See, Naomi? If d.s. would stop trying to convince himself that I don’t like him (because I do like him & find him to be quite funny) and invited me to the party too, then we could have driven over there together to see him & Emster. Because I am one to never turn down a road trip … unless it involves a guy who used to live in Beaumont but is now wandering about the country for training … I will NOT roadtrip to see him. Thanks for lunch yesterday – it was wonderful (or wonferdul as I first started to type, oops!) and I have missed seeing you… we have to keep your days as days so I can see you during the day instead of your night being your day and you being awake while I am asleep. (Whee! That sentence was fun!) Sometimes I just need some quality Naomi time – I always feel so much better afterwards.

Thanks to Melissa for reminding me about Landover Baptist: Where The Worthwhile Worship. Unsaved Unwelcome. With a lot of Onion-esque flair. I am laughing so hard I am crying! It was the Catholic Junk for Sale – First Communion Steins that really got me. Oh my. I am surprised God hasn’t hit me with a giant bolt of lightening yet!

If you go to Robyn and Todd’s Wedding Pages Index – does the guy in the background, sitting next to the flowers, remind you of Fonzie? Or is it just me?

What a day. A much needed day. I slept until noon because Jason spent the night at my parent’s house and they worked on his Aztec village today. Once I rolled out of bed I did all sorts of housework things. Oh what fun! Yes, I cleaned counters, I dusted, I threw stuff away. I cleaned out the fish tank in Jason’s room – and found one of our fish! We thought it had died, but it was hiding inside the shipwreck statue! I haven’t seen it in at least 2 weeks. I have no idea how it survived in there! Then I finally ate lunch and went over to my parent’s house to help with the Aztec village. And now I am home again. Watching Law & Order SVU from last night. I Tivo’d 3 episodes of 90210 earlier today, along with the movie “Return to Me”. I think after I watch SVU I will watch “Clerks” and maybe “Office Space”. I am Tivo’ing “Gladiator” right now, but I may stop it and record Saturday Night Live instead.

Speaking of Tivo, I have been complaining because I received an e-mail this spring from them asking me to complete a survey, and as my reward I would receive a Tivo plush toy. I never got the toy … I thought. Then I was cleaning out a box today of things I packed up when I left the FC. There was an unopened envelope in there – it said it was from some sort of lab – I thought it was some vitamin samples I had ordered online. Figured 5 months later, it was about time I opened the package – and there was my Tivo toy! w00t! I was so excited! Now I just want the cool window cling like Kymberlie got. Tivo ROCKS! I love that you can record one show while watching something you recorded previously – how is that for cool?

Oh! I finally got the wireless gateway to go with my wireless card! I am not sure if I am going to set that up tonight or tomorrow. Probably tomorrow, I think I just want to chill for now. FedEx tried to leave it on Thursday, but it was marked “signature required” and the gals at the apartment office were gone. So I called Thursday night & told FedEx they didn’t have to have a signature, so they left it at my door on Friday. Yes, $250 package, just sitting at the door… good thing it was still here when I got home! I can’t wait to set it up! Then I can surf from the laptop anywhere within a 300+ foot radius of the gateway!

I like Chel’s new design at bliss! Pretty, pretty… I am feeling the need to design some if I find time this weekend. We have to create an Aztec village first though for school for Jason. What fun, what fun indeed. I have housework to do too, too much it seems. Although I did get up early this morning & tackle some of it, which was a good feeling. And Jason gets the chore of scrubbing, with a scrub brush on his hands & knees, both bathrooms and the kitchen because he flushed a pencil down the toilet at school yesterday & got busted for it. Then he tried to lie about it and deny that he did it, and then he said that “Adam was going to kill me if I didn’t do it.” I told him that Adam would not have killed him if he didn’t do it, and no matter what Adam threatened, Jason has a mind of his own and it is no one’s fault but his own. I will NOT accept peer pressure as an excuse, and the sooner he accepts that the better! I think he thought he was going to get away with just getting in trouble at school; he was a little surprised last night when I announced that his teacher had called me! Uh oh! Busted!
