so i forgot to update yesterday. oops. i guess i was just too excited about my big accomplishment for the day. yes, angels start your hallelujah chorus, because with some coaxing from yours truly, becca finally bought a couch!! hurrah!
yesterday afternoon we went to ikea, and were met by jen and gavin, who had rented a u-haul for the weekend and were nice enough to stop by ikea on the way home to load up the things that wouldn’t fit in my car. becca got a coffee table, end table, and bookcase in addition to the couch, and i bought a bookcase as well. i had hoped to find a coffee table, but i was rather disappointed in ikea’s selection. (i know, i was distraught that for once, ikea didn’t have what i was looking for.) the one coffee table that i liked didn’t come in the right color to match my other furniture, and the ones that did come in the right color were oddly shaped–either too wide or too tall. i guess i will have to go elsewhere. maybe i’ll have time this week…i am starting to get annoyed that i don’t have a coffee table, and hence nowhere to leave all my papers and stuff except on the floor.
after ikea, we all went back to becca’s to help her move her couch up the stairs, and as payback she fixed us a lovely dinner of pasta and salad. now that she has a couch, i’ve decided to harass her about buying a floor lamp, because her apartment is quite dark.
i also have decided that i like dogs in general, but am very picky about their behavior. apache has grown quite a lot since i last saw her in march, but she is still definitely a puppy, and hence not very trainable, despite becca’s valiant attempts. i like her when she’s not jumping up on me or trying to lick my face, but that only happens about 10% of the time. during the other 90%, apache is a ball of excitement and it’s impossible to keep her still. oh well. silly dogs.
meanwhile, this morning i have declared war on exceed. exceed is a program i need access to in order to log into the flight mechanics lab and do my work. exceed is being an uncooperative bastard. it won’t run. grr.
