I am SO not ready to go back to work today. Oh, man, I feel like I could stay home forever. Seriously, I've got the new David Sedaris book to read, a real cleaning urge has kicked in, and the new T.V. that's a wedding gift from Art's best man is just too nice to leave alone :)
Well, outside of my dismay at returning to real life, this weekend had distinct good and bad parts. I'll start with the good.
Art's sister is totally jazzed about the prospect of us having a baby now that we're married. She had a neighborhood garage sale, and the baby-related stuff that didn't sell got put in her storage shed for us. We now have a bouncy seat, carrier, exersaucer, walker, and crib, to be ours whenever we need them.
The new television we now have is freaking gorgeous. So gorgeous that we had to buy new furniture, ha! So off to Target we went to use up some of our gift cards. And now we have a beautiful new coffee table, end table, and entertainment center in a nice dark espresso stain. The wood is really solid too; I can't pick up our end table with one hand like I could with our Ikea stuff :) Now we have stuff to sell in our neighborhood garage sale come July.
And the bad? Our downstairs neighbor moved in. Or at least he moved in his dog. I don't think he has any furniture down there because the dog's howls echo like crazy through the whole place with the new hardwood floor. And boy, can he howl. I'm sure he's just sad about being left alone in a strange new place, but I'm about ready to go buy some throw rugs for his floors to dampen the sound a bit. Cody, thankfully, only spent a little time yesterday barking in response, and now he mostly ignores it. If I walk around loud enough it stops for a while too. This howling though is still ten times better than our old neighbor at the apartment singing "yeeeah!" day in and day out.
And now I have to get ready for work. Maybe if I didn't I wouldn't have to go. I think I actually had a dream about calling in sick. Aaah, I don't want to go back to real life. I liked vacation life.

Man, today just kept getting worse and worse, but it ended up alright in the end. I started the morning off by dropping my cell phone and having the back fly off, the battery go skidding across the room, and taking way too long to figure out how to get it all back together. Thankfully it's all still functional. Mid-morning at work I was mixing up some pre-anesthetic IV injections with a big honkin' needle and syringe. This is a normal thing for me to do, but clumsy f'ing me jabs the 20 gauge needle into the palm of my hand instead. Now it hurts to extend my thumb, but otherwise there's just a small scab where it inserted into my flesh. Then, early afternoon I decided to check my bank account balance quickly online to see if I could pay the DJ cash or not. Well, as it turns out, it was in the negative. NEGATIVE. I have NEVER bounced a check--never come close! And now my account is in the negative. As it turns out there was a PayPal transaction that despite being immediately declined by the merchant was transferred anyway, and then had the funds placed into my PayPal account instead of never taking them out of my checking account in the first place. So I deposited some cash tonight that I'm hoping will cover any fees and immediately transferred the damn PayPal funds back into my checking account where they belong. But as it stands now I'm sworn off PayPal. The day ended with taco night (man do I love Fantastic brand taco mix) at my parents', followed with listening to my wonderful aunt and cousin-in-law play viola and violin for us. They'll be playing for our ceremony and they gave me the chills multiple times. I can't wait for the day of. Tags: living, rant

Well, I do believe the bachelorette party was a success. Well, it was a success for me anyway as I had loads of fun with all of the females closest to me. The evening started with dinner at The Melting Pot, which I LOVE, and ate so much I nearly exploded. The server was forgiving of our, well, colorful conversations, and I think all of the personalities managed to blend well. It's really a trip to have worlds collide like that: my mom, my best friend, Art's sister, my cousin, and two more great friends--all of which I normally see separately. Maybe it's strange that I find that so strange, but I thought the same at our shower, and I know I'll think the same at the wedding when just about everyone we know will be in a big room eating, drinking, and dancing. Ah! I got some kick-ass gifts (a Rabbit--which I'm pretty sure will be life changing, Bullet, after-sex towel, and edible undergarments), and Sara put together some wonderful penis paraphernalia for our evening out. I managed to have two whole drinks throughout the night too: a cosmo, and later a Midori sour. Oh, I'm such a lush, ha! The latter part of the evening was spent at the strip club with the guys where, "girls are always welcome free! Don't matter if you're lesbian, swing both ways, whatever. Come in!" The group of guys, excluding Art, began their drinking at the best man's house before even getting in their rented limo where more drinking ensued, continued at the Casino boat, continued more on the ride to the way to meet us, and concluded at the strip club. They can really put away some liquor, that's for sure. Art got a number of lap dances, all courtesy of his buddies, and his cousin bought me one too. She was a nice girl--seemed excited to not have a creepy guy trying to tear her panties off. I'd never been to this strip club before, and while the girls were for the most part very pretty, there was no pole on the center stage! I thought that was awful odd. I got home a little after 2:00, Art a little before 3:00, and we conked out shortly after. Unfortunately the sun rose, the birds sang, and I was out of bed a little after 8:00. I'm totally going to take a nap this afternoon. I guess that's a sign of a good night out :) Tags: wedding
