Tonight...

I am going to go to the eye doctor, get a bottle of wine, eat a bowl of pasta, and watch Law & Order. Doesn't that sound swell?

Work has been...hmm...awkward. The President of my company is giving me the cold shoulder since I began a revolution in my office for more money. The Partner of my company is making a concerted effort to make me feel wanted and valued, so I am doing my best to stick it out for her. We'll see.

This weekend, we are going to a Mennonite wedding. Don't know what that is? Think Amish, but a bit more modern. There will be no drinking or dancing, so I am a tad concerned about how I will make friends, considering I typically loosen up when I am 1. Dancing and 2. Drinking. Again, we'll see.
Sunday is my mother-in-law's birthday, so me, the man, my sister-in-law, her man, mother-in-law, and father-in-law wait, just got off the phone, now grandparent's-in-law are coming too which means we probably have to reassess where we are going. Damn. I really wanted to go to Vietnam in the city. :-(

Did you know...

That Snuffleupagus was invisible to everyone except Big Bird?



I didn't!

And his first name was Aloysious?

Go fucking figure!

Live was so awesome AHHHHHHHHHHH

Really. Fantastic.
JR and I had an absolutely BALL drinking at Finnigan's then going to Festival Pier to see the show. Blues Traveler was incredible (+John Popper smoking a bowl on stage), Collective Soul was the fantastic rock star group, and Live was...well...LIVE. One hour, 45 minute long orgasm. Really truly great. Kind of wished they didn't close with Lightening Crashes...heard a rumor that they had been closing with White Discussion and that would have been saaaweeeet.
Saturday, JR and I tidied up the yard - he mowed the lawn, I weeded and let me tell you, an hour and half of work made quite the different. My friend came down from Jersey City for dinner and it was so much fun - three and a half bottles of wine later - we were hysterical on the couch! Such a nice time and so wonderful to catch up.
Sunday was super chill...started really nice...thought maybe I would lay out, JR was changing the oil on the cars so I grabbed a beach chair, put Seamus on the lead and hung out with him while listening to the new Disturbed album (Indestructible...quite kick ass...think I'll put it on again...already listened to it but hey, told you it was great). We're hanging out, and the sky to the west starts turning black. The sky in the east was this gorgeous blue/gold color. We start hearing faint rumblings, initially thinking it may be trucks or something - nope...THUNDER. I take Moo inside because if it began to downpour, there would be no way to avoid wet smelly dog in the house.
I go inside and check the weather station because JR said a huge system was coming - turn it on and there is literally one green speck over DELAWARE. I'm like...wtf? The radar shifts and this itty bitty green speck becomes a massive red/dark purple mass covering Philadelphia and south NJ. It howled all day - we lost power a few times but really just enjoyed each other's company while watching Lost and Shaun of the Dead. I <3 Sundays.
