yankee bayonet.

i'm actually not currently listening tot his song, but i am thinking about it. i'm at work. the songs here suck. but 'yankee bayonet' is by a group called the decemberists. i just renewed my love of them. all their songs tell a story, and it isn't an obvious story. this particular song is beautiful. you should check it out!

so tyler and i found a new place. we move march 1st. i'm so excited. 4 weeks is far too long. this new place not only has an oven, but a BRAND new one. brand new set, in fact. no leaks! his sister's boyfriend owns it. apparently renee (tyler's sister) is going to be our landlord. although she says that if she has to be the landlord, she would like to be called the queen of the land. haha. we also have a washer and dryer hook up. and monty (the boyfriend) just totally renovated it. ripped everything out, fixed all the wiring and the plumbing, and hardwood and tile downstairs, and then carpet upstairs. it looks really really nice. i'm very excited. it has really high ceilings, and lots of windows. woo! haha. also, monty doesn't want a damage deposit. he says they don't do anything really. because if someone is going to damage your rental property they are going to do a lot more than a couple hundred dollars damage. whatever, it means i can probably get my derby skates sooner.

i finally have an appointment to finish my tattoo on my arm. which is also very exciting. march 24th. too bad it is so far away. oh well. it will probably come sooner than i think. its nice because it is already paid for, so i don't have to worry about that.

i'm really not feeling this today. i don't really know what to talk about, and i don't have a lot of energy. probably because i don't want to be here right now. too bad! i have 5 hours left of this today. agh. oh well. must do what i must do. speaking of musts... tyler and i really need to go grocery shopping. we're pretty much out of food. i'm making chili tonight, that should hold us over for a little while. but i would rather freeze it for later days. we do have a whole bunch of veggie burgers in the freezer too. i just don't feel like eating them. they ARE good though. i still haven't used my bread maker... i know i know, i really should. tyler always jokes and says we should just give it back because i haven't used it. but i want to... i just haven't been motivated to do anything like that. and it hasn't helped since i found out that we're moving, because now i don't want to spend half of my day baking cookies 6 at a time. i just wanna put it off this month, until next month when i have a REAL oven to use for baking cookies with a REAL cookie sheet that fits way more than 6 cookies.

i discovered the best way to avoid needing to go to the gym - carry a heavy tray up and down stairs for about 7 hours wearing heels. your calves will want to fall off. last night i didn't think my legs could carry me anywhere anymore. it was AWFUL feeling. but i made it through. and today, they are still tight, but not quite as painful. at the pub, the upstairs is weird. i was serving in this one section right by the bar. but i also have two tables in the next section over. when you come upstairs there is a little landing with more stairs on either side (like 3 if you go right, and maybe 4 if you go left. to get to the bar to get any of your drinks you have to go down the 3 stairs, and then up the 4. it kills me. but i'm probably going to have the nicest legs ever eventually. not to mention when biking season starts again for me. our new place is closer to town, so i can bike to and from work in the summer. yay! we can save on insurance and gas in the summer, which is awesome.

well... i should probably actually start doing my job. haha. i don't want to, but thats what they pay me for....
