all i want for christmas

I want a 42" tall rectangular pub table.

due to the excessive height of our stools
we need a tall table.
it needs to be long and narrow to fit into the area that we need it to fit into.

if anyone has one of these laying around... well you just let me know.
thanks

jobby job job

i guess i have a job. she said she would email me the offer letter anyway. thats fun.
i guess i was nervous during the first interview - she said i didn't really relax till the last ten minutes or so. okay, i guess i did better this time around...

anyway

we ordered from Just Pizza last night. Can I tell you that a Chicken Club Pizza is the most amazing pizza ever? i can't stop eating it. i had some for breakfast. and then i had another slice for lunch. it needs to be gone soon because i can't think of anything other than how damn good that pizza is.

and now we venture off to NOT ELMWOOD PET SUPPLY to purchase some cat food that doesn't list sweet potatos, cranberries and apples in their ingredients. We are horrible parents, but i think science diet is a just fine food for my horribly fat and lazy cats.

(E:James) and (E:Jim) - you must think us heathens to feed our kitties such crappy food (hehe)

later on peeps!

I'm lame and don't know what I want to do for my birthday.
Or where to eat. Maybe I'll just pick up some mighty taco and watch a movie. That sounds like fun.

docu - nerdo

i found a website that is absolutely chock full o documentaries. it makes me as happy as a kitten in a milk puddle. boy that was a silly simile.

i watched a documentary about flouride that was absolutely disturbing. i mean i heard that flouride was apparently not so good, but then i watched the documentary (biased as they tend to be) and found that the flouride that they put in our drinking water is, in effect, industrial waste from the phosphate industry. also learned that europe (smart little europeans) rejected flourine additives to their drinking supply in like 98% of their communities. And somewhere around 65% of american communities have flourine additives. And there are a whole bunch of other disturbing facts. Apparently my Pur water filter on my faucet doesn't filter it either.

Then I watched a documentary on Hitler's search for the Holy Grail. And the Ahnenerbe society that Himmler created to aid in this search. Very fascinating.

On another note... Cultural Friday!
We are going to the Albright Knox tomorrow with (E:chico) and Amy! (amy doesn't have an E name i think)
anyone else up for it?

a gun rack for her daughter in law

my mother just bought lauren a gun rack at an auction.
because she is sooooo funny.

and then suggested that we put it in our stairwell with a note that says that the occupants' gun was too large to fit on the rack.

my mother is insane.

i cook?

I am not a cook. I don't know much about cooking, nor have I ever really had much interest.

that being said, I'm starting to experiment. Zucchini and squash stir fry; with spinache pasta

and salsa chicken... with roasted potatoes and corn on the cob!

yeah who knew i could cook?

lauren and i have also taken to eating our dinners outside on the balcony. Nobody else seems to use their balcony like we do... though the neighbors seem to be venturing out there more and more... are we starting a balcony revolution?

on another note...

any of you mac users know how to export video that has been saved into iphoto? it doesn't seem to have that function available...

apartment paint job

Okay so the painting is all done and I have photos where you can see some of it.... i don't have a super fancy smancy camera that takes wonderful photos but i did what i could...

That's my cat. On my bed. I have a new bed that is being shipped to me sometime at the end of the month, but the point of this photo is that you can see my pumpkin patch/misty evening paint job.

There is my desk by the door. And one of the fully packed bookcases. notice the misty evening as an accent wall.

oh yes and then there is lauren in the kitchen.

oh what a tiny apartment. i love it.

Lucky Dog

This morning my mother informs me that my dog died. I tell myself repeatedly that it is good that he is out of his misery. He was pretty damn old and he was having seizures and lost his eyesight. It was so bad that my mom even wanted to have him put down, but my dad wouldn't let her. He died very soon after the seizures began.

I am just glad that I got to see him again last weekend. He was such an old stinky dog, but he was still my Lucky. (that was his name)

a thought: why is it that most dogs named 'Lucky' are mangy little buggers? mine was.

put together an impromptu barbeque at my bro - bob's house. invited my other brother too. it was nice to sit and relax in the cool day of today.

and returned with yellow squash, green peppers and a green tomato. oh and a couple of cucumbers. I already have a zucchini from the last visit - so now i have to figure out how to prepare it in a way that lauren actually eat it.

look at me... i'm an exciting party animal! it is saturday night!

i'm going to bed.

lucky was, indeed, the perfect name for that dog. he had severe asthma, he had a knack for barking so loud and much that he pulled muscles in his back and couldn't use his back legs for a week, he became incontinant, blind in one eye (then in the other)and was missing teeth (which added to the sewer mouth). but he was a good boy.

jenks writes at 10:00:37 08/05/07 - Comment #21704: aww... So sorry about your dog.
My alice just died in march- and I haven't even been home since then, so I don't think it's really hit me.
It's tough. :(

tinypliny writes at 09:03:17 08/05/07 - Comment #21702: Lucky is definitely in a better place. Its not fun to have a double whammy of seizures and blindness. :/

You could make a zucchini stir-fry with carrots, broccoli, portabella mushrooms, water chestnuts and tofu. Yum!

drew writes at 07:56:00 08/05/07 - Comment #21700: sorry about your Dog. If you need your "old dog fix," you can come and visit our 12 year old lab.

ladycroft writes at 01:52:15 08/05/07 - Comment #21699: isn't that how it usually works? "Lost: dog with three legs, one eye, missing most of his fur, goes by the name Lucky". :) I'm sorry he had to leave you but I'm happy he's no longer hurting.

mk writes at 12:56:50 08/05/07 - Comment #21698: oh and she is definitely a mangy little bugger, hahaha. she had a litter of puppies when she was 2 and she was never quite the same after. always cranky and paranoid and barking at every unusual noise she heard, everything from a car door closing to a dog barking in a the distance to one of us accidentally closing a drawer too hard.

mk writes at 12:54:45 08/05/07 - Comment #21697: i'm sorry to hear about your dog, but it sounds like he lived a long, happy life!

i have a dog named Lucky too. actually i just posted pictures and she is in a couple of them.

it's interesting to me that of the Luckys that i know or know of, mine is the only girl Lucky. i never thought of it as being a boy name, but apparently we were wrong! considering she's 11, i think it's a little late to go back and change it. :)

hope you're enjoying the b-lo so far!
