acid

hmph, i'm so mad (translation... feeling inconvenienced). i worked really hard to make sure that i was set up on automatic deposit for my tax return. i mailed in paperwork AND i updated my information in my tax form. BUT brendan's tax return was deposited this morning and i got a message saying mine was sent out in the mail today. i'm so annoyed. it'll take a week for it to come, and then another 5 days to clear with the bank because red-tape PC financial always holds cheques (which bugs me, i don't need them to police my banking). oh well. i shouldn't be so ungrateful. i am actually very thankful to be getting a tax return. i'm just impatient.
fang returned the keys yesterday. but it's weird, he gave us two back, but they're not the same. why am i surprised?

sometimes it takes me a while to wrap my head around changes in plans. last night brendan and nancy made a pretty strong case about putting vinyl flooring in the bathroom instead of clickfloor (if we layed the wood we'd have to disconnect the toilet which would be a major pain). now that i've had some time to think, i'm warming to the idea and will try to look for something nice. i think what bugs me about vinyl floor is that it's kind of an imposter. they design it to pretend that it's tile, when it's not. why don't they just come up with attractive and unique patterns. it could be similar to wall paper in the sense that they could print anything they want on there. if i was a vinyl floor designer i'd create something very art deco. yes, i think i would.
 
you'll be my breath should i grow old.

why not choose something that is clearly vinyl but has some retro charm of its own? work with it instead of trying to hide it? :) wish i could be there to help!

that's a good idea, beck! i'll try that approach. at work, they always say "if you can't hide it, feature it!"
