So I considered playing along with the whole zombie apocalypse meme but then realized that I'd just be typing up one of my last zombie-related stress dreams and that doesn't sound all that much fun. What everyone who is playing along is writing is cool, but really not all that different from what I wake up occasionally in a cold sweat from, so... I blame the fact that all of my apartments are so full of windows...so many difficult to defend windows...

On the plus side I do happen to own a sword that's really more like a machete and could undoubtedly cleave an undead in twain, still Pye would get us all killed with his infernal yowling in nothing flat. We might survive a few hours if they were the dumb, slow moving type. If they were the hopped up on rage sprinters we'd be done for real quick.

At any rate, on to more pleasant topics, I had to swing by the pet store last night and as I was just a short ways away from BB&B I swung by there and treated myself to a brand new bathmat in deep purple and a dark blue towel and wash rag set. Yeah, I know, how do I keep up with my fast-paced life of thrills and excitement?

Did manage to score a new type of mouse for Pye, and he seemed to enjoy it. It rattles (which he loves) and seems to be covered in what can best be described as Barbie doll hair. He seems to enjoy weird textures in his toys so I figured it was a no brainer.

Treated myself to opening the great big box o' goodness from windrose last night and it was wonderful! I have a gorgeous new tea set compliments of the Jasmine Dragon, best tea shop in Ba Sing Se, and some incredible smelling mint tea to make in it. Woo! Plus a lovely lotus-shaped candle holder, already proudly on display in my living room. Thank you so much for everything, hon, it was just perfect :)

And finally I still have the damn futon, which I'm beginning to suspect is cursed. I got one actual spark of interest on CL, but she says she can't pick it up for 2 weeks. That's about it. Does nobody need free furniture? *sigh*

On a completely unrelated note, happy birthday! :-)

[ebonlock.livejournal.com]

Why thank you :)

[ebonlock.livejournal.com]

Thanks, and gah I've hit all the local Freecycles and Craigslist and still no luck with this stupid futon. Also contacted Goodwill and the Salvation Army but they don't want it either. *sigh*

A helpful little LJ bird told me that you were in Birthday-land today!
Hope it was fun :)

Thank you!

Sooo did my packages arrive? I had a heck of time figuring out how to get them all wrapped and boxed up, now that you have a bigger place I expect no "don't send anything big" complaints! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

[ebonlock.livejournal.com]

Nope, no packages, save the one from windrose I'm afraid. I'll let you know when it arrives, promise.

[divine-debris.livejournal.com]

Drat! We sent them out two day priority, they should have arrived by Wednesday at the latest!

I begin to think the post office is holding out on me, a package I ordered apparently reached the local one yesterday morning but I still haven't received it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

Did you get your niece's message on your cell?

Hope you've had a splendid day!

*much love*

[ebonlock.livejournal.com]

Oh no did I miss a call from her? Damn! I hate when I'm stuck in meetings all day.

[missjones.livejournal.com]

She called and sang you happy birthday on your voice mail. I'll have her call you again tonight.
