I would like to point out that I am probably the only girl in the world to get married with Lion slipper socks (that actually roar) in my trousseau. That's just cool.
So now you'll know how long it takes me to get them addressed and sent out. I still have to get the maps and directions to the church printed out... should get that done tomorrow, and we hsould be ready to rock and roll. Or something.
I had to fight with the post office today... see, I wanted 100 of the .60 stamps with flowers on them, and 100 of the .37 candy heart stamps... so I went to the Mastin Lake post office. And they looked at me like I was crazy. The only stamps, I'm told, that they have 100 of, are flag stamps. They actually didn't have *any* of either of the stamps I was looking for, and offered to seel me 20 Dr. Suess stamps instead. When asked where to go to find said stamps, the lady said (and I'm not joking)... "Well, you could try the Wynn Drive post office... it's a Fah-la-del-ic center. Or the post office sells stamps on it's website, but I don't rememebr the web address. I think there's a 1-800 number, but I don't know what it is, either."
So I left, trying to figure out what the crap Fahladelic was... a few minutes later, it hit me. Philatelic (Fil-a-te-lic). Like, stamp collecting. And all this time, I had being trying to relate it to something Freudian.
The Wynn drive post office, by the way, had everything I needed. And the USPS website, should you ever wonder (don't ask the Post Office people, they don't know)... is http://www.usps.com.
Why is it, in a house full of Atkin's dieters, I can't find any protien type foods worth eating? I wonder what my family does eat... as the only things I've found to eat today are Froot Loops, oatmeal, and pasta. None of which they can eat... hm.
So. Yeah. I'm fixin' to finish my patsa... enjoy a glass of high class wine... or, well, malt likka, anyway, and head to bed... not sure if one glass of Boones will be enough to make me sleep... but the thought of getting drunk in order to get a "good night's sleep" isn't terribly appealing. Eh. Maybe it will help some, anyway. Or something.
Long weekend. Got stuff done. But now I'm tired. *sigh*
The wedding was nice... nice drive up there, nice to see friends again, nice to see Sam and Loraine married... nice to be back home :-)
So for the next couple of days, I'm gonna sit back and relax... and play with my cool B-5 action figures (a graduation present from David and Nicole) :-)
Yeah. Might post more later. Need to go to bed now. *sigh* I need sleep. Sleep is evading me again...
you know... there are really very few things as satisfying as sitting and coding something just for fun (not for a grade)... with no deadlines... while blaring Alanis Morissette (Jagged Little Pill, what else?) through my sightly less than optimum laptop speakers... with the freedom to sing at the top of my lungs... and eating Froot Loops. Straight out of the box. Geek girl nirvana. *sigh* The only thing I need now is... ummm.... Dilbert pajamas?
put up a splash page to hold until I get the real thing up and going... links to my blog right now, but I should put some more stuff up in the not too distant future. For now, it works.
I hate the new blogger. But I don't feel like ranting about it. Actually. I ranted about it for a minute to David, who has similar feelings on the issue. Feeling much affirmed, I have lost the need to rant at length.
In other news. The last week of school was good... I finished up finals (yay!) and passed everything (double yay! They'll actually send me my diploma!). Hillary came into town for graduation, and we got to catch up on old times... interesting to see how two people can chage so much, and yet not really have changed at all. Went to a party that reminded me why I don't go to parties like that (everyone was way too drunk, and girls in next to mothing were playing water Twister... oh yeah. My idea of way too much fun). Parents came in for graduation too....
So I'm graduated. and stuff. Getting geared up for the wedding. And school in the fall. Cleaning the house. And eating and stuff. And playing some Kingdom Hearts (I just want to do like, a couple more cool things before I beat it).
So. I'f you're in Huntsville, look me up. Socialization is good.
One more thing. A catchy song. *does a litte dance* Where can you see lions... *stop dancing* Ok... enough of that.
Somehow, the fact that this is the last set of undergrad finals I'm ever going to have to take isn't so encouraging...
Pray for Nick (or light a candle, or keep him in your thoughts, or send him positive energy, or whatever it is that you people do)... there's never a good time for a sudden death in the family... but two days before finals start has to be one of the worst.
This is my brain..... in part, at least.
