So...it's been almost two whole months since an update. What have I been up to, you ask? Not a whole hell of a lot, actually.
Mom's Wedding: Went pretty well, better than I was expecting. Only awkward when people made horrible newlywed jokes about my mother. I will always be a little scarred. On the funny side, I got to see Ben's dad do a horrible version of the YMCA (he claimed he couldn't spell) and try to teach his mom and my mom how to line dance.
Christmas: Fun times were had by all. Ate tons of horrible, greasy goodness while in SA, as was the plan. Played with the Loers' new kitties, Linus and Lucy. Played Balderdash under the influence with my family...and then the word "spermologer" came up. I'll leave that to your imagination. (On a side note, 6 days is a long time with family) Saw lots of old friends, including AJ, David, Frances, Meredith, and Meghan.
New Years: As our only friends here were out of town and given our general antisocial stance, we stayed home and made fun of "Superman Returns." Seriously, awful. I'm ok with most of the super heroes, in general, but Superman pisses me off. I mean, the man can do everything. Breathe ice, shoot heat rays from his eyes, lift anything, fly, block freaking bullets with his EYE... It's just no fun when the bad guys don't stand a chance.
Currently: Applying for job #2. Crossing my fingers for Barnes & Noble. Got a cute new "grown-up" haircut. Greatly enjoying married life. Playing way too much Neverwinter Nights 2. About to go start cooking dinner: tasty chicken enchiladas.
And I leave you with this gem from school. After trying to explain the "sponge on a stick" method of bathroom "hygiene" used by the Romans to my third graders, I was forced to allude to the fact that the ancient Romans did indeed have a large number of...um...illnesses. At this point one perceptive young lad yelled, horrified, "You mean BUTT DISEASES?!"
