Great Value

I've let the shit collect again since the last egg shell mess. And here's what's in this goodie bag.

 Someone likes Great Value brand fruit smilies. But guess who's not smiling.

 Mardi gras beads. I wonder who flashed what to get these.

 A wide shot of the garbage, beads, paper, some orange plastic thing, and some green plastic army men.

 A long shot.

 Cigarettes from the smoking section.

In other news. I'm driving a Nissan MRSA while my car is being fixed at the mechanic's again! This makes four times the transmission has had to be worked on. And when I got home from work, I had a red pickup truck in my reserved spot. If you are the owner of this truck, license plate APN8112 from Arizona please come and pick up your truck.

Six Month Anniversary

Today is my six month anniversary since I bought my condo. I like the inside. It's a nice size. I love the fact that I have a washer and dryer inside my place. In fact, I have to move some laundry over to the dryer as I type. I have a fireplace, although it is gas and doesn't give off much heat, it's still pretty to look at. I have a spare bedroom that I use as my office/computer room.

Yes, this place needs some work. I need new kitchen cabinets and countertops. The fireplace needs to be resurfaced. The bathroom is only half painted, and I need an electrician to move the wiring behind the wall so I can install legitimate fixtures. I'm not short on ideas. I'm just short on money.

But I look out on my balcony that that I just swept two days ago, and there is still eggshells falling between the cracks, cigarette butts, food crumbs, and a plastic toy. The kid above was making noise earlier. And all I want to know is when the market will pick up so I can sell this place and get away from the neighbors.

Yay me.
