for the record, i LOVE having days off. if i never had to go back to work, i would be a happy camper. maybe i just haven't found my calling yet, but i do know for sure, it's not what i'm doing now! maybe my opinion would change if i didn't have to get to work at 5 am or work on weekends and holidays. because, really, that is not working for me, at all. i'm not looking forward to the fact that i have to work on thanksgiving, especially since my parents are coming to visit. maybe i'll have a new job by then, though.

on a totally unrelated note, i decided to turn the heater on this morning at home. because i live in a little country home, we do not have a normal heating system. we have a single, double sided wall unit that is powered by propane. when i turned it on this morning, it set the smoke alarm off due to all the dust that had settled during the off season. i have opened up most of the windows to air out the house, while keeping the heater on. ah, living in the country.

along with the heater, i have also started going thru my clothes, shoes and books to weed out what i don't use anymore. since our house is so little, we don't have much storage space so i need to get rid of some stuff. in fact, we only have two tiny closets, one in each bedroom. last night i counted just how many pairs of shoes i have. it's quite a lot...67 pairs. holy crap! last night i filled three shopping bags to store in my garage and kept the remainder in my mini closet. i have a storage closet in the garage ~ a heavy duty cloth thing we got from costco, which helps keep the country varmints out ~ and now it's filled to capacity.

shopping problem? naw...not me!!!

i'm listening to a news show right now and the new trend for kids/teens is to take codine laced cough syrup (perscription cough syrup) and mix it with sprite or a sports drink for a high. ewww. gross. oh, and they add jolly rancher candies to the mix to make it taste better, too. wtf? it's called the purple drank, the lean or sissor. so weird. i just don't get stuff like that. what's wrong with just straight booze!?!
