My Poor Back!

Oh man, my back is really killing me right now. I’m sitting at my desk doing some work and my back is in so much pain. Yikes. I haven’t really been doing work for very long so that’s not even the source of the back pain. My problem is that I made the mistake of sitting up at my desk all day watching videos online and now that I actually have to sit at my desk to work my back hurts. I always do that! I love to watch videos on my computer, but sitting here instead of in my bed is a really bad habit that I need to break.

If I had a comfortable desk chair that offered support for my back it wouldn’t be so bad but I don’t. So I’m basically sitting here for hours slumped over watching movies. Now my back is killing me. I wish I had the space in my bedroom for home theater seating. Maybe a reclining chair for when I’m watching videos? That would be so much better! I think I’ll stretch and rest my back for a while.

Spiffy Faucet!

I’m not sure whether or not you guys remember me blogging about my leaky kitchen faucet a while back, but I’m happy to report that it’s been fixed! Actually it’s been replaced. We got rid of the old faucet and replaced it with a pretty spiffy new one. At first I wasn’t really a big fan of the new faucet because it’s kind of fancy, but it’s definitely grown on me. All of my life I’ve used the kind of faucets that have the separate hot and cold handles, but the one that we have now only has one handle for both the hot and cold water. That definitely took some getting used to.

I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve been burnt because the water was further to the left than I anticipated. Now that I’ve gotten a hang of this faucet I love it! It’s probably one of the best kitchen faucets we’ve ever had. With that said, if we could keep this design but go back to the other style I’d jump at the chance!

Heavy Load!

I think I just received another sign that I need to stop eating junk food. The other day I purchased some munchies and for the past couple of days I’ve been eating them out of this box that I keep them in. However, I decided to clean up my room so I threw away all of the boxes that were in here. That prompted me to hang my junk food bag up on my dresser knob. As soon as I put the bag on the knob the knob began to fall off. Is that a sign that I have way too much junk food in the bag? LOL

It’s pretty bad that the bag is so heavy it makes the knob fall off. I’m hoping that the knob was already loose and hanging the bag from it just made the situation worse. I’m either going to have to hang my bag from more sturdy industrial knobs or stop buying so much junk food. I’m taking this as a sign! No more junk food for me. Well, after I eat this stuff. :P

Television Upgrade

I’ve been giving a lot of thought these past few months to getting a new television set and I think I’m finally going to do it for the new year. With all of these changes that are going to occur with the digital TV transition in February, it will be a great idea to have a new HD television. I currently have my eyes on a big widescreen flat-panel LCD HDTV. I’ve always wanted one of those because the television that I have now is one of those huge 20 inch tube televisions. Those are so old!

My other reason for wanting a new television is my space limitations. I don’t have as much room as I’m used to and having a bulky television is not going to cut it. A flat-panel television will take up a lot less space than the TV that I have now. I might even be able to get one of those pop up tv stands. I’ve always wanted one of those. I don’t watch television often, so when my TV isn’t in use I can keep it out of sight. I love that!
