Material Girl
Aug. 10th, 2005 10:46 pmWARNING: This post contains links to Material Goods, and much burbling over their Wonderfulness. Good socialists might want to read something else....
This past weekend was a veritable cavalcade of Stuff for me. I will recount it in gory detail for your edification:
1) So Friday, I was driving home from work, and I had this crazy fantasy, that the ferret cage (small child not included) would have come, and that when I got home, I would find that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
joshthestampede would have set it up and the ferrets would be gamboling about in it. And Lo! for it came to pass that when I got home, there was a cage, and he did set it up! Though the ferrets had apparently spent most of their time gamboling in the box it came in. This cage rocks the house, the yard, and the whole apartment complex. It's on wheels! The ferrets sleep in it voluntarily! If you look closely, you can see an image of the Blessed Virgin Mary on the litter pan, it's that awesome. And the Lovely Boyfriend is equally awesome, for having it all set up when I got there. Yum!
2) So Saturday, still reeling from the heady ferret-cage experience, I trod out to the post office to mail a package todomesticgoddess (Yes! It's true!). Since I was already awake, I figured I would go to the ginormous Bed Bath and Some Other Stuff, and maybe get new set of plates. Because, hey people, if I'm not married yet, I'm probably not getting married any time soon (you're off the hook, Lovely Boyfriend), and so will not be able to make people give me plates as a gift. And Lo! the second of the miracles occurred, and I found a set of plates exactly within my parameters (1: Blue. 2: Round. 3: Not Cheap Looking. 4: Cheap.). So my cabinets are full of blue plates (and I bought the ice cream bowls. and the big mugs. decadent.), and I now covet new steak knives.
3) So Saturday night, we come home from gaming at nigh unto midnight, to find a small package outside our front door. Turns out the gift L. Boyfriend had orderd for my birthday had finally arrived, and Lo! I was soon presented with it: a signed, limited edition of Fray, Joss Whedon's comic about a Slayer in the future! I could not have been more surprised or pleased, in a frolicking-about fashion. And there was much rejoicing, and carefully reading while not eating Fritos and smearing grease on the Oh My God Do You Know How Hard It Was For Me To FIND That?!?
4) So Sunday, nearly comatose from all the energy I had expended reading my lovely new book, while drinking tea from my lovely new mugs, and occasionally gazing at the ferrets locked brutally in their lovely new cage, I dragged myself out to seekyriotate for errands and lunch. And Lo! the fourth miracle came to pass, and he presented me with the new Harry Potter. And then I had many things to read, some with pretty pictures, and some with six hundred pages.
And that was my weekend. I am totally burned out.
Also, Otto can now get out of the tub by himself. Thank goodness.
