When I got to it no one was there but there were a couple boxes on my doorstep. Puzzled, I brought them inside and saw that they were addressed to me. From &#8220;Pearson Education&#8221; I decided to just go for it and open them. Inside each box was 4 books:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Open Source Network Administration&#8221; By James M.

Linthicum<\/p>\n<p>Neat!<\/p>\n<p>Apparently they are care of the same woman I contacted a few weeks ago about getting coupons for the Philly Chix. I guess Prentice Hall is wanting to become involved with LUGs (like O&#8217;Reilly has). I&#8217;ll be bringing them to the next meeting this week and sharing them with my fellow chix. Being a LUG coordinator is so cool.<\/p>\n<p>On friday night we ordered pizza and wings and decided to dig through some of Myk&#8217;s movies. He has Bladerunner! And not the Directors Cut! I had been looking around for the non-director&#8217;s cut for quite some time because I had never seen it&#8230; It was great to be able to watch it, and a whole new experience since reading the book, things were much more clear to me. We really need to get it on DVD sometime.<\/p>\n<p><lj-cut><br \/>\nSaturday was pretty slow. Around 4:30 we headed out to find some dinner. Most places were too busy, so we ended up grabbing a quick dinner at our local Drafting Room. I quickly remembered why we usually drive the 45 minutes to the Exton one instead of going to this one that&#8217;s 2 miles from home %) The service and food were mediocre, there was just no love! We finished around 6:30 and headed off to Center City Philadelphia.<\/p>\n<p>We were going to St Mary&#8217;s for a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thegatherings.org\/47gather.html\">Michael Stearns Concert<\/a>. The traffic was terrible, but we were able to get there by 7:35, when the doors were opening at the church. Got great seats. The concert began around 8:15, and it was really great. We brought a big pillow because the pews are too hard to sit on for 2 hours ;) So we were quite comfortable during the whole thing. During the concert Stearns had a screen up that showed images\/movies etc that went along with his songs. It was quite enjoyable, I never felt like I wanted a song to end (which has happened a few times in the past at ambient concerts). It really was a wonderful time. Concert ended a little after 10.<\/p>\n<p>I went to bed soon after we got back home because I was tired and my stomach hurt a little (I assumed it was because of the cheese on my dinner).<\/p>\n<p>On sunday I woke up with an upset stomach, was pretty much in bed all day. Myk was so great to me, even did the grocery shopping %) When he came home he made me dinner (soup and crackers) and a bath. Even though I was sick Myk really did make the day bearable.<\/p>\n<p>I was depressed some this weekend as well. Crazy brain chemicals. I&#8217;m feeling better now, but boy do those down times suck. Makes me feel like such a crazy woman %(<\/p>\n<p>This morning I woke up still feeling sorta bad, I went back to bed for most of the morning. Got up around noon because I was thirsty, and after some water I decided I felt well enough to have some juice and some lunch. I think I was just tired and dehydrated this morning, feeling quite a bit better now, stomach isn&#8217;t upset anymore, YAY!<\/p>\n<p>My cousin Erica called this afternoon. She told me about taking my sister Heather (20) out to the mall and to get a haircut. I guess Erica has sorta adopted Heather as a charity &#8220;makeover&#8221; case, she is trying to get her to sorta grow up a bit, take care of herself better, look and dress more like an adult. I am not sure what happened with Heather and I, but we do have the same basic problem, somewhere in the teenage years we &#8220;missed&#8221; something. Neither of us cared too much about our appearance, and so we never got into the habit of wearing makeup or dressing decently. Luckily I have begun to grasp my adultness (even if I still won&#8217;t wear makeup) and work<br \/>\n on improving myself&#8230; and I&#8217;ve always had much better hygiene habits than Heather. I&#8217;m glad Erica is giving her some help, someone needs to be there for her.<\/p>\n<p>Erica also invited us up to New Hampshire for thanksgiving. That&#8217;s the 4th thanksgiving plan we&#8217;ve had proposed to us this year! I politely declined, saying that we did have plans, and telling her that we were quite busy around then (we sent in the notice that we&#8217;re going to move out of here at the beginning of December, so we&#8217;ll be moving *somewhere* whether it be another apartment, or our own home..)<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the afternoon I spent just doing a few things around the apartment. There were a bunch of boxes in our living room from when we brought things home from Myk&#8217;s mother&#8217;s, so I cleaned those up (saved the boxes, they will be good when we move&#8230;) and I put all of our CDs with cases together, it looks much nicer in here now.<\/p>\n<p>Now I&#8217;m going to go check email and stuff *wanders off*<\/p>\n<p><\/lj-cut><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>o\/` The Cure &#8211; The Walk o\/` Friday after I posted my entry I got a knock on the door.
