Too much time on my hangs

I haven't been at work a lot over the past few weeks. Maybe just the past week and a half. Between being sick as hell and the holiday day's that we get off each week among other things I feel like I haven't really worked much. Now normally I would be cool with that, but I'm getting more than a little bored at this point. Yesterday I went to the grocery store spent way too much money, but at least now I have food. Lots and Lots of food. I've downloaded lots of stuff from the internet as I'm sure you've read. But the funniest thing that I've done is bought a set of curlers and try to curl my hair. Now this might not seem all that funny except that you must know that even blow drying my hair is a effort to me. My hair isn't long but it has way past its point of really needing to be cut. Anyways my curls really really well. It seems i forgot this point. Now I'm bored with hair curled like a 1960'ies house wife. Its a bit crazy looking but I can't get rid of the curls unless I wash my hair. Which you'd think if I had so much time on my hands wouldn't be such a big deal. I thought about taking a picture of the funny hair but that would just be too funny for you all. This is ridiculous though I need to go back to work before I get even more out of control. Though I'm a bit scared to see what that would look like.

I'm know I'm a dork.

So in having my new ipod I've have decided that I need to download more things for me to listen too. Yesterday I found this new site where you can download free audio books. I love the free book. In fact I really love free anything. Here's the concept. They are books who's copy writes have expired. So most of them are old. Which is is good for me because I'm cheap and I would have bought them anyways eventually. But to have them for free is nice. Each chapter may or may not be read by a different person as its a volunteer thing. I thought this might be very annoying but so far its hasn't really be. I mean it would be nice if the whole book was read by the same person, but we sacrifice for not having to pay for the books. Which is really a sacrifice I'm willing to make. I downloaded Mansfield Park, which I was already reading on the computer because I downloaded it for free from this site. Which is basically the book downloaded on ones computer for free. This site is better for shorter books as its hard to read 48 chapters online. But thats just me. I read Emma, and The Secret Garden among other shorter books that I've downloaded from it. I enjoyed those immensely, but again they were shorter. In reading Masfield park I was getting a bit confused. And without the book its a little more difficult to go back and re-read that which you've missed out on.
Well I just wanted to share these fun new things. I also downloaded some audio books from this site but I haven't actually listened to them yet so I can not comment. They actually have all kinds though ones you can buy and what not. I might have downloaded more there but I already read a bunch of what they had for free. That and they have lots of things that I just don't want to read or listen too. Anyways I'm having a lot of fun with it.

New fun things

SO I had a very exciting Christmas this year. I didn't ask for anything. I said maybe I would like a new down comforter because the feathers our coming out of mine. Which mind you I really don't understand but that is a whole other entry.
Anyways I got a really fun fleece white Sox blanket that my mom made. Which in my fridge apartment has gone continual use. Its really really warm and I think everyone should have one. I also got a (red) Ipod. Which I've pretty much wanted since last year when it came out in octoberish of '06. My sister bought it for me. Its really way more fun that I thought it would be. See here's the thing. As you may know I have Itunes on my stupid cell phone. It only holds a 100 songs though which you will certainly be bored of on day two of your commute. That is if you can actually hear it on the train. I didn't know the Ipod would be so different. It sounds awesome, and I can hear it without needed to turn it up all the way. Its like this whole new world for me. I know most of you are probably thinking I've lost my mind yet again, but I didn't have one before so how was I suppose to know it would be so fun.
My next fun comes in the form of power tools, my mom bought me. My sister was a little sad I think because I might have appeared more excited to get the power tools than the Ipod. But I assure I love them both equally. So If you need my to drill anything for you I'm totally down. See I have got to play with my new tools because I have nothing that needs fixing. I did however go to Lowes online and turns out they have a creativity corner, but it turns out that I need some sort of saw thingy to do anything on there. Oh well maybe next year. Until then I'm your drill specialist. Though I don't promise that I have any idea what I'm doing.
