living on my own....

sigh>
So. I am sure I could have 10 notes posted already about living on my own, but tonight, something happened that made me decide I needed to write it all down. So here goes.
I had 2 great friends come today to help me move in my washer and dryer. YAY! What a blessing, right? So, everything is set up when we realize that the cord on the dryer does not fit the outlet in my apt. Brian suggests I go to Lowes and get a new cord. Sound easy? Yes. hah. I go later this evening to Lowes....my dryer has a 3 prong cord on it and I need a 4 prong cord. I make the purchase...$20.80 and hurry home to attach it so I can get a load of laundry going.
I get behind the dryer (in a little corner with little room)...remove all the wiring for the 3 prong cord and quickly realize the colors and such do not match up. I turn to none other than the world wide web for help. Find a picture of each type and figure out how to attach my new cord to the dryer. Easy enough. My heart begins pounding a little as I prepare to plug it in. I'm not an electrician. I have no idea if i have correctly attached this new cord. I plug it in. Sparks fly. Loud popping noises occur. I jump back (in the little space I had) bump my head in attempts to get away from the sparks and remind myself to breathe. I'm not hurt. But dang it. It freaked me out.
I then have no clue as to what needs to happen at this point. No fire has started. I am ok. So what does a girl who feels completely helpless do? Yeah, she cries. I went and decided it was time to meet my neighbor...I knock on his door, meet him and his wife? girlfriend? either way. Meet them...ask if he knows anything about changing wires and such....he comes over, takes a look and says...."Yeah..... just talk to maintenence tomorrow....just don't burn the place down. <smile smile>"
Minda proceeds to give a fake smile and act as though she is perfectly ok. I then thank him and let him know it was nice to meet them and shut the door. And then.....well. now here i am. Wishing someone else were here to take care of this type of thing for me.
oh well. I'll wake up tomorrow and see what else I will learn while .....living on my own.....

So, i've been in my apartment now for 2 months exactly. What an interesting two months it has been. Aside from my scary dryer hook up story, nothing crazy has really happened to that extent....but lets see.
- I finally started to hang some wall art that i have.....nothign major but i've finally begun to do this......although, when you don't have someone helping you, one can certainly put several holes in the wall trying to make it hang straight. hang it, step back, evaluate, begin again. yeah. that's fun.
- This morning, I was drying my hair before going to church (at GCC) and well. My hair is long. So by the time it is dryed, i'm HOT. Almost to the point of sweating. And my shirt that I was gonna wear this morning was in the dryer. And, well, when you pull anything out of the dryer RIGHT AFTER it has finished drying....it's hot too. And I had NO desire to put on a shirt that was that hot.....and I needed to go soon....soooooo. .I put the shirt in the freezer.
Only took about 5 minutes and I was good to go!
-Oooh....I got a new set of knives. A REALLY NICE set....I love to cook so I was really excited about having good knives. Well, I'd used almost ever knife in the set up until a week ago....I even made homemade bread so that I could use my bread knife. BUT. The one knife I'd not used was the BIG knife. You know....the BIG SCARY looking knife......I had NO IDEA what I would even use it for! Who needs a knife that big? I was really wanting to use it (i'm a nerd....admitted) so I went to the store to see what I could find to use it on. I came home with a watermelon.

That's about it for now. let me just say.....roommates are amazing and it is MUCH better to share these silly experiences with someone rather than on your own. ...which is why they are now on facebook.
muahahaha.
the end.

It has been a while, my friends.....it has been a while.

I am at work and will be leaving in NO LATER than 10 minutes. 

Sometimes I get to this site and think I need to update when I realize it would. take FAR too long to update anyone on my life in one blog posting.

And the more I thnk about continuing to type right NOW even, I get overwhelmed and just think to myself....'pack it up, Minda...pack it up and get out of there!'

and i think that is what I will do.

Maybe I will find myself browsing this site sooner than later and have time for a real update.
