The last time we needed to get the attention of Sean’s brother, we wound up sending him a funny letter with our phone number.¬† Why?¬† Because his brother has the habit of getting his phone turned off based on the fact that he must love having to memorize new phone numbers every few months.¬† His in-laws don’t have a phone and were using his line to get the “important calls” and then it got to the point of just being bill collectors so naturally changing the phone number was the only way to get rid of them.¬† I don’t blame him, and I’d be very annoyed with my in-laws if they did that to me – but it won’t so I’m not concerned about it.
Anyway, we still haven’t heard from him – even with an in-law going over to the house for us to relay the message.¬† So we’re to a point now where we’re going to send another letter.¬† I figure tomorrow we’ll just ship one out and hopefully hear from him before the weekend and then take the drive up almost two weeks after we originally scheduled.¬† It’s annoying but I guess we have no choice in the matter.
I headed across the street to Kmart today.¬† I picked up a few needed items for the house, as well as some things that are coming with me to Ohio (if we ever hear from his brother).¬† Right now there are King Down Alternative Comforters on sale for $39.¬† I didn’t want it in white but as long as there’s some bleach in the house I’m not too concerned about that.¬† I almost picked up a new sheet set but there really is no point when I already have a good set on the bed at the moment.¬† I also didn’t feel like spending $80 on the King sheet set that I really wanted considering it only came with two pillow cases.¬† We have four pillows on the bed and this particular set doesn’t have alternate pieces that could be added to it.¬† I don’t like mixing and matching.
I picked up what I thought was a Razr, but it’s actually a KRAZR.¬† Close enough, $40 prepaid – I don’t need a plan right now there’s no point.¬† I only use a cell phone for emergencies anyway.¬† I don’t know how anyone could be on the phone for more than 10 minutes but that may be based on the fact that I’m not exactly a chatterbox either.
I picked up a cheapy lava-lamp but that’s because I thought it would be larger than it actually is.¬† It’s been “warming up” for a while and now it’s finally moving the way that they’re supposed to.¬† I’ve always wanted a large floor lava lamp but spending $200 on something that unimportant would just be reckless spending on my part.
The clock in the living room decided to change itself a week early, so it’s only 12:30 in there, but every other clock in the house is telling me 1:30, probably should have checked on that before I sat down for the night.¬† I’m too tired to really accomplish anything and now that I know that I’m an hour behind on just about everything that just adds to my “ehh screw it” mood.
