Fall project.
Mood:

Wuuuu huuuuu! I finally had some time to take the hose and check to see if I can make a little waterfall on my patio and voila, I can. I wonder if the guy who built the house planned for this because he chose this HUGE rock with 2 indentations at the front and a slope. So basically if you put a hose at the top of the rock the water flows neatly down these two indentations and down the other rocks (surprisingly AWAY from the house) and down into a little basin at the bottom of the rocks.

Now the beauty of this is that all I need to do is dig a hole at the base of the rockface large enough to accomodate some pond lining and some pots (for plants on the side). Then arrange some lava rocks instead of the sand that's now inbetween the rocks and buy a good pump. I'm going to need an uptake/return pump with a filter and some sort of auto-shut off mechanism in case it gets clogged up because there's trees overhanging the whole arrangement. It's a beautiful spot really, and all I want is the sound of the water trickling down into the pond and then back up again throughout the summer. I think it'll be whicked! (This was last year's plan but we got too busy trying to finish the downstairs to work on "trivial" projects).

9:41 p.m. - MMmmmmmm.... soup

I'm babysitting my mom's soup in the kitchen, although technically it's OUR soup because it's veggie. Damn, I'm going to be having soup for the next WEEK we made so much! It was purely accidental but I'll be chugging it down for sure, hehehe. Damn I love wireless *sigh*. Oh, except for Red's mouse which I am currently using in lieu of my broken mouse.

I made a hair appointment for Friday finally. Julie is off all last week of August and I can't wait until school starts because it'll take me at least 2 months to get into a routine where I can then start going places in the middle of the day. The two months will give me plenty of time and then I can get my roots retouched again.

I should probably go soon. Grab a bath then do abs or something. I'm so tired though and it's only 9:44. We went for a one hour walk, I have no idea what my problem's been lately, I've been feeling rather tired and stuff needs to be done. I think the work is draining me. Lately it's been rather difficult.

I went online for a bit today during my break though and added all the stuff I wanted to get from one of my fave Japanese decour sites and it came out to about 350 american, the only problem is, I can't ship it to Canada. So I can only use that site as an absolute last resort because shipping LARGE items like this to Jim & Les would be a bit of a pain. Now I have to go find some Asian/Japanese stores and at least buy the end tables and a kimono wall mount. Then I can get the kimono I picked out from the site and the screen. That'll save on shipping. Or else (if I'm lucky) I can maybe find a store nice enough to get it for me from a supplier.

We shall see... I still need to find a cherry tree, bamboo plants, a "natural" wisteria tree (blue) and a nice bonsai tree. All silk. Again, I have a site online I've been looking at but I'd much rather see things like this in person for a final decision.

Ok, I gotta run, need to finish watching that "human - animal" show I taped off of TLC. Damn those people fascinate me. The only non-human thing I have are my elvin ears, lol... must be some long long long line of elfs running through my family somewhere.
