So the convention was crazy. In the good way! )

Monday was a lot of sleeping. Tuesday happened and ... things!

So R.A. Dickey was doing a book signing of his autobiography (look, I don't care if he's only 37, he's still my favorite Met pitcher, and a really interesting guy to boot O K A Y), so hell yeah, I was all over that. I was in line for just less than an hour. And we couldn't take pictures with him, so I just got a picture of the guy in front of me.


He's making a derp face because he was in the middle of looking up and that was something I hadn't anticipated.

So I got tongue-tied and didn't really know what to say (and I didn't wanna be an obnoxious fan, and I didn't want to make him be there longer than he had to be, even if it were just a second or two), so I just said hi, how are you, thanked him and left.


BUT I DON'T CARE BECAUSE I GOT MY BOOK SIGNED!

So then I went to IKEA with Guillermo, and we gorged ourselves on meatballs and mashed potatoes so much that we could hardly shuffle through the halls. I wasn't really looking for it, but I found a neat swivel chair and wound up buying it. The mission of the day, though, was rugs to cover the new floor, and it was successful. I also got some lignonberry sauce because FUCK YEAH, a new wastepaper basket and a recipe card for some salmon casserole that's gonna be all up in this bitch sometime next week. I would have taken the frozen food home, but it was like "DO NOT FREEZE AFTER THAWING" and it takes me two hours to get home from Brooklyn. ._. Okay.


But yeah, check it out, if you'll ignore the rest of the mess. There's another little rug right at the doorway; I was standing on it when I took that photo.

This pretty much took all day, as I got home at 8:30, just in time to watch the Mets lose their first game of the season. ;a; But that's okay because my IKEAdventure (i.e., putting my chair together) was totally smooth sailing. I'm sad to get rid of the bench I used before because I've had it since I was ten, but it's uncomfortable and pretty wobbly. trying to squash my hoarding tendencies because in eight hours it'll be gone forever and i have to understand that that's okay

Aaaaaaand yeah. I've earned my sleep. NHL playoffs start tomorrow! \o/
