so happy

I wound up looking at how to do the bookshelves this morning. It looks pretty easy to just build them into the wall between studs. And there's a pretty rose patterned moulding at Lowes that will work great as a footer and header.

We did go to Wal-Mart and while checking out I saw a new Reese's. It's called Crunchy, I think. It was pretty good. I believe I might have had it before but I don't know. Still, I wouldn't buy it a whole lot but it is nummy.

While going through the Easter stuff someone walked by an end cap and knocked off a bag of candy and kept going so I stopped and picked it up and put it back on the shelf. She turned and said, "Oh! That just jumped right off!" and I said, "And you just left it." ha! I really did say that too, but it might have been too low for her to hear. I hope she did hear it.

We got going so late in the day we just had Subway for dinner and we'll do the asian stuff tomorrow. We skipped the water chestnuts and instead we're doing bean sprouts. I'm really liking the baby corn so we're doing that too. Victor says it's not technically a food that goes into this kinda meal but I don't care, I really like baby corn.

I got a weird kinda headache where my eye was all dry and hurty. I was in cheerful spirits, though, which is odd for me to be cheerful and nice.

We got a rotary push lawn mower thing at Lowes since we were out there and had the money and we need to begin mowing the lawn here pretty soon anyway. I put it together and I took a picture but the camera's in the other room. It was 119 dollars, but it's really nice. It came with a bag to collect clippings, the handle's longer than the other one and is curved to be easier on the back or something and it's a bit wider than the cheaper one.

While at Lowes we looked at the moulding and other things (mostly we'll be buying from Home Depot, we just happened to be at Lowes today) and when we got out to the car I was in such a good and happy mood. I felt wonderful thinking about our new house and how pretty it'll be. I was so happy I was almost crying. We'll probably do a whiteish linoleum with a red floral pattern and we'll do lots of flower things. Maybe a powdery blue for curtains. We also decided to go with 20x20 on the house instead, but we're still debating whether or not to do two floors. I say it'll be much cheaper to do two floors and Victor says it'll be cheaper to do one floor. With two floors all you'd need is a set of stairs and another floor. With one big long one story house you need twice the amount of boards and twice the roofing, twice the foundation, twice the insulation. I mean, I might not be so horribly opposed to it if Victor can prove it's actually cheaper. The way we were going to do the second floor was to just get something like 10-12' boards and then put the ceiling of the first floor at 7' and then put the second floor on top of that and have it be 3-5' at the edges and then the slope of the roof would be high enough in the middle for someone to stand. But we can add it up and see how much it would be both ways.

I packed a box when we got home, I put my Harry Potter books in. 1-7, as well as my misc. books like Beedle the Bard, Magical Beasts and Where to Find Them (mystical?), Quidditch Through the Ages, Mysteries of Book 7 (or whatever, Mugglenet put it out), The Snape Debate, and a SS poster book. I put Victor's collection of Naruto comics in. The rest of my historical diaries collection. That Amelia Bedelia book I just got, as well as the Winnie the Pooh numbers book. I also wrapped up and stuffed in a frog knick knack.

I have another box started, this one full of my choose your own adventure books, my Zelda comics, my Indiana Jones books, and my comic books (like Peanuts and FarSide) and children's books (like Little Critter). I have some room left, though, and I don't know what to do with it so it isn't taped up yet, that will have to wait until tomorrow.
