I did something bad yesterday.
It could have been worse, though.
As I mentioned, I’m overhauling my apartment, and I knew this day would come.
I went shopping.
However, I am the master bargain hunter and got some awesome stuff for unbelievably cheap.
I got this adorable ottoman and two storage baskets from Goodwill
I love the top of the ottoman- it was only $4.99!
I got some art from Big Lots- nothing over $15. And you can see the corner of my head in the mirror. I dyed my hair dark brown. Maybe Ill show it to you when im not so hideous (I just woke up, I love not working on Fridays!)
And also from Big Lots, a new comforter, pillow and bed skirt set ($20!) a free standing lamp ($9.99!) and 2 sheer curtains ($5 each!)
Plus, I bought a ton of groceries. Grand total: $130.00. Yeah. That’s right.
Porkie is a buttinski
I broke myself
if you looked at yesterday’s post, I did explosive pushups. What I didn’t say, was I did them on the bench press bar, on the lowest rung, about mid-calf height. You just fall foward, grap the bar and do a push-up, but on the up movement, you explode through the arms back up to standing.
Well, halfway through the day, my thumb started to hurt. I couldn’t figure out why, but it continued to spread, and now its my pointer finger, too. Took me a while to figure out, but it was from grabbing the bar with the force of my body weight- Im pretty sure i stretched out some of the tendons and bruised it as well. Sucks. So if you try those, be careful. Right now i can;t grip anything- I have to pinch it like a crab.
A Big Giant Thanks
To Dave from Write in My Journal for helping me with my blog issue. I totally blacklisted those fools.
Big Show Tonight
Can you tell I just discovered headings?
Jerome, who has been commenting recently (GASP!) and who did his at home workout last night (good boy) has a show tonight. His band, Trip Like Animals, is playing at Fuel in downtown Seattle. How awesome would it be if some local EGN readers came? Pretty awesome. I’ll probably have video for ya’ll tomorrow.
