So dave came home the other day and made me feel much better.
My cousin Katie got married on 8-8-08 and had an Associated Press article about it made, which was weird. And they kept getting calls and emails from china and japan wishing them luck. 8-8-08 is apparently very auspicious. We had fun at the wedding and reception, it was in an art gallery which was pretty neat. And the reception they had tapas which was awesome. They had a very good orator, or priest I guess but you know that is what priest do is orate, and it was very cozy. I liked it a lot better than I liked the other weddings I’ve been to.
We got to visit with Dave’s mom, which was fun. Dave got new pants and a shirt, and we went to the beach. I like the beach, even though its murky water because there are so many rivers emptying their sediment loads in that area.
Over all it has been an awesome week. I just had lunch with Dave and Nick and I’m now chillin. I’m gonna have to clean out our cabinets in the kitchen though, and clean up the computer room. We’re getting sprayed for bugs tomorrow and they need to spray in the kitchen and the cabinets. I have to clean up the comp room because I don’t know when they are going to be coming and I work so I have to lock up Franklin. I usually would use the bathroom but I need them to spray in there. Maybe they will get here early and I’ll still be here.
Anyways, I’m gonna chill some more.
Seriously. My awful day could have been avoided by asking questions
I’m sorry the first thing I blog in forever is about how crappy my day is but I think I’m about to explode from stress.
I took Franklin to the vet today and he was yowling the whole time we were there and hissed at the vet. He has never done this, usually he is very calm and sits there quietly even when he gets his shots. The vet just examined him and weighed him so I could get his flea stuff.
This was stressful but I got over it pretty quick.
I went to lunch with Nick and Dave and Aaron and Anna and we had a good lunch, but I was a dumbass and couldn’t parallel park. I’d never practiced parallel parking in this car but its rediculous that I can’t do it! I parallel parked a full size truck for five years! After making a fool of myself I gave up and found a spot I could park in normally. It was embarrassing but whatever, parallel parking isn’t that important.
I came home and tried to hook up my computer and the router since it hasn’t been connected yet and nothing works. I finally waste an hour trying to get the router to work after getting my computer running and give up and go grocery shopping.
I stopped by Madness Comics & Games and picked up a booster pack of DnD Minis and signed up for some comic subscriptions since Dave likes some comics and we get a 10% discount on them if we have a subscription. That was fun, it picked me up and I went to the Cupboard to get groceries.
The Cupboard is a locally owned place, and I like getting stuff from local places instead of chains. The only problem is everything is a little more expensive because they don’t buy the same amounts of crap that a giant chain store does. Also they have natural and organic foods. I don’t really care about organic foods but I’ve been trying to eat healthier and hoping Dave will start eating healthier too. Dave eats a lot of junk, and he doesn’t want to walk with me or swim with me or do anything involving burning calories that could be considered healthy with me. It is frustrating but I can’t make him do something he doesn’t want to do, so I’m trying to buy healthier foods. Anyways, everything went fairly well at the grocery store. I even found some local eggs, which is cool. And I got their bulk detergents for laundry and dishwashing.
Only I guess I didn’t pay attention and I got the wrong dish washing detergent, I got the stuff for hand washing, I guess and I didn’t realize and I tried to wash the dishes in the automatic dishwasher and there is soap everywhere and I dunno how to get it out of the damn dishwasher.
I’m incredibly frustrated and upset and mad at myself for not asking someone about their stupid bulk soaps and detergents and if you could use them in what. Very mad at myself, I feel like I’m gonna pop or something.
Ugh.
I guess it would be funny if it wasn’t such a horrible mess. Maybe I will feel better later.
