So lets recap ..

So lets recap the last few days here at ozweegoVille. I decieded to stop being such a tight wad and spend a little of my saved money. Me spend money? No way .. go on. I have to admit. I almost feel female at heart sometimes. I go on splurges. I don’t buy anything for months and months at a time and then -POOF- what the heck happened? :) I’m sorry to report but NO dvd’s were purchased! I know I know .. weird isn’t it? My collection is a little over 100 right now of movies that I can repeat every word off of, line by line, phrase by phrase. Ask me anything about the movies I have and I can tell you anything about it. Seriously. I know, I am lame. I don’t party, do drugs or any other illegal hobbies so I have to spend it on something. Besides, laughter is the best high one can obtain, legally or not. I’d say a good 75% of my movies I own are comedy. Only the best for my collection! Anywho .. back to my story.

I decieded to spend a little cash on getting things that would improve the quality of life? I know .. yet another bummer. kc actually spending money on useless junk to improve quality of life? lol, ok ok so let me explain. First off. It’s been about 6 months since I’ve bought any clothes. That to is a shocker I know. I used to buy clothes all the time. A new outfit to make one feel good about themselves is worth every penny. So I bought some croft and borrow polo’esk type shirts, this time my new "trend" will be the color, but will not button up the entire way. I actually enjoy these shirts, moreso then I thought. I bought about 4 of this. Which normally these shirts are about 30$ a pop however me being the penny pincher got it all for 10$ a piece at kohls
Second splurge. Chedderwursts(sp?). The bratwursts but with chedder cheese inside and of course macaroni salad, and lets not forget the cherry turnovers OH BABY! That is some good stuff. I think I like it most because it reminds me of a time when I first moved to denver and that’s all I’d ever eat because I was to chicken, ok .. ok LAZY to cook anything else. It’s been at least a year since I’ve had that. And to boot I got 2 packages for 5 bucks! Where can you get bratwursts 2 packs for five dollars? NOWHERE. The cherry turnovers, so soft and chewy, SHIBBY. Safeway, I love you …

Some more splurges to come …

Third splurge. A fan. I know I know … sitting at my new computer with it being so stinking hot is really no fun. A month I’ve had my computer, I know a full month, wow how quickly time flies when your having fun! Anywho, it gets so hot at night it’s unbeilevable, if you leave the doors open it gets to cold, leave the door closed it’s too hot and leave the door cracked it blows open in the middle of the night leaving you cold, yet again. A fan, it’s a super neat fan. It’s made by lasko and basically it’s got two pieces. The bottom and top, go figure. The top actually turns and the fan oscilates. 3 modes, HIGH, MEDium, and low. This thing is cool and it was definetly worth the splurge.

The next was a necessity. I had to get this because if I didn’t I was doomed. I used to think I was an insomniac however I was doing some research and quickly dismissed that idea. Why you ask? Insomniacs do not have a hard time waking up from sleep. I do. I sleep like a rock. Yes, I sleep like a rock, that sleeps of course. Ummmm, anyways, I sleep pretty soundly and it takes me a while to get up. I suppose I just suffer from a lack of sleep, not insomnia. Thank goodness. Anywho, I had to get a new alarm clock. My old alarm clock was a cheapy me and my father bought my first day in denver because stupid me I forgot mine at home. Oh well, no big deal. It’s worked fine up until a few weeks ago. I would easily sleep through the stupid thing. At first I thought I would subconsiously hit the snooze key until I would later move it to the other side of the bedroom. If I set it for 8:00am I wouldn’t be up until at least 8:30 and the stuipd thing would be buzzing. Not a good sign. This new alarm clock I tried out in the middle of WalMart. This alarm clock is so loud that when I turned it on it felt as if the whole store went quiet not quite sure what to expect. Was that a bomb, tornado, or fire alarm? JACKPOT. I immediatly put it in my car not even realising it’s got a radio/cd player on it so I can wake up listening to my favorite tunes which is pretty nice considering I used to beileve that the "BEEP BEEP BEEP" noise had to be the very worst noise in the world. As of latley I have been using the sun as my alarm clock. I’d open up my windows before I’d go to bed along with my blinds in hope that the sun would scorch me and MAKE me get up. It’s pretty sad that not even the sun’s heat could wake me up. However, it was very sucessful. Why you ask? Sweat. I sleep on my back mostly, well .. I fall asleep on my stomach and 9 out of 10 times I wake up on my back or side. The sweat would roll down into my eyes and burn the living snot out of me. Time to wake up. I get the hint. New alarm clock. SHIBBY.

LOL, I just realised I wrote a novel on a stuipd alarm clock, oh well, I’m happy.

Next on the splurge list. 4 AA rechargable batteries. Expensive little bad boys however they do work and are worth every penny. I’ve said so much money just with my keyboard and mouse and my camera. My camera eats batteries and chews them up for dinner, however not the rechargable ones. I havn’t updated my photo gallery in forever because my rechargable batteries have been inside of my keyboard and mouse where I had originally bought them for my camera. Again, lazyness but these were not want items, they were mostly want and need items.

My next item was a want item I have to admit. I know I know I shouldn’t have however I did. I’m tired of sitting down and needing to put more ice in my cup. So why not buy a cup that you can freeze and make into one big icecube? Why not fill an icecube full of water? That’s exactly what I did. I bought a MUG that you can actually freeze! OH man it’s so handy and cool. It’s pretty tropical too. It also helps with my dishes. It’s the only cup I’ve used since and I use it for everything. Milk(which is cool when it’s frozen because it freezes to the side) and soda, water and most importantly Kool-Aid. Good Stuff.

I think that’s about it. My quality of life has improved greatly since my splurges. I have been feeling awfully well about myself but even moreso now then ever. Single life has never been greater. In fact we were all joking the other day. When I say we I’m talking about my other friends/roomates whom have recently all dumped their girlfriends to join the non-tied down ranks. We all were converging about how nice it was. Now either it’s a mask or we all are truly happy we’ll never know, but at least we feel good about it all. Anyways, one of my friends said he’d like to have a girlfriend just to borrow her water spout. Quite literally. So that way he can wash his car with a real water hose. Hehe, it made me laugh anyways just becuase I can relate. Look at me now, it’s 12:30. I dont have to do JACK. Should I go to sleep, work on my website, watch a movie or play some video games? It doesn’t matter becuase I don’t have someone nagging at me right now. HA, this is such a good feeling. The last few weeks I’ve been icnredibly happy. I can’t describe it. I feel even better knowing my presentation and term paper are done for my classes and the last 2 days are just going to be wrap up days basically.

-streches- ahhh yes, now I get to enjoy my 3 days off of school .. and then back to school. Ok, I "schwear ta gad" if I can hear you laughing, you’re laughing to loud at me. Try to keep it to yourselves. -winks-

See ya!
