we're getting ready to tear the network card out of this bad boy and return the modem to the cable folk. i'll have access to email (if my server decides to get off their ass and get it working again) in two to three days, when we stop in colorado to see family. also if there are any pressing issues, leave a comment here and my mom will let me know about it. if it's not important at least make it funny so i can chuckle and feel a bit less isolated. for those of you who haven't been following the midge chronicles, i'm fixing to drive my salamander uhaul truck across the continent to go live where i came from and be happy. i'm exhausted (haven't slept since 5pm yesterday) and sore and this is just the beginning... also if anyone wants a big crappy stained up gross couch and a hallogen lamp that catches on fire repeatedly, please come to my house; i'm sure the landlady would love to get that shit out of her front yard while it waits for the garbage men.

we stayed up all night, packing a bit, playing mario brothers, putting pore cleanser strips on eachother and making out. all in all we probably could have been a bit more productive... we picked up the truck this morning, first thing. the guy gave us the newest one they had, presumably because our reservation was messed up and we had to take a 17 ft truck instead of the 14 ft we wanted. it'll guzzle more gas i'm sure, but at this point we're glad to have one at all, especially one that has a salamander on the side of it.

i've been going a bit overboard with the pony collecting... i have three right now and no less than 38 on their way to my mom's house. what can i say... it's cheaper to buy in large lots on ebay then it is to buy them one at a time, and let's not forget the resale baby! it's as good as money in the bank. my mother thinks i've lost my mind. i suspect my husband does as well. my birthday was pretty generic, we were too busy and tired to do much, though i did get a wonderful salmon steak dinner cooked for me. we've been playing super mario brothers 3 and i am constantly being reminded of how bad i suck at everything but the match game. tomorrow we call to confirm our uhaul truck reservation, wednesday we pick it up and fill it with stuff, thursday we jam in some more stuff, wait for a check in the mail and then leave when it gets here. hectic crazy with lots of stuff to do but THANK GOODNESS it's time already. i hate it here more and more everyday. i bought a new toothbrush because i used my last one to clean my new ponies. the bristles were all frizzed out and gamey so it wasn't as insane as it sounds. one of the ponies i got was one i had when i was a little girl. my favorite one actually, from the first line of unicorn/pegasus ponies in 84 (i think) it's called moondancer and this one has seen better days. the symbols on it's ass were amost rubbed clean off, it's got marks and spots (pen and pony pox) and a jerk cut it's tail but i fixed her up pretty, gave her a good scrubbin' and bleachin' (though it didn't do much), a tail trim to even it out and repainted the ass marks. a purist wouldn't approve but i'm happy. the hair is beautful and that was always what i loved most when i was a kid. i'll probably get another one in better condition anyways, so what's it matter.
