wonderful news!

i'm getting married!!!

yes. that's right. married. me.

haha. just kidding.

but i do have even better news than that. i was offered a promotion today! yay!

so i will still be doing what i do, but basically have added responsibilities. because of this promotion, i will basically be traveling to washington dc every couple of months. i'm excited for the opportunity--just not so much for the traveling. but i will say, one of the best parts of living in the east coast--is the relatively easy distance between large metro areas.

i am definitely going to have to do some sightseeing! i still have yet to make it to tour dc so yay!

ikea

so after i finished work today--i headed off to ikea-land. it is pretty close to my place actually. just a few minutes drive.

i needed to purchase a tv stand with some storage space that was still very compact and i thought i'd find it there...

instead, i came home with a new clothes rack (the portis)--which was good--because i needed a new one badly. the cheapy canvas one i bought for $60 bucks off target.com broke. and i just got it like--2 months ago. i purchased this one for only $39.99 and (knock on wood) i think it is going to last a lifetime. it is very strong/heavy metal. i have high hopes.

i love heroes...though this one was a tad graphic with the whole hot black guy being decapitated bit...why is it that they always kill off the future painters? first isaac (the hot hispanic guy) and now usutu. i guess they like reusing the whole "how ironic" bit.

anyhow, i need to contact the appropriate people because i really do think i'm going to head down to dc for thanksgiving--at least for a couple days.
