things that are awesome that started out not awesome.

Got the bright idea that I was gonna paint my apartment to perhaps increase it's appeal to me. mmmhmmm. Not 30 minutes into starting, I freaking knock over the paint can. All over my floor. All over my beagle, who gets scared and runs away leaving grayish footprints all over everything. Awesome. So I chase him down and throw him in the bathtub. Dogs are much easier to rid of paint than carpets.

Here's a before pic:

After 3 hours of using my carpet cleaner:

I did not even use soap, just straight water. The day is saved! hooray!

And as sad as I am about wasting $25 of paint, it's kind of a good thing, cause once I saw the color on the wall, I really did not like it. So I feel like it saved me, kinda. Cause even though I hated the color, I feel like I probably would've just ended up using it anyway, despite the fact that I hated it. Because I'm cheap like that. haha.

That carpet cleaner has saved the day on many occasions in the few months I've had it. Definitely the best $175 I've ever spent.

I say things and write stuff.

I was on an airplane once. Obviously a while ago cause there's still snow in the pic.

Here's an interesting story about Special Forces canines.

Pretty sad that 7/26 of the things highest up on my googling list are apartments. I'm pretty sick of where I'm living right now, but I'm not convinced moving to another complex will be any better. people are people-y no matter where you go. I need to buy or rent a house. I'm too old for this apartment living crap anymore. I'm just gonna throw this out there: If you don't like animal noises, don't move into a pet friendly apartment and expect total silence 24/7. Actually, what the hell? Don't move into an apartment, period, and expect quiet 24/7. It's an apartment. It's gonna be noisy. DEAL.  Cut the crap with the passive aggressive notes posted around the building. Got a problem? Say it to my face. Holy crap.

Also my mailman. he is not. He is just a man, because he does not DELIVER my mail, he does not TAKE my mail.  My mailbox is a void of despair.  When I do get mail, it's for people that live in the next building.  I haven't gotten a netflix in a week.  I'm annoyed, cause I can't complain, cause we've had a different mailman constantly. I don't know who I'd be complaining about, I never see the same one twice in a week. it's ridiculous.

Basically I have a problem with everything lately. Give me a topic and I can go off on it for at least an hour. I have never been in such a foul mood as I have been the past few months. I dunno why.

my daaaags.
