gettin' in the habit

i leave for australia in exactly two weeks (holy CRAP) and i'm starting to get back into posting daily. i've been very consistant at writing stuff over on my hockey blog, even in the off-season, but i've definitely been a bit stumped to write much of anything over here. i'm definitely hoping to turn that around a little while i'm gone. we'll see how much time i end up with to be creative, with all the boozing and socializing i've got on the schedule... ;)

today i've been thinking about how i've been a homeowner for nearly SIX years and still don't really own anything.... both the roommies will be moved out by the time i return, so i will walk back in to a messy bedroom and a truly empty house. with very little cash in my pockets, i'll have to spend a few thousand bucks on stuff like a sofa & loveseat, a coffee table, a kitchen table/chairs etc. etc. etc. too bad that january is about as far away from garage sale season as i can possibly get...

but, of course, when i start thinking about acquiring one thing, it starts to snowball. i think maybe i'll put a sectional over in the corner where the TV is, which would require me to either move the telly or... get a really nice big flatscreen and mount it above on the wall.... ? it doesn't help that the layout of my living room is really twisted, though i must take full responsibility for that cause i decided to put in the 'bar.' *sigh*...

and i'm a-gonna need a freakin' toaster....
