(no subject)
This is me not starting this entry with lamentations about how I haven't posted for months.
So life's been good. No real major developments, other than being caught up in the whirlwind of Rosie's wedding for most of Sept and part of October. I was a bridesmaid. :B I also baked the cake, which was bitchin' if I do say so myself. Lemon-almond, with buttercream and fondant. Halloween has come and gone uneventfully. I just rocked a closet costume and nursed Max back to health since he was stuck in a vat of throat icky for like a week. Boy needs his tonsils out, Itellyouwhat. It was nice decorating my own house for once, even though we used mom's Halloween stuff to do so. We had SO MANY PUMPKINS. (Max has a little garden and the pumpkins became sentient and took over all other forms of life, save the tomatoes which turned out similarly mutated and hyperfertile.
All the drama with mumsy is FINALLY FOR REAL over, and the house is all nice and renovated, minus some tiny cosmetic additions like the backsplash we're DIYing when we get the time. It's a cute house after all the filth and ghetto was scraped off! The doggies have adjusted well, though they miss the staircase where they could look out the front door. They've adopted Nancy as Mom #2, or rather her stand-in when mom is at work. Nancy seems a little... too proud of this in the face of the fact that they would love a serial rapist and philanderer if he gave them snuffles.
Mom just got back from Hawaii, where she had fun but they were minorly thwarted by the fact it's winter so it was kinda like being in Santa Cruz in weather terms, though the water was apparently still awesome. They saw lotsa turtles. I got souvenirs. Mia got the BEST SOUVENIR EVER that she has yet to receive, though I promise, it's bitchin'er than anything ever bitchin'd. SHE BETTER LOVE IT.
SPEAKING OF VACATION I am so excited because from Thanksgiving to the beginning of December I get to go to CHICAGOOOOOO. Pardon me while I explode from anticipation. Seeing Tia, plus exploring new locales and delicious fooooood. Cannot wait. The only sad thing is that I won't be on the same flight as Mia and Mike because I'm a retard and waited to long (or rather, was poor too long) to buy my tickets. But that's okay, because even if I had, like, ignored my bills, I wouldn't have had seats BESIDE them anyway so it don't matter. Practically the same. I'm exciiiited. Too bad Max can't go because of work, but I will just bring him a spectacular gift, and he'll have a chance to hang with his family a bit which seems rare these days.
Life is pretty good. Now, back to work!
