New home...

I previously posted to Livejournal (http://sad-tomato19.livejournal.com/), but after too many battles with the format, posting, limitations, etc., I succumbed to Google and moved over here to Blogger. So... for me, it will be easier to deal with. For you, more postings, hopefully. :)

So, I've been lazy, injured and/or too busy these past couple of months. Now that is is almost technically fall, but the weather is beginnign to feel like fall already, I am thinking of what I would like to achieve in this remaining few months left in 2008. The short list is:

  • Find an Argyle sweater. Sounds easier than it really is.
  • Continue to stick to my budget (again, easier said than done as impulse won over, and as a result, Amazon is sending me an new ipod). However, outside of the "ipod incident" I've been doing pretty good.
  • Begin the quest to make a mean veggie samosa
  • finish unpacking/organizing my apartment. I'm getting a jump on this, but I did also open a box today that had been packed when I lived in Sacramento and realized that is really lame.
  • take a mini-trip somewhere. I'm 95% sure I will be attending a conference in Washington, DC in December, so I will likely take an extra day. The good part: company will be paying for the bulk of the trip. The down side: I have to wait until December.
So... 5 things, with one being just to start (samosas). Not too bad.

Today was a nice, mellow day that was about 2 hours ahead of my internal clock. I realized this around 3 when I finished lunch thinking it was around 1. Following lunch, I ended up at the huge cemetery in Oakland with S. It was actually really cool, and I don't mean that in a morbid, gothy way. Lots of history in that cemetery, including some names on the mausoleums such as Merritt and Ghiradelli. I love exploring new places around here that I've never been too before.

Tomorrow: more unpacking and some cleaning in anticipation for my sister's visit next week, and lunch with M.

Tonight: more vegging - went out last night and am still tired! Go go Saturday night! :)
