Buyer's Remorse

I know it's not a huge purchase or anything, but I am trying to save up $2,000 to get through the summer without working (that is, if I don't get that WCC position). So, I spent almost $60.00 on Amazon, today. I got some old favorite movies on DVD -- Beautiful Girls (duh), Sixteen Candles (I've caught a bit here and there on television this week), Better Off Dead (while I was thinking of it), and Say Anything (the other movie I was thinking of for my students' critical analysis).

I also ordered a replacement copy of Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant which Ophelia ate (she hates it when I read and chews up any book that I've been reading if I leave it out). The book is for my mom. I maintain that Pearl, the "matriarch" of the family IS my grandmother--right down to the whole "checker-at-a-grocery-store" thing -- oh yeah, and let's not forget the blind thing.

On that note, Nana says she needs a room that is at least 12 x 12 when she move in. Um hm. I don't think so. The average ranch house has a room about that size for a master, not a second bedroom. I have a great idea. Why don't we move her into a nursing home where she can't take any of her own stuff and has to share a room that is 10x10 with another wheasing, hacking, lugieing, (did I spell that right?), smelly, bitchy, cranky, selfish, and procrastinating old woman. Venting. I will get over this, I swear. I hope so, anyway, because if she decides to die any time soon, I'm going to feel like shit. Oh being Catholic really sucks sometimes!
