Catch October 22
I looked at my last post and went “Hm, September?” Yeah. It’s been awhile.
I haven’t been doing too much except working as of late. I haven’t really scrapbooked or worked on my altered book much. I am incredibly interested in altered art though (thanks Leslie for the altered book book that you sent…it got me hooked)
Glenn and I refinished the living room floor. It was a tough job, and I’m not going to lie; he did most of it. I asked him why he suddenly wanted to finish the floor so badly and he replied, “Well it has to be done before getting a couch, and I know how much you want a couch.” What an awesome guy <3 We put down chemical stripper, scraped it up, sanded like woa, and then stained twice and he varnished about three times, sanding in between each. There is a spot in the center of the floor where someone refinished the floor around an area carpet (why would anyone do this?!) and we could not get rid of it. Poor Glenn. He was so upset about it…after all his hard work. It still looks really really good, and the spot is less noticeable by a long shot.
I figured it’d be awhile until a couch, but of course after all of the work that Glenn put into the room, he looked over our mismatched poor excuses for furniture and said, “Yeah, we need to get a couch. I don’t want to put this crap back into the room since it looks so nice now.” We are getting a brown leather sectional and it’s being delivered tomorrow!!! I will post pictures. 
Tomorrow is…my birthday! Glenn couldn’t wait to give me my present, so he let me open it last night. He got me an iPod classic (I’ve never had any sort of mp3 player…EVER.) and it is so cool! I seriously can’t believe I didn’t have one of these things until now. He got the back of it engraved. It says “Life – Love – Music; Forever with Heather” I’m a lucky girl.
I spent all day today sewing. Glenn and I are going to a costume party for Halloween and we decided to be two of the characters from the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon series; Hank and Sheila. I’m basically finished my costume, but it still needs a cape. Then there’s almost all of Glenn’s to do…*sigh* Hopefully will have pictures of those after Halloween!
Happy October!
Some new (old) things
-I’m re-banning myself from buying shoes. It didn’t work the first two times; third is the charm, right? Also, I have a wedding to pay for.
-I have been re-watching The X Files because I realized when I saw the new movie how far from the series I had gotten. I used to know everything X Files inside and out, so I’m re-capturing that.
-I missed Otakon because I’m poor, and I couldn’t afford to go, much less take off from precious few hours of work to go. This absolutely sucked.
-Since I missed the con, I have been completely swept up by the desire to cosplay just for fun (which I never used to do; it was always for a con) I’m doing Meimi Haneoka from Saint Tail and her alter ego, Saint Tail.
-I think I have finally managed to chill out a little bit. 
-I had a job interview for an instrumental teaching position and a general music position (part time).
-I’m going to become a volunteer at PAWS and help little kitties and other animals that have no where to go.
-I’ve been eating healthier foods. Been buying more fruits and veggies and cutting back on the tons of ice cream I used to down every day.
- Overall, realizing that employment of some sort is fast approaching and I won’t just be useless and miserable is making me a much happier person.
