Mondays

Everyone can agree that Mondays suck. Usually it's the first day back to work for most of working class America, and the taste of the weekend is still fresh in your mouth. And the smell of the coming weekend is faint at best on a Monday. Well, today I had off from work, so my Monday wasn't as shit as most of yours no doubt were.

Um. Perhaps that's not entirely true. I took my car to Firestone to see about getting some new tires and $600 later I have four new tires, new brakes and an entry form to enter in a contest to win the car featured in the upcoming Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift movie. Yessssss. I killed the 3 hours it took for the car to get it's new rubbers at Books A Million, our local Barnes and Noble knock off. Cup of Joe, a magazine and a couple books hit the spot. It wasn't all bad since I know a girl who works there and she was working. And my old next door neighbor Anna was there was well. I felt somewhat like a local in fact.

Tires on the car, it was now gym time. But first a quick jaunt back to the Mall to get a security tag removed from my latest purchase at Hot Topic. I know, I know. Hot Topic is for 15 year olds and the goth crowd. I cannot help myself when I get near the clearance rack...it's an illness. Heather, another chick I know from the local bar, is the Assistant Manager there and I got to catch up on all kinds of gossip and whatnot. Again, I felt somewhat like I had been living here a lot longer than only 10 months by seeing someone I know personally working at a store in the mall.

After the gym I came home and worked on some more adventures in decoupage. Call me a loser, but I find it theraputic and relaxing. I made a couple smaller picture frames, one that will be a gift in the near future for one lucky person. And my latest photos came in the mail so I was able to display my last decoupage frame creation that I made a couple weeks back. Looking good. Speaking of art/photos/frames, that is the last piece of the moving puzzle. I haven't hung one thing on the walls yet in the new place. I'm having issues with focusing on where I should put stuff.
