For once I am writing my entry at the end of
a day instead of in the wee hours of the beginning of a new
day! Good for me. That is because instead of working on my
web site like I have been doing for the past three nights,
Adam and I went out! My dad's band, Dogtown, played at The
Blue Gator tonight. It was really fun. My friend Emily sings
for them and she's great. I'm exhausted though. Okay so I won
the thing I was bidding for on Ebay, and now I'm embarassed
to tell what it is, because I paid TOO MUCH for it!. It's a
ceramic cat lamp from the 50's, and the eyes glow. It's REALLY
rad, but I probably paid too much for it. I'm embarassed to
say how much... It's so cool though! There's this little bar
in Columbus named Betty's, and I went there for the first time
a little over a month ago, when I went to see Ben Folds with
Summer. That was also the first day I had ever seen my kitties — I
stopped by the vet's to see them on our way to Columbus. So
Summer had to endure me the entire ride up going "I think
I want them I think I'm gonna get them what should I name them
do you love them *i* love them I think i'm going to get them" ANYWAY,
so I was trying to decide if I should get cats, and it was
time for dinner.
There are about a million tiny restaraunts
and bars on High Street in Columbus, and we see this place
called "Betty's." My favorite cat in the WORLD who
died about four years ago's name was Betty, so since I was
in the cat mood, I said "Let's go there!" and guess
what!!?? There were a bunch of cat statues!!! Betty's is decorated
all funky — kind of like your grandma's house, but also
with cool pictures of retro pinup girls and funky ceramic statues
and stuff. Anyway, I didn't pay that much attention to the
statues. Then, this past weekend when we went for my cousin
Nora's art show, we decided to stop there for a drink first.
The weirdest thing of ALL was that Nora was there!!!! Eating
dinner with her boyfriend! Small world. Anyway, we got seats
at the bar and I sat right in front of the coolest lamp I've
ever seen. A ceramic lamp of two Siamese cats, and their eyes
glow! They glow any color depending on what color bulb you
screw in!!! And they had a green bulb in, so the eyes were
glowing flourescent green and I declared right then and there
that I would have a lamp like that no matter what it took.
I figured I would try Ebay. And sure enough,
I found one. It is EXACTLY like the one at Betty's. And since
I feel like I
have a connection to this lamp, I feel like deserve it
more than anyone else who's bidding on it. So I suppose I should
stick in a picture of this lamp. Ok. Now there's a picture.
So anyway, I love this lamp. And my problem with Ebay is
that,
once I'm bidding on something, I become really possessive,
and I MUST GET THE THING or else. Or ELSE!!! So I spend
too much money. When I declared that night at Betty's that
the
lamp would be mine, I said I would probably be willing
to spend X amount of dollars on it. Well, I spent about exactly
TWICE
as much as I said I would. But oh well. It's mine now.
And it'll look great in my kitchen with the new table!!! YAYAYAYYYY!
I'm going to buy a red light bulb, a blue one, a green
one,
an orange one, and a black light!!! And change them all
the time! I'd better end this before I get TOO EXCITED!!!!!!!
I have to quit staying UP so late on work nights!
I got carried away with another big web redesign, adding little
mini menus to the top tier of every section of my web site.
whew. Plus I didn't get started til late. Tonight Summer and
I went to aerobics again, our favorite teacher Kara was teaching.
I feel like I got beaten up. My abs are KILLING me! If I stand
all the way straight up, they feel like they're going to rip!
Owwwww! Anyway, I was starving when I got home, and my mom
had called to say she had leftovers!! I'm lucky to live in
the same town as my parents, especially since they're fantastic
cooks! So I went over there and had a pork chop, some garlic
mashed potatoes, and limas 'n' corn. Then Adam and I had to
swing by my sister's to pick up the table. YAY! I love that
table. I'll try to get a picture of it up soon. My kitchen
is almost complete. I'm just waiting for the thing I'm bidding
on at Ebay. I'm keeping it a secret until I either get it or
I don't, because I don't want anyone else to go try and buy
it. Yep, I'm being sneaky and selfish. Although, I doubt many
people would want this as badly as I do. Except for that damn
person who keeps bidding on it. I hope hope hope that I win
it! Well I'll stop talking about it. I'll find out sometime
tomorrow evening. Then I'll tell what it is...
In other news, tonight was the season premiere of Real World
Chicago. YEAH! Yes, I will admit. I love The Real World. From
the previews and commercials, I would've guessed that I would
hate the new cast. But so far, they're okay! I can't think
of any more news, plus I'd better get to bed or I won't be
worth much tomorrow at work. I just hope everything I added
to the web site works, I'm kind of tired and out of it. We'll
see!
