This lovely warm springy weather makes me get spring fever! My friend Sonya called me all in a frenzy last night, wanting to get rid of all her furniture and move to a new home! Now that’s some serious spring fever!
Me, I just want to start gardening and have cookouts every weekend! And I have to dig out the screens for the windows so I can open up the house. I think the first thing we’ll have to do is work on the old 50s style windows to get them unstuck and halfway functioning. A few of them are painted shut and many of them won’t close unless you push from the outside, which is a problem on the East side of the house, which is elevated. The to-do list is always long when you’re a homeowner!
Nick is on a nut to get married, so when he was making all these plans to go to Vegas and do the deed, I pointed out that he’d better get Rick and June onboard if he wanted funding. I know my parents and I figured they’d be all for it unless they had to pay for something. Well, lo and behold, Nick called them tonite and they want nothing to do with the big plans to marry in Vegas. I’m not the least bit surprised, but I feel bad for Nick to get shot down like that. My parents are all talk NO ACTION. They’ve always been this way with me. So my Dad is chatting up Nick and telling him how honored he would be to have Nick for a son-in-law, then flatly refusing to go to Vegas to “give me away” – whatever that means. My parents are basically good people, but extremely tactless (in case you wondered where I got that trait). Nick put on a good face and said “I’m not done yet!” and I believe him, but I still feel bad that my parents are such wankers. ::sigh:: The only reason I would get married is because there is real estate involved now. Oh, and let’s not forget my 20% discount on insurance!! Heh, my insurance agent Chuck is more excited about my getting married than I am. But anyway, I love Nick and I’d marry him anytime. He’s a good boy and we’re a good pair. But all the hassle – eh, who needs it?
Bernie ran off Sat night and didn’t return until Monday morning. It freaked us out pretty badly. We went to our friend Beth’s Oscar party on Sunday and got snockered – damn it was a fun party! We got home and Bernie still wasn’t here, so we proceeded to get all teary eyed about it before we passed out. You know how you get drunk and all emotional… The varmint came back Monday morning with some injuries from the Evil Black Kitty, namely a big old bite on her tail that had swelled up so much that she couldn’t even raise it. Poor girl! So, now all the varmints are grounded for a week. I think we’re gonna have to get a privacy fence installed. Old Black Kitty better not show his face around here anytime soon. If either Nick or I get ahold of him, he’s gonna be a dead kitty. Little fucker.
So, the housewarming is still slated for March 27th. Whether we get married on April 1st or not, the party is on the 27th. As for housewarming gifts, Lowe’s cards, Home Depot cards, Target cards, booze for the liquor cabinet or just showing up for the party would be fine! We hope to have a good crowd and please do NOT feel like you have to bring a gift! Just bring yourself and what you want to drink. We’ll take care of the rest!
Ok, I’m off to run some Mac updates on this G3. I have a new G4 on the way to me now, so hopefully I’ll be on that by next week!! Wheeeeeeeee!
