ahoy, ahoy

I just thought I'd check in for a little bit, since I haven't really written in my journal in a few days.

Wednesday night I spent the night bonding with my mother. We made cookies and I typed up their Christmas letter for her. The section she wrote up about me was only a few sentences long and it was all about work. Huh? I asked her if that's all she thought about me, my work, and she said I was boring. Me?!? Gee, thanks mom. Needless to say, I rewrote my section in the letter. ;)

I was supposed to see Blackstone Cherri do one of their last gigs on Saturday night, but I really couldn't afford the trip up north. Instead, I ended up dog sitting while my parent's spent the weekend in Chicago. I spent a lot of Saturday at home, packing some books and taking down my Faster Pussycat wall. My apartment looks so bare without that stuff! My dogs were very happy that I was there with them and pretty much hung around me all weekend. Including sleeping on top of my feet. And boy, is that comfy.

I talked to Ann for a while last night. We decided that we're not going to Vegas for New Year's. Since I'm moving that weekend, it's probably good not to go. I'm okay with it, and I might get to see her on NYE anyways. I'll probably take the time off from work anyways so I'll have time to pack and clean. This does mean that I am 100% for sure going to Chicago for Adler's Appetite next weekend. And I get to see all my girls!

While I was at my parent's house, I did six loads of laundry. Now all of my towels, dish rags, sheets, and clothes are clean. Yay! I also spent time working on my scrapbook. I almost have all of the Faster pages done! But my dogs didn't like it when I was working on the scrapbook because they couldn't curl up with me. So I spent the afternoon reading in a comfy chair with Earl next to me and Riley sitting on my feet.

Now I'm home and have an exciting night ahead of me. I have to wrap my secret santa gifts and I want to finish a couple scrapbook pages. And I think that's about it.

Me too! I talked to Gretchen last night & she's going to see if she can make it. She's not sure that she'll have the money and she's a little worried about driving all that way by herself since her car's been acting up. She's going to call me later in the week to let me know what's going on.
