Cable...

Well I just got off the phone with Charter Communications. I spoke to Ryan. Very easy. I ordered digital cable, something that I was against at first because I thought the price was way more expensive than regular extended cable, but it turns out that it is only $10 dollars more a month. I can do that I said. Plus I get all the movie channels for free until June. YAY! So now I just have to buy a TV and DVD player. Oops.... Welcome to the 21st century Kate. The TV age comes to my house. LOL. I was dead against getting a TV when I moved in here back in May. But after careful consideration I decided that it would be nice to see something other than my computer screen and printed word. So its off to cable land for me. ACK! So it's now off to buy a TV today. I did my homework and found that Target is cheaper to get my TV at then Best Buy, even with a 10% off any one item coupon. YAY Target. So as of 4pm today I will be the proud owner of a 20 inch TV and a VCR/DVD combo unit. And tomorrow I get Cable installed. OMG what is this world coming to!

Chasmyn, You're A Punk!

That's right. You are a P U N K ! I joined BlogRolling and Blog Explosion tonight... What an addiction starting. Reading blogs and Blogrolling them on my blog... ACK! Ok I forgive you. I like it. I earned 10 points tonight looked at 20 blogs and read them all. Some were interesting, some were funny, some really sucked. LOL. :P I can tell this will be a new thing for me when I am bored. Anyway its past midnight now and I am going to bed. (Actually I am going to read. Then at about 4AM I will fall asleep... And start all over again tomorrow when I finally get up.)

Well not all day tomorrow will be spent sleeping. I have a dinner date with my stepmom, since my dad is out of town (he and I usually go out to dinner on Mondays). I have no idea where we are going. I was half asleep when I said I would go. Should be fun though, the rest of her family will be there also, and I like them. *sigh*

Anyway... Off to read, M U S T P U L L M Y S E L F A W A Y F R O M P C ! ! ! So hard... LOL :P Tomorrow is another day and Chasmyn is still a PUNK! And OMG it is tomorrow... NIGHT!

Finally...

Well I have finally posted the fall camping trip pictures... HERE. It took a while cause I had to get motivated to do it... Since it also meant redoing the other photo albums to match, and I just haven't been feeling up to snuff lately. But it is done! So enjoy.

As far as every thing else goes... I am doing ok. I can't really say that I am great, but I am not bad either. I had a date last weekend for Halloween and have not heard from him since... lol. So I guess that was a bust. That's what I get for running into and agreeing to go out with old flames. Note to self - don't do it!

I have been slowly overhauling my website again. I am pleased to say that I like the way that it is turning out. I especially liked the way that the menu turned out. :)

I just started reading the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan again. And am really enjoying it. I guess it helps that I don't really remember it from the first time I read it. I guess ECT was good for something. :P So between cribbage and reading and the website I am keeping busy during the day.

Karen and I have put working off until after Thanksgiving, and then we are going to have to haul ass to get these orders from Archon done. Eak! We will manage though. The only bad thing is that I don't have that to fill my days. But we will get there. The Curious Cat Clothing web site is up and running. Although we have not gotten any orders from it yet. I suppose that will come as we get our name out there. I am really looking forward to that happening. I want to see where this will lead to. *Fingers crossed*
