and it's in the living room!!
i hope everyone had a good long weekend, relaxing on labor day and such. this wknd for me, however, had been nothing but laborious tasks. so much for labor day. :p
on friday, we were supposed to go see the body worlds exhibit at the museum of science and industry, since this is the last wknd of the exhibition. open 24 hours the entire wknd, even. unfortunately, and this is nearly impossible, all the tickets were *SOLD OUT*!!! i was trying to purchase tix early online, since the exhibit is a "timed-entrance." what the, even with it opening 24 hours all wknd, there were NO tix left for any of the days!!!! wahhhh! why did i wait this long to get my act together to try to see it? oh well, its next destination is philadelphia, as i learned when i was visiting carol earlier this summer. looks like i will just have to visit her again this semester. hee hee, i hope she wants me. :)
saturday i did a long run, since i am "suppoedly" still training for the 1/2 marathon. the last time i tried a long run, i stopped at a lil over 6 and realized i was chafing severely in unexpected areas! seriously, i might as well just pass out now so i will no longer have anything to worry about. man, im still terribly out of shape from my lack of running since early july due to my back injurty. also my lack of healthy feeding habits. sigh... i think i managed to run 7-8 miles along the lake, but parts of it were difficult. wahhh, so hard to even just find time to work out!! :( then after work at sbx, met up with sharon and denise. wont name any names here, but man, i got so annoyed by end of evening i was just like, im leaving. oh my god, why do most girls get so hung up on a guy that they have always complained about and was never completly happy with!? why are they angry with someone yet go to a place they know so well that they could run in the hopeless ex? why do people keep digging answers uselessly for something that's more over than over? why do you actually want him to say, oh i am sorry, i guess i lied. and i guess i am sorry that i was with you and decided that i am now bored with it or i find someone else i'd rather play with? seriously, peoples, MOVE ONNNNNNNN!! i mean, yeah, i was sad too every time i departed someone or him me, but i dont let it dictate my breathe!! UGGGHHHH!
sunday was a work marathon day. maybe the whole reason that i can't run as well as i wish and as i can is because i stand around too much at work? worked from 6:30am to nearly 3pm at sbx; then straight away to walgreens. even though i was only supposed to be there until 9pm, since it was quite dead towards the end of the evening, the pharmie was like... well, i guess you can go home now if you don't want free money. what, did someone say free? FREE! not too much happening after the birth control rush and running into classmate's hubby, i just tried to stalk cubs players and reading up proper habits in runner's world. haaaaaaaaaa...
today was nothing but labor. and every task just felt like it took forever to finish. did some over-due laundry this morning; the laundry mat was ass busy and i had to fight for washers and dryers! blah!!
MOST IMPORTANTLY, MY COUCH IS FINALLY IN THE LIVING ROOM!!!!!!!!!! wow, it's about time. after laundry, i took the other leg off the couch. ready to move? okay! unfortunately, during my first two tries, i couldn't get the thing through the door. i had it standing lengthwise on its side (towards the ceiling), but i couldn't succesfully pull it through. waaahhh. then i had to leave cuz i told kellean that i'd go see her new house in boringbrook/bolingbrook, see her boys and play. i literally had to leave my couch, stuck, btwn the built-in hutch and the front of the bathroom! wahhh!
after i came home, i tried pushing the couch through from another angle-- still no luck! but i was sooo close- like half of the couch was in the living room, but it was just sightly too tall! cry cry. then i decided to put the couch on its front, and lo and behold, it worked! it's in the living room!! i put the legs back on. i still have to staple the fabric back to make it pretty, and even though it's sitting in the middle of the room, most importantly, it's finally here. i think i made some minor damage to this one corner of the fabric when i struggled to yank it, pull it through the door frame the first few times, but it's not too noticeable, i think.
yay, im happy. it's so cute. now, perhaps i will go pretend to study for the epileptic quiz.. :p
