forgotten what it felt like to have my own money for once. I got to keep my latest paycheck! So I really hadn't had a chance to do anything with it until today, and then I went out. I returned some movies, and rented one too. Then I went to Jewel. I was able to walk through the aisles and not say things like wow, I'm hungry and that looks good, but I can only afford a loaf of bread and some peanut butter, but no jelly. I wasn't hungry when I went to the store either! I bought a bunch of stuff, and knew I had the money, and didn't have to sweat it. The best part though, was when I got home and showed Marley that I had gotten him some fresh food too! He looked so excited, for a cat anyway. And even though he scarfed it down, he kept it down too! Then he came over and curled up next to me and started purring. It may sound silly, but when you can't do things like that for so long, it feels that much better when you can, and there's no guilt hanging over your head for it.

My friend George got back from Italy today, and I just got back from chilling at his house. It was good to see him again, and good to get out of the house for a while too, doing something other than work or errands. He got me a small bevy of stuff while he was over there. I think he has a thing for Ferrari, as he got me another Ferrari hat, and a shirt too this time. He also got me a load of colognes. I haven't worn cologne in so long. But hey, free is free, so that was cool. Even though he knows I am a VW fan...

I'm going to watch some Dr Who now, oh yeah, I got the fourth season on DVD. I wasn't planning on it, but I REALLY wanted to see Voyage of the Damned, and that was the only way I possibly could! Call me crazy, I dare you... After that, I'm going to bed, but I drank a lot of caffeine when I was a George's house, so I'm a little wired right now! I hope you all had a fabulous weekend, and I will talk to some of you soon! Oh Lisa and Mom, I mailed you both something, so you have something to look forward to in the snail mail! Peace out y'all!

Oh, goodie goodie - something to look forward to! All I get in the mail these days (besides bills) is about a hundred catalogues a day, most of which end up in the recyling bin unopened!

APHERI! (a ferrari for someone without spell check??)
