the cleaning goes on

I wonder if being angry with the person you’re dating is a motivator for cleaning or if I’m just going crazy. I did more cleaning today. I put all of my computer related CD’s away and cleaned my in and out trays. I can see the majority of my desk! The weird part has been finding old photos, letters, and notes from my ex that seem to be hiding in all kinds of places in my room.

I also found a receipt for my wii remote that I had been looking for, but it doesn’t matter anymore now because I sent it to Nintendo to get it repaired. I bought a wii remote out of the package at this place called Luna Games down near where my boyfriend lives. The first one did not work. Stacey was over playing wii for the first time and the remote was acting all weird. We were playing baseball and the bat would just sit in one spot – we found that if we smacked it against the desk you could swing it once before you had to whack it again. I exchanged it for another remote, only to find that this one was upside down. To make the pointer go left, you had to point right, etc. And since I couldn’t find my receipt and I didn’t feel like going back there, I just sent it off to get repaired. Yay.

Anyway, here are some of my other discoveries from my cleaning: I have a library card for the Carlsbad Library (probably from when I used to work up there), my old expired license from 2003, ticket stubs for concerts I went to in 2003 (Flogging Molly and Jason Mraz), a basket full of pennies, a list of things to do if we got bored that my ex wrote when I went to visit him in Kansas, my old address book from when I was in junior high with phone numbers from plenty of people I never called with notes like “crank call?” and “bitch” – the back of it has a notes section and had my “Top 5 Hot Guys” for about 5 years in a row, plus a list of all of my Christmas presents from various years. Awesome.
