I know this is a few weeks off still, but for any of you who don't have other plans for the 4th, we are hopefully going to be doing a big BBQ at our house. You can see the Meridian fireworks display from our driveway, which I personally think is really cool (but then again, I am easily entertained). Food and beer and meaningful togetherness will ( Read more... )

For those of you who have asked for it, here is my birthday list. It seemed too early to post it, but I guess we're only a little over two weeks away! It's on the 22nd, so that night we'll be doing something if any of you guys are available to join us. More on that later.

So, in case you care, here are some (okay, a lot of) ideas.

Yesterday we finally started the very daunting (okay, more like terrifying) job of refinishing our hardwood floors in the master bedroom. A lot of home improvement projects give you the instructions online and say things like, "A lot of people hire this done, but it's so easy to do yourself, they're just stupid to spend the money!". With the ( Read more... )

We are doing a lot of shopping trying to get all the stuff we need for the house to get it looking decent by the time our friends come in from out of town, and I have to say, it's weird. I love to shop, but I'm not used to buying anything. I usually have to weigh every purchase so carefully, and go home and think about it, and prioritize, and put ( Read more... )

Last night at bellydance troupe rehearsal, one of my two remaining troupe mates was the only one who could make it. She and I talked about the possibility that it's time to disband the troupe. It's down to she and I and one other girl, and our instructor/troupe leader doesn't even show up anymore. She hasn't been around for the better part of a ( Read more... )

Saturday night Wendy and I went to a hafla (bellydance performance) in Caldwell. It made me think about why I'm wasting my time not performing. My troupe is going nowhere fast. Our instructor hardly shows up to rehearsals at all anymore. The two girls still in the troupe (several have moved away or left) have very little experience, so we don't ( Read more... )

Yes, it's that time again. It's been a few years since I've done this, so some of my new friends will now be indoctrinated into my yearly speech about St. Patrick's Day ( Read more... )

I just got a call from one of our employees. She was drunk (and yes, she is on the clock). She is drunk about 95% of the time she calls. She keeps me on the phone forever rambling about how much she hates the company and our bosses and how everything we do ticks her off. Oh, and she tries to make me talk to her pet bird ( Read more... )

Last night I went to my weight loss center's support group. It was just like in the movies, all of us sitting in a circle, sharing, with an oh so gentle and understanding counselor moderating ( Read more... )
