The food today was wonderful. We went to Traci's as planned, and ate until I thought I'd bust. She made turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, candied yams, corn pudding, Watergate Salad (almost an ambrosia-type thing), cranberry-mandarin sauce, green chili with chicken, and wheat bread. I brought over some gluten-free green bean casserole ( Read more... )

I have my plane ticket for Vegas, baby!

Three hours and I'm off for three days.

LD and I are driving out to my friend Billie's house tomorrow to deliver her pug pup to her, then I'm off Monday and Tuesday (as my company just sent down a letter telling us that we all HAD to take a holiday now). I'm hoping to be able to do some good cleaning and cooking on my weekend ( Read more... )

Yesterday, my friend Billie came to town. She moved out to Delta, CO (about 30 miles from the Utah border) a year ago and I haven't been able to see her much since then. So, she came by and picked me up and we went running around for a bit. This unexpected visit meant that I got less than 4 hours of sleep, but seeing her was worth it ( Read more... )

I can't stand the blond anymore. I'm going back to my auburn with some lighter highlights. Pretty much my "natural". It's amazing how dark my roots look with that bleach blond to frame it. Yikes ( Read more... )

Well, Saturday night was my "stag" party with Fran. Unfortunately, I had to leave early so I could play in a tournament. The party was fun while I was there, though. We played multiple games that were penis-centric (ie, ring-around-the-penis, whack the penis pinata, the mini-penis walk and drop, and the wind-up jumping-johnny races). It was ( Read more... )

Not too long ago, I mentioned that I had joined up on a team in a pool league. We got the team put together (six people: five regulars and one sub) The name of the team? CJ's Sprouts. We play out of a little bar called CJ's, and the team lead has the nickname of "sprout", so it all made sense to us at the time. It's actually kinda cute (hey, I ( Read more... )

Next weekend is the first of the "bachelorette" nights and will be a combo thing for my friend Fran (who is getting married July 12) and I...and in following with my oh-so-crazy (ha) personality, we'll be scrap-booking! Now, to avoid any yawning over this, we've decided to do it in a very peculiar style...dressed as trampy as possible and doing ( Read more... )

LD and I have agreed to join up on a team in the local pool league. Yes, pool, as in 8-ball ( Read more... )

Tonight, before I had to come into work, was amazing.

One of our friends (the lovely Alyssa) had emailed us earlier in the week to make plans to catch the opening of the Portraits of the Golden Age of Jazz Exhibition at our local Fine Arts Center ( Read more... )
