What the heck is wrong with me? I deserted you again. :( So sorry. So let's have a small catch up here.
What's new with me? (in bullet point format)
-My job still keeps me on my toes and frustrates the hell out of me but I have no plans to run off and be the next J.K. Rowling yet, so...HI HO, HI HO! (you know the rest)
-I'm working from home 2 days a week which has lightened the load a bit (yes Dave, I said "load"). It's allowed me to get more accomplished while still attending to a few more personal duties. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz............
-I've been taking guitar lessons! It was my birthday present from my sweetheart. So far, I'm a rock star. In case you were wondering. I can make it through the first page of the harmony chords of "Let it Be". As long as the tempo allows for about 5 seconds in between beats so I can change chords. ;) I'm finding that Mr. "C Major" chord and I are not getting along so well. He's just all over the place and I've not done my womanly duty by learning to play him like the obviously MALE chord that he is. I will dominate him though...oh yes...I will dominate him. Mmwhahaha!
-So...moving backwards here in a stream of consciousness (sorry), but my birthday was sublime. :) It was perfect. It was the best birthday I've had in at least 6 years, maybe more. I am truly happier than I've been in my life. Some things are still tough, but I sure do have a bunch of great people who love on me, given the opportunity. Dave gave me guitar lessons, I bought myself a new guitar and got a sweet deal and I look like a bad ass with my new oohwahli! Baaaaaaaam! He also took me on a romantic harbor cruise which was something I'd never done before. Ahhhhh... :) I had my first crabs of the year, some scrumptious steamers and a few Buds at Cantlers on the water and just kicked back an enjoyed being pampered. Thank you for all the phone calls and emails and cards, my friends...it was a perfect day.
Here is a picture of the guitar I bought. Its so hot. ;)
-Oh let's see what else? Well as most of you know, I had a legal hearing yesterday to kind of sum up the "old life". I don't think it's appropriate to discuss on the blog, but I will at least tell you that it was really tough, but I have a lot of really supportive, loving people in my life. Thank you for being there, thanks for the phone calls and emails. You know who you are. If your calls were unanswered, believe me, it doesn't mean they weren't recognized and appreciated. You rock my world bloggies. :)
-I'm back at good old Curves again. Slowly but surely, but it feels good. I've got myself on a more regular schedule and that's always good. (WAPNER! 5 minutes!)
-Meg Ryan is a dipstick. Also, I hate Wilfred Brimley. He is a nincompoop. As I was telling Heather this afternoon, on Yahoo Messenger, because I was working so hard, when did this man become a role model to the point where he can so forcefully boss us around in commercials? Was it his starring role on "Our House" that sealed the deal? I mean first its OATS...then medical coverage for old people (not a stretch here) but now Country Crock? God what next? I liked Country Crock too.... damn. I did really like that Movie "In and Out" where Kevin Kline was a closet homosexual. Good laughs. Wilfred played his dad and Debbie Reynolds played his mom. Later in the movie, Debbie's character admits that her husband has three testicles...and its disgusting. You know what? I bet that's true. Jerk.
-J.K. Rowling is stirring up the Harry Potter nerds again: STORY. God people, calm down, it's not an actual death threat. News Flash - it's not like Harry Potter is real or something. JUST KIDDING! Omg, just kidding. I'm so sorry. I shouldn't joke about that kind of stuff. Forgive...
-I saw "The DaVinci Code". I don't remember if I liked it or not. It was THAT good. Next topic...
-I saw the girls a couple of times recently. They are SO BIG! And funny too. I don't know how my dad handles them though because they are all over the place like puppies. It's kind of scary how fast they can move. This scares me about parenthood. Who is really in charge? But cute and SILLY they can be. They had little pigtails with curls last I saw them.
Exhibit A:
Exhibit B:
Also, very precocious. If you ask Cameron what sound a shark makes, she will say: "Dun Dunt Dun dunt Dun dunt! (like Jaws). If you ask McKenna when she's crabby if she is feeling emotional, she will very dramatically tell you, "Yeeeeeeessssss!" What a goofy Lee. Want proof of THAT?
Exhibit C:
Exhibit D:
Cute. :)
-Eddie, the dog from Fraiser is dead. His name was actually Moose and he was 16. That's 112 in dog years. Say hello to Cozette, Moose. You two old fogies can hang out in animal heaven. Which by the way DOES exist.
-We had a girl's night at our house sometime in April, with a Mexican theme. I had a REALLY good time ladies...thanks for the fun. I'd like to especially thank Lindsay for guessing WEIRD AL YANKOVIC
(which was the celebrity name taped to her back in the "guess which celebrity you are" game), but only when she was given the clue: "Tonight, Laura's hair looks like this singer-comedian's". Good times. Extra props to her for making me Kevin Federline. Holla!
-I am looking for something good to read on the Metro. I've worked my way through every book I own and I need something inspiring. Something that will make me anxious to get on that Metro and read each morning. Keep in mind I AM going to work, so it's going to have to be good enough to offset that. So any suggestions are very welcome.
Ok....I'm spent. If I think of anything even quasi-interesting to share (unlike this bunch of crap I just gave you) I will certainly add it to the mix.
Love ya! Miss ya!
