i'm not sure what we should do tonight

i've given it a lot of thought
what would he like to read now
what would be the best
or most logical
or whatever
and
i can't decide

my head hurts
and it's happy happy blood time
and, really
i want to curl up on the couch and drink beer

which is actually what i've been doing
and
what i really want to do
that if i had a cheering section i might work up the motivation for
i want to hang my shelves

i've had these shelves, forever
they are antique, i think
and they are from afghanistan or environs

and
i have never hung them
because the guy i bought them from put some handmade
wrought iron hanging hardware on
and every time i go to hang them
i convince myself that i'll tear up the sheet rock
and, i rent, ya know, so i put em back down

anyway
i finally decided

  1. where i want them
  2. to take off the hardware and use brackets
  3. that i needed a cordless drill
now
you gotta understand
i have always wanted a cordless drill
but i do not need one

i now own a ridgid 12v cordless drill

no
not a makita 18v
which is top of the line, more powerful, and was, afterall
the same price (sort of)
but this one is better for the things i might actually do
it doesn't have the large boxy battery on the bottom
so it should get into tight spots better

but
it was all i could do to walk away from more power
and i didn't even stop to think at the time
how funny that kinda was

the sales guy thought i was buying a gift for my husband
but when i straightened him out
he actually asked me if i saw what a pretty color the makita was
really?!
