love rufus wainwright

made dinner, emptied out ALL 5 litter boxes, bleached linoleum, sprayed boxes with pam to make cleaning easier (awesome tip!! every time you clean out your boxes completely, which should be every month, and is definitely NOT for us, you spray pam and wait a few minutes before you add your new clean litter. omg awesome), put in new litter (which got IMMEDIATE use and approval by Hugh), swept kitchen. started new load of laundry (going to put it in the washer in a minute). finished xmas cards last night. just have to do synagogue card, including $$ from sandwich fair, photo of the shawl, and letter that i wrote.

all that, AND i left work at 425, and did not get home until 505. yeah. usually it is 22 minutes home, this time was 40. OH THAT MAKES ME MAD.
yes i need new snow tires, but yeah. i hate having to stay at work bc stupid people MUST buy the new sarah palin book and a fucking rubix cube.
ugh

okay, laundry (dont need to do the dishes because they are already DONE!!!), and i need to finish picking up living room and dining room because POT LUCK ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT!!!

kayden is at the window watching for vagrants to walk by so he can bark at them.

so, how are you?

within a year

Sun, 13 Dec 2009 03:15:31 GMT

i did a post http://gracefulshrimp.livejournal.com/635886.html and it said that within a year i had to make something for 5 people and mail it to them.

well! i am almost ready!!
they should go out this week :)
im pretty excited. and i did fib a little since Justin actually made it, and i did make the same thing. but im okay with that :)

also, i apparently need new tires, and ill get those on monday. and then i have tuesday and wed off. wednesday is the farrier! starlit gets winter shoes! (though just fronts bc its hella expensive) and then Wednesday night is the potluck!

wrote out all of my xmas and hanukkah cards but one tonight. that one involves a letter, money and photos though. so it might wait until wednesday.
but yeah! yahoo!!

EVEN STAMPED
yeah, i know.

wow

star trek

Thu, 10 Dec 2009 03:40:33 GMT

was very very good

but surprisingly sad.
the whole premise of the movie is based on death, and wraps around it forwards and backwards

it was still an excellent flick though!
highly recommended :)

2nd interview

Wed, 09 Dec 2009 14:32:39 GMT

just had my second interview with Northway bank!

i hope it went well. she said that they are deciding by the end of the week maybe middle of next.
id so love to hear friday morning so i could put in to bev this week.
bc i have to do it by the middle of the month. so pretty much by Friday.

tension tension!

eek.

um yeah, also, SNOW!
i didnt go to the barn this morning, but JJ also hasnt called me... a little weird....
we have A LOT of snow!

there is a Tom on our street, plus a little kitten. i dont know ify ou remember that there was that REALLY friendly kitten and i put a collar on it, and it said, call me if this is your cat. but no one ever did, and the collar came off and we didndt see the cat for a while.
well we saw him this last week and then again yesterday.
so i put out a container of food, and i dont know if he ate any.
i know the tom did and THE NEIGHBORS indoor/outdoor cat. SO annoying.
grr

it is seriously, THE NICEST kitten! it rolls all over the ground while you pet it, and kayden is a bit of a dick with chasing him, but still.
and i dont knw if its a boy or a girl, but i think boy (which probably means girl hehe).

im thinking of finding a shelter situation for it, and providing food over the winter, BUT i dont want to feed freaking neighbors cats, thats ridiuclous....

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 01:36:56 GMT

Blueberry torte is cooking!
have photos that I want developed ON the USB key, but walfarts photo center was closed so couldnt do that. gr

started xmas wish list.
cleaned up the guest room. LOOKS AWESOME.
downstairs is staying neat. kept up on dishes. keeping up on laundry

i think im doing... well.

that is of course if you discount the crying so hard i felt like i was going to throw up last night

or the frustration of trying to get my mother to talk to me since she is mad at me for something

so yeah, yahoo!
now im using excel to make an address book!

ugh!

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 21:53:28 GMT

got my dads little vaccuum to clean out the car before our trip for Thanksgiving.

kayden seems to have a little ear infection, or something. he keeps shaking it. im going to clean it out tomorrow and we will see what happens.

dunno what we are doing with the pups for Thanksgiving.... hmm

apparently my mom is BEYOND psycho and even though i didnt know we were fighting... we are?
i guess she thought jus and i got engaged and didnt tell her, but we aren't yet... so I do not understand the problem. UGH

went home early. very glad i did. but also glad i didnt leave like 15 minutes earlier than i was thinking because JILL CAME IN! miss her so much.

what else....
having some major... clutter issues. gunna go keep working on that :)

love to all.

follow the link back to flickr to see more pictures. the other costumes were great, and i was so happy and proud on how good mine turned out!

Starlit was SUCH a good girl for the show :)

Sat, 24 Oct 2009 15:21:44 GMT

did 2 loads of dishes, swept the kitchen. made breakfast, picked up, but did not do dishes bc justin will be.
put washer in dryer, put away all clean clothes. bringing new load down to be washed, and that will make us UTD on laundry!
did litter.

we HAVE to go to the dump this week, and then i will be feeling REALLY good about myself!

last night i worked on my costume. finished the "blanket" portion and the chest plate portion. have to cut up the human part a little more and then it will just be finishing touches on sunday morning!

the only thing i havent done is prep stewart for the agility and obedience classes... i might scratch that... dunno.

today is a local author day book signing, and i have leftover Chicken Broccoli Alfredo that justin made last night for dinner!

i think its a good weekend so far!
how are you?

Happy Halloween!

AWESOME lesson on starlit tonight!

it was a beautiful day, and i dropped off "the ring" to be resized and it will come back in about a week and then Justin will have to get to work on proposing to me :)

though, he doesnt have to work terribly hard, he knows the answer is yes, but id like SOME creativity!
any ideas?
