Can anything go right?

I am pissed off again because I ordered a DVD storage cabinet and was very happy about this purchase and have waited 8 days for it to arrive. It's here. Most of it anyway. The box was a bit mangled when I got it, but I opened it up and every thing seemed to be unscathed. Even the glass for the doors was intact. I started putting it together right away because we all like to play with our new toys. Step 1 went fabulously. Step 2 however, not so much. Step 2 involves putting hinges on the doors. And that would be all fine and dandy if I had all 4 hinges. But no, again fate has conspired against me and there was only 1 hinge in the package. Nice. So now I have to wait until they respond to my email to see if they can send me more hinges. If they try to get me to send back the whole thing I will scream. The box is unuseable and I am not paying to send this thing back.

This is what it would look like if I could put it together.

Written two days ago posted now

I am tired and depressed. IT is 1:39am and I am typing here for no apparent reason other than I feel this urge to stay up as long as possible to make my self late for work in the morning. To make me feel worse and do less. I really want to turn my life around but it is harder than one may expect. I want to find my list of goals for 2006 to see if I accomplished them.

I found the list from 2006. The goals in bold are the ones I actually accomplished.


Post almost daily (At least I am realistic)
Post before reading other blogs (an activity that somehow sucks up at least 2 hours of my day)
Manage my money better (this involves 2 things)
Pay attention to where my money goes
Stop spending money on stupid things i.e.-$6+ drinks and fast food
Put money away towards a house/condo/permanent residence –a little anyway
Spend less on rent
Take at least one vacation –Hawaii, and Vegas
Take one road trip –New York to see Whatsername
Go to at least 2 major league baseball stadiums that I have not previously seen
Organize
Everything
Keep it organized
Buy a file cabinet –a small one but a file cabinet none the less
Study spanish at least once a week
Speak in Spanish to a native speaker for 1 hour once a week
Get my teeth fixed
Exercise 3 times a week
Run the Shamrock Shuffle
Run at least 3 5k races
Make it to Hawaii for That Drunk Girl's Birthday (Didn’t make it for the birthday)
Make love to someone I actually care about –She dumped me a month ago. Woo Hoo ain't life grand
Copy my posts (or type them somewhere else first) before damning them to the internet

Seven out of twenty three. Not even one-third. Better luck next year. I will add the unaccomplished ones to this years list to see if I leave them unaccomplished two years in a row.


Here are some goals for 2007:

Lose 40lbs of fat.
Gain 10lbs. of muscle.
Travel to 1 foreign country (already planned-London)
Make it to Hawaii for Amen’s birthday
Do things on time.
Be on time for work every day

Buy a house
Find if not buy an investment property

Start a side business.
Fix my teeth.
Go to the Dr.
Treat my depression, hairloss and bladder problem
Be organized.
Buy David and Jen something nice for their wedding.
Be more involved with Becca

Will still try to accomplish these:
