New Shoes

Today Andrew and I got new shoes. They are fun. And I don't know why some of my toenails are black in this picture -- I can assure you they are most definitely Tequila Sunrise.

Also, Kris Allen (the new American Idol) came into Yia-Yia's while Andrew was at work. People were going CRAZY. Just saying.

Some pretty good things that happened today:
Got a new shirt
Wrapped Andrew's birthday presents
Had 2 Sonic drinks
Helped hang more drywall

Busy Saturday!

We woke up early this morning and got right to work on hanging drywall at the rents'. And no joke, we worked pretty much nonstop until about 8p. We got quite a lot done. We are sore and tired but also feeling pretty accomplished right now.

Now we're just hanging out and relaxing. Andrew is spending the rest of his evening playing video games and I am painting my toenails and watching Gilmore Girls. And I am wishing I had some cake to snack on.

Order of the 4 Night

Today Andrew came home early from work and when he was feeling a little better, we had Larry's Pizza for dinner. Then Kat came over and we had an internet date with Kristin and Lauren since Kristin is in Seoul visiting Lauren.

Then the 4 of us (Kat, Gary, Andrew, & I) played Taboo and Kat and I won.

Also, we booked our hotel in Dublin this afternoon. Check it out:

We are out of energy

We are so tired today. I have felt like I am dragging this entire day. And then we went over to my parents' house after work to help with hanging drywall but my parents were both so tired too. So we just ate some dinner, played with the cats, had some ice cream, and went home. It is nice to take a break. I don't think any of us would be of much use anyway.

Village Idiot Day

Today was a funny day at work. My boss's car ran out of gas and we tried to push it back and then let it roll forward in neutral to get it started again -- that didn't work. So we went to the gas station next door and got a gallon of gas -- and neither of us could figure out how to open the gas can much less get it in the car. Finally some random guy showed up and helped us. It was hilarious. I'm pretty sure neither one of us stopped laughing the entire time.

The day only got more idiotic as it went on. I dropped half my food at dinner. And then -- oh, and then -- I knocked over my Route 44 Diet Coke and it fell to the floor and busted open. Before I even got to take a sip of it. Tragic, I know.

Then we helped put up more drywall and are finally home to shower and collapse into bed completely exhausted. Well, all except for Tillie -- she has more energy than both of us combined.

Finally a Tuesday that was fun!

My nephew arrived at our apartment this morning @ 6:45a to spend the morning with Andrew. I thought having to get up just those few minutes early would send my day spiraling off into the danger zone. But I was wrong. I actually ended up having one of the most pleasant Tuesday I can remember.

I got to work at a fairly decent hour and got to catch up with my boss which was nice. Then I had lunch with Kat at Zsa Zsa's and we walked over to Cupcakes on Kavenaugh and had some cupcakes after. It was fun and good to catch up with a good friend that I don't see nearly enough. Then I headed home to Andrew (who took a 4 hour nap this afternoon). We got dinner @ McAlister's with Kat and Gary. Then we went to the rents' and helped with drywall again. We are slowly making progress. And despite my dad being in a grumpy mood, it wasn't half bad. After that we met Kat and Gary at Barnes and Noble and hung out some more. It was fun and good to hang out with them again. I forget how much I miss them and they live literally 2 minutes down the road. I don't know why we don't see more of each other.

Now Andrew and I are home. He is snacking on chips and salsa and we are doing some cleaning because tomorrow is pesticide day here in 403.

Memorial Day!

So, Happy Memorial Day everyone.
Here are some of the highlights of our holiday:
I threw up and felt sick all day (good thing I was off work today)
Andrew worked -- big surprise
Tillie was attacked by my sister's fatty dog and now has a battle scar on her head
We had dinner with the rents and helped with the drywall again
Andrew had his late night hunger pains filled by Taco Bell and the new Fruitista Freeze.
