home improvements, yeah!

so in my day off, even though we got a start of 11am, we had the most productive day!

first off, we decided to forgo the trip to "the center of the universe", natick, and instead go to nashua.

well, the christmas tree store was in the same plaza as the llbean outlet and the home depot. woooo who!

i got a pair of hiking shoes at bean. $20. not that i hike much, but if i ever do, now i have cute hiking shoes like emily. at christmas tree store i got a purple curtain to hide my closet. its a cute one, its got silver stiching around the edges too! Now my room is about 7 different shades of purple. yesssssssss. we also orderd this cedar folding table that cathy keeps talking about to be sent to the natick store. so when that comes in i will have to go out there and grab it! wooot! Home depot is where i scored the biggest. i got shower rod to hold the new curtain across my closet, pink panther insulating shit to put in the door jam along with some 1/2 inch think foil covered, foam board to hold the pink panther crap in place. i also got an under the door sweep thing in case some giggling tries to get under the door. i tested it out and you can still hear a little, but its definitely more muted. i think thick "decorative" rug hanging on the wall over the door might make it better.

we also got little clippy things to hold the glass window in the back door tighter, and a new door pump thing so the back door will stay open.

ooooh, i forgot the best part. at llbean i also got a thule bike rack for my trunk. its so nice, only $29. and it'll hold 3 bikes. the only thing i need now is some velcro things to hold the extra straps in place, and some bungies so that the front wheel of the bike doesn't slam into the bumper while i am driving. and i need to put air in the tires of the bike. it could probablly use a tune up as well. minuteman trail here i come!

mike brown is my hero! he was such a bob the builder today!

one of my neighbors thinks i parked too close to her driveway, so she called the cops. apparently the cops didn't think i was too close, cause i didn't have a ticket. what a-holes! it was the same woman that has the rav-4 that LK hit when we were moving. that bitch doesn't even use her driveway. and i was a good feet from the edge of her driveway. i thought we left this shit behind when we left brighton!
