Wooo!

Guess what...I get to go home early tonight! Everyone at work gets to work six hours but get paid for eight today! How awesome is that?! It means that I can call Cat and catch up...it means Stephanie is coming over to grill out. It's only fair, I ate at her parents' house last weekend! Also, my friend Kendra might come over to grill out, too. She posted a bulletin on myspace about wanting to do something, but that she had no plans. So...I invited her over and we will see if she wants to. I have the suspicion she's just trying to keep herself busy at this point. He lost her mother to an evasive cancer of some sort, a week or two ago. So...we're hanging out. I just hope that our family setting here doesn't upset her and remind her of her mother too much to stay and try to have some fun.

Currently listening to Eminem's Toy Soldier. Really great song. He's a pretty amazing lyricist, and he is the KING of multisyllabic rhymes. It amazes me. I'm not always in the mood for him but I will never deny his talent!

Zoey says hello! She's beautifully perched in my lap...just sittin there, swinging her tail...tolerating my occassional stroke. I love my Zoey. Oh...now she's sitting in my window, looking all pretty and graceful. Awwwwww.

I'm absolutely thrilled about this next month. I'm going to TWO Brewer's games. One with the family on the 15th and one with Stephanie on the 29th. Also...this weekend is a party for Evan's first birthday which was a couple of days ago...and also a baptism. It looks like the baptism is at the house...so then I'm lead to wonder if their friend, Paul, is doing the service. He's recently become a minister or is still in school for it or something...anyway, this guy is great. He's really awesome, and smart, and he's so proud of his 2 year old son, Elliot..and he's fun to drink with (not that I've done it legally yet...). He and his wife used to live in Minneapolis and when Jill and Rob came up to see me, they stayed at their house and welcomed me into their lives with wide open arms. Paul and Kathy also drove me home for Thanksgiving while I was up at school. I had no way of getting home because Pete and Dorothy weren't going for some reason. Jill told me about Paul and told him I needed a ride home otherwise I'd be stuck in the streets as the close the dorm down for certain holidays...Thanksgiving was one of them.....(that was the biggest run-on sentence ever haha). So...they gave me a ride home because they were heading south and 14 was close enough to my home, and easy enough for them to get to their final destination....Paul drove, Kathy, who was preggers at the time, gave up the front seat and I complained about it the whole way. Why on earth would a pregnant woman give up her shotgun seat, to sit in the back, crammed, and very uncomfortable from the pregnancy....whatever. Goofy people. I'm getting off topic...which is Evan's party thing. On top of seeing Paul, I get to see Pete and Dorothy and the munchkins! OMG...it just hit me that Rick and Kathy are probably going to be there, too. DAMN!

Alright...I have stuff to do, enough of being a bum. Until I have more to write, keep me in your thoughts. Feeling very lonely these days. Much love to everyone.
