i'm about to step out to go see hairspray and have dinner with laura.. but i figured i needed to type a little bit.. just because. i got a call from pete, the head of construction up in rochester this morning with a tad bit of bad news. the chandeliers we wanted for the foyer and dining room are no longer available at lowes. at any lowes in the US. greeeeat. my dad and i spent the morning online looking up chandeliers, and eventually headed to lowes to find some replacements. did you know that shopping for lights isn't.. exciting? i did this before with my dad when he came to visit roch-cha-cha.. we must have spent four hours in the light section looking for different pieces to fill the entire house. four hours. in lowes. now interior design is nice and all.. but really now.
luckily i've been a little too busy with work to make too many trips to lowes and home depot. it's seriously getting old. i sold my second camera yesterday, which would probably give me about $5 or $7 in commission. [sweet.] unfortunately, after the two girls who bought it left, i went to log the sale in our books and i realized that the only model available was the display.. and well, i sold an empty box for $299.99. great. i just about flipped out. we had no way to contact the girls and my co-worker eric was too busy with customers to calm me down. eventually they came back and i got them their camera.. but still, what a train wreck that was. apparently eric had done the same thing once.. except his customer never came back. in fact, he flew back to another country before he realized that the box was empty. how embarassing that must have been..
annnd i am super psyched for saturday.. aside from working 9:30-6. my friend andrew from school, who lives in hanover massachusetts, is coming down for the week! my boss gave me the entire week off so i'll be free to just go out and play with andrew. hallelujah. except the downside of that is.. we need to think of things to do. any ideas would be very much appreciated. (: we tossed around the idea of road tripping up to san francisco to see the rufus wainwright/A FINE FRENZY!!/sean lennon concert, and that seemed like a possibility. i guess i'll just have to keep my fingers crossed for that baby, because that would be absolutely stellar. (: plus nick told me that i would have to stop by on the drive up to see him if that trip happens. so i guess i'm crossing my other fingers for that one too. but seriously. ideas? please?
