thrihyrneYou know why? Here's a few reasons:
~ went by to my new roommate's house and signed a lease, got a key, and we chatted. It's going to be a very, very good fit. She's excited I'm moving in, I'm excited to be moving in. Our personalities will mesh well, and I'll have plenty of alone time to write and whatnot. And heat. My room has a heating vent that works well. :) I'll be moved in next Saturday, I expect.
~ finally finished up the baby booties for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fungus_files' newest bub and got them posted to her.
~ had a wonderful, so much needed phone conversation withrisiepookie this morning. I'd begun to despair of ever actually getting her on the phone, and we had a good half hour chat. What a treat!
~ enjoying the reality of being able to have weekend plans with bothevannichols and snottygrrl since we all live here. It's just so novel!
~ work included a viewing of The Princess Bride, with pizza, movie snacks and popcorn. I really do love working at Portland Opera.
~ quick but appreciated call tocim_halfling. ♥
~ my housemate is out at a play tonight, and with my hallmate gone, I've had the house to myself since I got home, so have been able to update my website and do other things and have music on and just totally chill out. Bedtime is coming soon..
The one WTF element is the State of Oregon's revenue department. I posted here early in tax season that I hadn't filled out my OR state income tax form properly, so they sent me a bill for $92. Which I promptly paid online. Then, a couple of weeks later, they mailed me a check for $92, saying I'd overpaid. If that weren't eyeroll-worthy enough, today I received in the mail a follow up bill, saying that not only did I owe them $92, but they've added on a 5% late fee. o_O
Um... I'll be calling the Department of Revenue tomorrow to please ask them to make up their minds one way or the other.
Tomorrow's Friday! Fics are being written! I'll be moving to a warm and cheerful environment! What a great thing. Oh, and I saw the new Star Trek. I was entertained, and had an insta-crush on the young Spock. No in-depth analysis from me on this film.

Date: 2009-05-29 04:12 pm (UTC)I am still grining about our visit last week. What a treat to see you in person and re-connect.
And I'm loving the good news about your new digs. I have to say, I while do love what Julia did with her house, you are right about it NOT being an environment that welcomes others to live there. Beautiful place to visit but...
Hopefully we will have a longer chat tomorrow!

Date: 2009-05-30 12:02 am (UTC)My mother-in-law had a similar WTF experience with her taxes. Makes you wonder if they even have a clue!
I'd love to see the new Star Tek movie. The only person in my family who's interested is my oldest son. Hopefully, we'll get to go together and see it.
Sounds like life is good!
