Life updates:
1. I passed my reporting class. Let's hear it, nice and loud: rock-freaking-star. Well, not quite so much, I skated by with a C, but I'm still pretty happy. Never doing that again, I tell you what. (And by that, I might mean "slack off so bad my teacher really wants to fail me, or it could mean just taking JMC 301 again. 'Cause now I don't have to. So we'll see if this experience actually taught me anything, but here's to hoping!)
2. I'm working a lot for the next two weeks. Our newest teammate, New Beth, is vacationing in Martha's Vineyard. She's a bit of an alcoholic, if I do say so mahself. She's functional though, I swear. :D
So, that means I'm picking up her Saturdays, and working Wednesdays so we have the afternoons covered. So, looking at the calendar, I'll be working from Thursday, July 26 all the way through Aug. 8. ( I hope.) At any rate, I need that next Saturday off, because:
3. Traffic school! For $50, they have to teach me how to drive. Again. (I must suck a t this whole driving thing. Apparently, they don't like it when I hit things. Or speed.) So Aug. 11, I'll be spending another lovely Saturday parked in the Goodyear Ramada Inn, gettin' my learnin' on. Or something. I really should practice pinning my hair so I can have my iPod on the whole time. Maybe get a book on tape. Or, or! I might take a notebook and write up some bumper questions for my traffic column that I inherited from Waffles (inherited, because he will die because of this) and do them while I'm there. Basically, the column is a bunch of really lame questions sent in by old people (My next door neighbor has expired tags. I'm a hateful old hag and part nazi, who can I call to report them?) to which I gather answers. This might actually be a good idea, since I've been recycling content for WEEKS. I think I've done it honestly... once?
4. I have to house sit on Tuesday and Wednesday. Really, this just means I need to stay at home. This is hard for me.
5. SHARK WEEK!!!!!!
6. I'm at chapter 26 in the new Harry Potter. I'm excited. I spent all yesterday (Saturday) reading at my desk. Louie V., one of my favorite editors, came by.
Louie: What are you reading?
Me: The new Harry Potter.
Louie: Oh, are you at the part where she kills off ....
Me: NOOOOOOOOOOOO
Louie: I'm kidding. I've never read any, but I like telling people that Harry comes out of the closet at the end of the last book.
-- End Scene --
7. My boyfriend just said, "If I could have sex with Google, I would." ::tear::
8. I'm getting married on Wednesday morning. City hall. Kisses. Here's my wedding ring:
kidding....
9. I made cookies last week, and they sucked. Mostly burnt and too sweet. I shall try again. See #4, provides extra opportunities for making foodz.
10. Waffles and I are making an extra effort to not eat out as much. So we're grocery shopping and making dinner. It's been fun so far. I made chicken with portobello mushrooms and red potatoes (I <3 potatoes) on Friday and Waffles made chicken quesadillas on Saturday. And we're headed to dinner at Waffle's parent's house tonight. Game set match.
Okay, that's about all I have left. Wait, I'll do some individual shout outs to all my fans--
Esther: Where are you? I'm glad you had fun on game night, I can't wait to do it again. Whenever you're feeling up to it, you know I love to host. I'm still annoyed that I forgot to wear my apron on Sunday. This will be fixed for next time. (It's so cute!!!)
Leah: I need to call you so much! I should have called today, since I don't really do anything at work. I'll call as soon as I'm off tonight, we'll have a chat while I head over to Ahwahtukee. And the Golden Eggroll sounds fantastic. I do love eggrolls.
Cassie: Are you a fan yet? Keep coming back? We need to go to a game, I'm so excited. :D They're mostly at home this month! Too bad I have to miss the Dbacks-Cubbies game. But if your Dad's in town, it'd be nice to take him.
Matt: I hate you, go blog. Thank you for making me a peanut butter sammich today. And yesterday. And chicken on Saturday. You're getting kinda good at feeding me.
Rachel the Whore: I have nothing to say to you, 'cept come for sleeps and movies on Tuesday.
G'night
Alice
I'm right here, Alice. I'm always right here :D
Game night was awesome. I'm sad I missed out on the apron though :/
1. I told you that you wouldn't pass with less than a C. I believe Matt assured you that as well. But noo. You wanted to be Ms Debbie Downer.
2. Sucks.
3. Might as well make the most of your situation. Prepare a list of questions. Bring a voice recorder. Ask alot of questions.
4. It's a good chance for you just to chill at home and watch up on quality time with your video games that has been sorely lacking lately.
5. Thank you. I almost completely forget about Shark Week. I made up for not watching earlier this past week by catching up on three hours of it today. Cool stuff.
6. What? You didn't know that Harry was gay? You couldn't tell by the way he was obsessing about Malfoy throughout the majority of book 6? It was pretty obvious.
7. Matt's a effen freak.
8. Lovely ring. Am I invited to the reception at least?
9. Recipe's are tricky things. You have to find the right ones that actually taste good.
10. Kudos.
