Kiss Kiss Munch Munch!
Been a little lax about updating, but I've been busy. I've fallen into the swing of work very comfortably, and it's rare for something to come up that I don't know how to do yet these days. I like everyone, though it bugs me when Paul sends me home early on dead days because I need the moneys, but I feel bad being all "NO. I will make you pay me to sit here and do nothing! HA!" yanno? Whatever, I can usually hide somewhere or find something putter with to at least get almost a full shift, and it's still pretty rare for it to be dead anyway so I guess I'm just bitching.
We've settled into the house well, and are basically unpacked and fully moved in by now. Max still has his shit everywhere but that's because we only went and got his stuff last weekend and I had already commandeered the bookshelves. :3 He has lots of electrical and random crap that we have no idea where to put, so it's just strewn about the living room. CHAOS EVERYWHERE.
Actually, it's been pretty nice and low-key. No more gas problems (STUPID FUCKING PLUMBER) or anything, and Max powerwashed the back patio thing so it's not all slippery from moss anymore. There are a billion cats in the neighborhood so I always wake up to cat footprints all over my car and glowy eyes peeking over the epic grass of the backyard. Max thinks he saw a bunny back there, but it may have just been a retard cat with weird ears. We did notice that there may be a cross-wire problem with the neighbor's doorbell, though... oh well, a little insanity is good.
Rosie visited a little while ago and we all (being me, mom, Max, Rosie, Chris, Jessica, LB, Heidi, and Logan) packed up and went to the snow. It was during a stretch where it had been raining like mad here, so there was SO MUCH SNOW. It was awesome, even if it was a bit of a challenge making sure everyone was properly waterproofed. Logan had fun being towed around in an inner-tube and bundled up, and the snow was beautifully fresh so we could actually do that movie thing where you roll a snowball and it gets bigger from the fresh flakes instead of just sitting there like a lump. We topped it off with some random mediocre Chinese buffet and Chris mistaking the Chinese waiter's offer of vanilla ice cream for banana because of accent difficulties.
We also went *drumroll* wedding dress shopping with Rosie! OMG she has the perfect body for dresses, I swear to god. She's so cute and she was SO HAPPY, and our consultant girl was really nice too, though we were hogging her from her other appointment but eh, FUCK EM. I kept thinking that Alicia better get on the damn ball because the dresses that are in fashion right now are TOTALLY her style, all classic and retro. I always wonder if she secretly has a fiance she's hiding from us all or something, she's so secretive about her love life.
...Max's character in Fable 2 is named Dumpling. Wtf? Now I want potstickers, fuck.
Anyhoo, that was a fun visit and it was nice being able to have Rosie and Chris HERE instead of overrunning the house already full of old ladies. They've settled in there nicely, though it's looking increasingly likely that June will become a permanent fixture. :/ I got kind of offended when I went back one day and Nancy had up and boxed up what little remained in my room without my consent so they could move her up there, and I got upset on the drive home, but I guess it was inevitable. i felt worse when June did the same with Alicia's stuff, because she NEEDS to stay at that house at least 2 nights a week for her job at Tracy Sutter. I offered her the spare room here but that's inconvenient for when she works in Tracy anyway.
I feel bad that Mom has to bear all the brunt of Nancy and June's occasional craziness. They up and invited themselves along when mom said "Kay, off to go wedding dress shopping with Rosie now!" They just piled into the car. What the damn fuck? Neither of them even know Rosie AT ALL, it was a wedding-centric trip so we had absolutely no intentions of even going to, say, a mall where they could wander around on their own, and JUNE IS FUCKING BLIND. We were all a bit ticked off at that, but it ended up not being much of an issue because there was a Walmart nearby for them to putter around, but it baffled me how they thought that was okay. They also get offended when mom wants to do things like go see a movie without them or invites Jessica and family over (because the baby is a handful and neither of them ever had to deal with an infant) but it's like, dude, it's MOM'S house and mom's life, she is doing you a courtesy by being there for you infirm wrinkle-bags. Couple that with Nancy's CONSTANT insistence that she owns this, or has seen that, or this (BRAND NEW PREMIERE) episode is a rerun, and I hope she's not getting horribly run down under the stress of it all.
Well, that was a bit depressing. I should go bake a cake or something...
I should have an official housewarming party or something once I replenish the moving/furnishing-costs deficit, even though most of you have already been to the place. I JUST WANT TO HANG OUT, DAMMIT. I end up being off for like 5 days in a row rather often just by schedule wackiness and it gets boring, man. Especially with my lack of school this semester, due to some transferring/outstanding school balance snafus, but that'll get sorted out next round. Just makes thing exceptionally boring for now.
I should make a trip to the fabric store to make curtains for this place. It's bad enough having no art (it seems off to put up posters in a HOUSE so the only thing on my walls is my pig-orange, meat-ghost, and Guaymas coconut head) but no curtains makes this place insanely blank. At least HamHam spices it up a little. (Omg, hamster ball on hardwood is hilarious.)
And.... that's about all I got, I think.
