stuff and things
so i had a birthday and Kermit got me this awesome emerald necklace! i <3 it so! my parents gave me a weekend at some hotel neat Hearst's Castle with a tour or something, which is awesome as i've never been there before despite living only an hour and a half away...
my parents were just in town for the week (they've been living in Michigan for almost a year now, i guess) - they were already planning to be here on Thursday and Friday, but then my fake grandma (step-mother's mom) had a stroke and they came out early to see her. she seems to be doing fine and is sloooowly gaining back the use of her voice, legs, etc. she's a strong woman and i'm not worried about her - she's a total trooper. even my step-mom, who is known to be a worry-wart, seemed less worried than i expected, so that's a good sign. it was great to see them again...i spent a whole day hanging out with my dad, running errands and eating, just like old times. we even talked politics and oil. it was crazy!
i'm back working in the Cappucino Bar at work 3 days a week (still in the deli for 1). i'm still going to the worker's comp doc every two weeks for my wrist, but taking me out of the deli has seemed to make things a WORLD of better. the Cap Bar's current manager is leaving...actually, today was her last day, and all the various management upstairs people have been attacking me over the past two weeks to take over her duties, but the schedule is ass and it would basicly ruin any chance Kermit and i have of getting out lives back or spending any real time together (as it would require that i work one weekend day *every* week AND be there every Monday, so no Sa/Su w/Kerm and no Su/Mo, which was our perfect schedule of yore), so...forget that shiznit! it doesn't even pay that much better, so i'm content where i am for now. it's an honor just to be nominated, y'know...
i've been so absent here - it seems like nothing much goes on in my life. Kermit & I finished watching Six Feet Under a while back and i just really deeply and profoundly LOVE that show. it's like this perfect self-contained gem of awesome and i want to share it with as many people as possible. every single time i watch it, no matter wher ei am, it mirrors what's going on in my life in some way - every time through it's different characters i connect with or sittuations that i see reflected in my own life. i'll stop babbling now, but i love it so, it's nuts :)
i started him on season 1 of Battlestar Galactica, and he's loving that. it's nice watching it over, too - what a genius show. we're on season 2 now, i think...we haven't had time to watch this week with the parents coming early. we've been re-watching The West Wing (well, it's new to him) and we're mid 5th season. sometimes i have to remind myself that he's not really the president and that things are much more insane and stupid out in the real world, but for 45 minutes most mornings i get to live in my little fantasy world :)
we've watched Stop-Loss, The Bank Job and Run Fatboy Run recently...they went from crap to great, in that order.
