party harty big and farty!

man, why’s it gotta be so nice outside? mocking me, making me not wanna work on the website and go to the dog beach with jimmy… it’s warm and everything! i would even wear shorts! probably. maybe. okay at least i would take my shoes off, it’s warm enough for that…

i’m thinkin this whole site, including putting crap in the store once it’s laid out all fancy, we’ll be ready for a grand opening party beginning of april – meaning you better start saving up, there’s gonna be tons of awesome things to buy! and if you get on the mailing list before then, you’ll find out about a super-secret giveaway just for the mailing list! oooo, so exclusive!

friday night josh and i went out with michelle to sorta celebrate a milestone for her – and we left with me looking forward to a lighthearted easy fun night. we get to the reno room by michelle’s place and can’t find parking ANYWHERE. it’s only 8 at night people, why isn’t there parking anywhere! so we got something about 3 blocks away… went to the reno room and sat there for a good 20 minutes waiting for the waitress to come over and get our drink order, food order, whatever, please just please acknowledge we’re here!!! so we left after she blatantly looked at us and kept walking.

then we all drove over to the pike, and there was NO PARKING THERE EITHER. so we drove home and walked the 4 blocks there. it was really busy there, too, but the great thing about the pike is they’re always friendly, they’re always fast, and the food is always mmmmMMM good.

oh and i forgot to tell you when we went home to park there was a huge uhaul parked in our driveway from people moving in, and it was darn near impossible to finagle our way into the garage. when i took michelle home, there was a BOAT of a car next to me making it a 2 person operation just to get out of my space.

moral of the story is i am never ever going anywhere ever again!

also, i have this problem every time i have to buy jeans – it becomes a weeks long ordeal because it’s been so long since the last time i bought jeans those kind that fit wonderfully aren’t in stores anymore… i am pleased as punch to tell you that after about 3-4 weeks of trying on about 20 different pairs of jeans at different stores i finally got some. THANK GOD. because all my pants are older than dirt and are about to fall apart at the seams.

all things you really needed to know about, right? i’m stalling. i don’t wanna work on this site anymore!!!

before i go, josh and i finally saw ‘best in show’ last night and it was AWESOME. we’re makin it a point to rent a mighty wind and for your consideration very very soon, because stone cold says so!

annnnnd i heard today that one of my old math teachers, mr. dawdy, from high school is retiring – there’s kind of a big part of me that wants to go the retirement party in june. the same big part of me that made me crash my 10 yr reunion, you know? just curiousity over who will be there… i’m thinking for a math teacher’s retirement party it’ll be more normal people and less snobby types, yes? plus, he was one of the teachers that i really liked. and maybe he knows whatever happened to others i liked, like mr. vena or mrs. harding. the last i heard about harding was she wrote a happy letter to the local paper about how much she enjoyed her best buy geek squad experience. good times, good times.

anyways, sign up for my hearts and laserbeams mailing list if you haven’t already, you won’t regret it!
