My new bed sucks!

So...you've no doubt read about my head injury when I got my new bed...if you haven't...scroll down. 


Bought a new bed about a month ago...it is already falling apart.  The bed is so poorly put together that the spring system on the inside is trying to get out.


So what would you do?  I went to the damn furniture store.  Told them what's going on, and the lady said, "Oh, that's not good!"  Well, no shit shirlock!  So, she takes my name and number and says that she's have the repair guy for the store call and come take a look at it.  That was Tuesday...it is officially Saturday!  It's only gotten worse as the week progressed.  I paid approx. $650 for a TWIN bed.  I did it because I had a bed by the same company that I absolutely LOVE!  So, I figured it'd be the same quality.  Boy was I wrong. 

So, now I have to go fight with them and make them take back their bed, and let me pick out a new one.  I don't want another one that's just gonna do the same damn thing, would you?





On a side note...my little black Dauchsund, Finley, is a mean bug killer!  She eats flies like they're a yummy candy.  Who needs a fly swatter?

Drumset a la Hilskie

I am so excited...finally...I put my drum set together...

Got a new (new to me) bass pedal off ebay for $25, it retails for $195...Not every day that kind of deal happens!!  

I still need to clean my cymbals...didn't even wipe the dust off them...who has time for that when there's drumming to do??

So, here's a picture of my set up.  Apparently, I really like the color burgundy...if you notice my bass guitar on the side...it's burgundy just like my drumset.

My head hurts..

Soooo...
Some of you keeping up with the Hilskie saga...I have officially gotten a smaller bed, and now my drum set fits in my room!!! I'm sooo excited! Well...there's a shelf over my bed, and I have had a bed in this spot before, but this new bed is a bit taller...you can probably tell where this is going...I wanted to get an extension chord behind the bed, as I laid on the bed to get behind it...

*WHAP*

I smacked my head into the corner of the shelf...and for your viewing pleasures...I post pictures. Most of the time head wounds bleed and bleed and bleed...even if they aren't that bad...me however...I'm not like that. It hardly bled at all...tho' I feel a little concussed...I feel pretty fortunate. If you look close you can see the corner in the gash.. LOL

Gravity sucks!

For as long as I can remember, my parents have had a waterbed.  Today at 8am...my mom calls us in hysterics.  Her water bed sprung a leak, and was leaking into the downstairs living room!!!

SO...my sister and I, being the good daughters we are, go to my mom's, and help.  My dad is a Long haul trucker for some reason, so he's gone right now.  It was such a mess people.

So, I got the hose hooked up to the bed, and draining properly...a little bit after this, I went outside to make sure it was still draining the bed. 

I'm from Washington and it's been raining for like 2 weeks straight...and everything gets mildewy....I stepped off the porch and landed on my ass!  UGH!!!  My tailbone hurts so bad!  I'm sitting on ice wishing I could just wake up in a few weeks when my back side doesn't hurt anymore.  When things like this happen (falling on my ass, upstairs waterbed leaking), I'm reminded that....


GRAVITY SUCKS!

twin bed

So...i've decided to get a twin bed.  Yeah, I know I'm not a little kid anymore...but sacrifices must be made.  I'll tell you why...

My drumset doesn't fit in my house.  I have missed my drums...I'm sure my neighbors won't be so jazzed about me having them in a few weeks.  But...I don't care!  My set is currently at a friends house...and since possession is 9/10 of the law...I need to get them out of there. 

At the moment I have a Full size bed...it's not your average bed..it is the absolute most comfortable bed I have ever had!  But if I get a twin bed, I will have room for my drumset.  I have done all the measurements.  Everyone around me thinks I'm crazy...but once it's all said and done...this is what will be in my room

• twin bed
• desk
• TV on desk
• xbox 360 on desk
• bookshelf
• bass guitar
• Drumset!!!

Sounds good to me!
