Moving around

Tonight I really wanted to go shopping. Seeing as I don't have any money I didn't think that would be such a great idea. I guess more than anything I am feeling like I need a change. The job is going great and everything is fine, I just want something to be new and different. The best way to accomplish that is to buy something right?
Tomorrow I am planning on swinging by the newspaper office to drop off a resume. Its for a writing job, so I am a little nervous about my mediocre resume. It needs a little more tweaking and altering. I thought maybe a new job close by where I don't have to fill up my car 6 times a month with gas prices at $2.70 a gallon. It's in our small town and I think it would be a great opportunity to really do something I would enjoy. So I thought why not, I'll give it a shot.
I also decided tonight that the setup of my main room was all wrong so I moved it all around to give myself some more space and breathing room, the room is pretty much square so its not the easiest to do but I managed with the door and window placements to come up with a less cluttered more open solution. So I might be able to go into the attic tomorrow and pull a rug down to make it more my space. I also have to reorganize my book shelf since I pulled all the books off to move the shelf
then maybe I will box up some of moms stuff and stash that in the attic as well. I'm tired of not having my own space.
So maybe this will cure that itch for something new. After the last 6 years moving every 6 months you just get antsy when you've been in a place too long. So here's to almost a year in one place!

It's a Bugs Life

A texture not all that unlike over cooked mushrooms covered in fish scales. BUGS.
Saturday they has an all day event at the museum of natural science. After work a friend and I took off on an adventure of the bug kind. Fully armed with, well, nothing but ourselves our trusty steed(trogdor) and of course my camera. We ventured to the "other" city and fumbled our way around until we found the museum, because we had both forgot directions on how to get there.
It was interesting, I was hoping it would be different or better--I had high hopes after all these are BUGS we are talking about. I had a Madagascar hissing cockroach crawl on me, but I couldn't pick up the spiders or the scorpions or anything else, I dunno I wanted to touch them, and look at them, the popular tables like the spider/scorpion you couldn't get to. I was hoping they would have a big room where you could walk in and observe all the bugs --like just a big room full of bugs. I wanted to see some stick bugs, and some spruce bugs and all kinds of spiders and butterflies and dragon flies various types of ticks and fish flies and horse flies and water bugs. I wanted to see a stand that made jewelry out of the bugs in a pseudo amber look. Maybe there were more displays earlier in the day, but I thought it was lacking. The most interesting part was the sitar player and eating mealworms and grasshoppers. There were lots of people--lots of kids and I was tired and had a headache and really bad food. So we left.

Twilight zone

I waited a long time for this. For almost a month I have been planning today. Lucky for me I can't sleep anyway. I have too much on my mind. I watched the sky for almost an hour and I saw one measly meteor, so I went to Walmart to buy a tent.
Why you ask?--hmmm, that's a good question. I went there and ended up purchasing a packaged of yellow legal pads. Its a mystery to me as well, but I am sure its practical. I was going to buy some nice tall black strappy heels, another mysterious thing I felt like buying, but luckily for my checking account there were none.
Today has seemed like forever. I guess I have been awake for a long time now longer than usual. I managed to offend a friend, to say good bye to one, and to be furious at another. Today must be my lucky day. My mind is still aching from all the thoughts that have been spilling through, and my dream about the envelope that was believed to be a cat, I guess it should be classified with the Walmart mystery.
