Incessant Chatter

It's almost the long weekend! Yay! I'm going to take off to the lake this weekend. No my condo isn't in any sort of order, but I need a break. My feet and knees are still sore from last weekend. But they'll get better hopefully. I also still don't have my dining room table. If it's not here by after work today, they are hearing from me. I know I said that everyday this week.

I finally got a much needed haircut yesterday. It looks okay. It at least looks healthy. I found a good hair dresser first try, which is odd for me. We replaced Dan's surround sound system the other night. We noticed before we moved that the old one wasn't playing DVDs or CDs properly. It wasn't even a year old. So London Drugs gave us our full money back, which was nice. We then bought a really really good 1000 Watt Pioneer Receiver and DVD/DVR player. It's sweet, although I don't want to turn it up too loud and piss off the neighbors our first week there.

I've met a couple of our neighbors. They are both ladies in their 40's. They said everyone in the building pretty much keeps to themselves, they don't really know anyone in the building, in fact I don't even think they've met each other. So far you can't hear anything in our condo, it's really solid concrete. In fact every time I try to hang a picture I usually end up buying a wall anchor because I hit concrete right after the gyprock. It's a good thing, now I can play my Dance Dance Revolution and not have to worry about the people downstairs being angry. I've also been to the hot tub many a time and haven't run into a single soul. I brought my racquet ball raquets but I forgot the balls. I'll have to take a look for those this weekend. We also bought some ping pong paddles. Still haven't tried them out yet. At least I know I won't go stir crazy in the winter because I won't drive anywhere, I've got everything in one building.

Having the tall girl store close is going to be a challenge. There's a really nice pair of parasuco jeans there that fit me perfect that I want. But I don't really need them right now, and I'm trying to focus on condo needs, but they still taunt me everytime I go by. We'll have to see if I can hold out, I'll keep you updated.

I was walking through Sears yesterday and they had a bunch of board games on sale for 50% off. I stocked up since I had to leave a bunch at home in Regina. Once we get some furniture, I'm pretty sure setting up a biweekly game night with friends here wouldn't be too hard of a problem. I'll also have to meander to Toys R Us one day. James keeps on telling me about these mythical Saskatoon board game sales, which I still need to see for myself.
