i'm ba-aaack!

look who's returned to the world of blogging. carlos had to erase my hard drive. it's like a brand new computer - which is nice, but i'm having to start all over again. you know? i have a couple of 'survivor' talkies to add and carlos has added his movie-making program that looks far fancier than mine. i'm going to try it. times are hard here at my pad. work has been a little on the slow side since this "bailout" [thanks, it really helped!] and i have had to use my savings and now am living every day ... waiting for the day to end to go to the bank. deposit every day. i hate doing that. to cap it all off my bathroom and kitchen sinks are totally clogged. i can't even use the bathroom and the kitchen sink can be used sparingly. there doesn't seem to be a problem with the toilet, shower or washing machine. i did come across the dishwasher full of water (luckily, clean). hopefully "the cooperative" is coming today to snake. i'm hoping to correct this problem without calling a plumber but i'm not holding out hope. if that's the case ... well, a pickle is abound. on a brighter note, i changed the living space in my apartment on monday. i really like the way it turned out. i took out the rug which was the bane of my existence. i was constantly picking up balls of rug and scully hair. over it. once scully's fed the tree, i'll think about a rug. the floor is new so it's in great condition. i might as well enjoy it. i hope everyone is doing well and i'll work on my talkies this week. everyone who is eligible must register to vote this week. in may states registration is over but here in portland we have until to saturday so check and make sure. save the future of our country and secure the future for my neice and nephews' kids. VOTE OBAMA! VOTE FOR CHANGE! VOTE NOVEMBER 4! [and if john mccain says "my friends" one more time...]
