lame post here

Yesterday I had a bunch of pictures and no words, today it's the opposite. I had kind of a stressful day at work, a couple of people were sort of difficult to work with and there was an issue with some lost money. This morning I dropped a bottle in the bathroom and it broke and made a huge mess, there's a huge mess in the kitchen that I don't want to deal with, and I was just sort of grumpy overall. Then we had a great dinner, we cleaned off some crud that was on my car, Alfred took the stupid sunroof visor off of my car, and I'm now having a kahlua and cream and getting ready to knit. So I'm better now. But not feeling inspired to blog. So here's a video. Oh yeah, and Mike and Alfred were really good at shooting skeet this weekend.

big weekend

So, in between all of the drinking this weekend (I think my body's going through alcohol withdrawal tonight), we took the rhino out and did some shootin.'


Good times. We kicked some serious fruit ass.




So, yeah. Drinking and shooting, that pretty much sums up this weekend. And eating. I'm not sure I'm going to weigh myself for awhile, I don't think I want to know.

Ok, I've been trying to upload a video for about half an hour now, and it's not working for some reason. I'll try to put it up tomorrow.

power hour: complete

Ok. I just completed a power hour, plus the rest of whatever beer I was on at that point. Alfred and Mike almost did a Century Club. Or they may have. I'm not entirely sure. We were just comparing bruises from shooting yesterday: Mike and I are in the clear (Cen****s don't bruise) but Alfred and Maureene have bruises on their right arms/shoulders from the rifle and/or shotgun. (I have to disguise our last name, in case a stalker finds us.) Michael is the worst drunk dialer in the world. My dad can attest to that. Mike called him, but he (dad) told me that I didn't sound drunk. Which means that apparently I can handle my liquor better than Michael. Ok, this has taken me quite some time to type, because I keep going back to correct spelling. I think I'm about done. By the way, both Maureene and I thought our respective gentlemen were gay upon first meeting them. Does that say something?

sneak peek

Just a little glimpse of what's to come in my post about the weekend. I don't know if I'll post tomorrow, since Mike is still here and I assume we'll be doing some drinking. Hopefully this will hold everyone over until I do a real post...

happy birthday, dad!

Yup, it's Big Guy's birthday today. I called him this afternoon and spent 10 minutes hearing about how one of the dogs bit the other, and so he was trying to take a picture for me so I could see what he (the dog) looked like. Apparently he looked like Rocky (as in Balboa). We also discussed politics, which is always interesting. We don't tend to agree on politics, my dad and I. But that's ok. He doesn't read this, I don't think, but happy birthday anyway, just in case.

I also forgot to mention that yesterday was both Lindsay's and Allison's anniversary. They got married the exact same day, just a few miles apart, 3 years ago. I don't have any pictures of them to post. Sorry.

We just got back from dinner, I joined Alfred house sitting tonight so he took me out to eat. We went to a Cuban place, and it was pretty fantastic. I learned that I love fried plantains with a passion that burns from the bottom of my heart. We got a bit of a late start because Alfred's car battery died, so I had to go pick him up at work and hold a flashlight (tough work) while he took out the battery. Stupid car. We're trying to figure out a plan now to get him back to his car tomorrow. I think he thinks I'm not listening and is getting annoyed. Sorry honey. Ok we have to go pick up a car from his parents. Peace out, girl scout.

it's the cheesiest

It's a good thing I'm married, cause otherwise I'd be a workaholic. Alfred's house sitting tonight, and I didn't get home until about quarter after 8. I'm just eating dinner right now, at about ten to nine. I'm having a nutritious meal of kraft mac and cheese. Unfortunately I somehow ended up with a box of spirals instead of the normal noodles. I don't know if I bought it in a fit of insanity, or if Alfred raided Katie's cabinets and found it there. If so, I can only assume she was insane at the time of purchase. Now I know kraft isn't exactly gourmet, but the regular noodles are lovely and delicious, while these spirals are crazy and unpleasant. Will that stop me from eating the entire box? Probably not. (edit: it didn't) But at least I have a nice big glass of chocolate milk to wash it down.

So we had a really busy day at work today, mainly because today was the first day we had tours at the new museum. I probably walked 2 miles today just going back and forth across the street. The opening permit was just issued from the city this week, just in time. The only program open there right now is the Indian, which looks awesome.



The new archaeological program will be open next week, because that's when the first one is booked, then I don't know when the rest will be ready. Hopefully by March, because that's when we have all 8 programs booked. I hope it all comes together in time, cause we just barely squeaked by for today.

yowza

I totally ran out of time to blog last night. I didn't get home from work until after 7, then I had to make dinner, empty the dishwasher, clean up the kitchen, wash a bunch of dishes, fold laundry, iron, and cut my nails. No time for blogging! See?

I made the same pumpkin sausage soup we made last weekend, but it was way better this time. We had another pretty awesome dinner tonight, I made Puerto Rican style chicken and beans. Then I decided to sit on my ass and watch SNL's election special from last night instead of cleaning the house, so luckily for everyone I can also blog.

We spent Halloween night at Ilya and Mercedes' house handing out candy to kids. There weren't a ton of kids, but there were enough to entertain me. I also got dressed up a bit. Apparently I looked kind of creepy.

Alfred dressed up as a toucan. It's hard to see in this picture, but at least it's a good shot of his beard. It's impressive, no? Mercedes was a lion and Ilya was an elephant.

As I was taking off my makeup, I realized that the blue around my eyes made it look like I had a black eye, and the red around my mouth looked like blood, so we had to take a picture of us simulating domestic abuse.

Saturday we took the rhino out to the land Max owns where we're going to go this weekend with Mike to shoot things. We had to scope things out and get the lay of the land. Then coming home that evening I got pulled over for having a headlight out. Damn pigs. Luckily he let me off with only a warning. This is the second time I've had a headlight out in my life, and both times I got pulled over. This time the light was out for only 1 day when I got pulled over. I bought a new one yesterday and put it in myself, and it actually worked, so I was pretty proud of myself. Max and Alfred also fixed a few other things on my car this weekend, it's nice to have working windshield wiper solution for a change.

Ok, back to tv. I'm excited about the election, but I don't think we'll actually find out who won tonight. Maybe tomorrow, if we're lucky. I hope it doesn't run on for days like the last couple. Exciting stuff!
