Monday Monday Monday

So tonight was Margarita Monday. Sarah and I met Bryan there about 5. Shortly thereafter Carrie, Jeanine and Will joined us. Just as everyone was getting ready to head out, Colleen came in. I agreed to stay with Colleen when everyone else had to leave to chit chat and whatever. Just as we were getting ready to leave, Jeff, Paige, Sterling, Joe, and Juneko showed up. All and all a successfully long Margarita Monday. Good times.

In other news...I scrubbed the litter boxes, scrubbed the floor under the litter boxes, changed the type of litter, and made sure I put Arm & Hammer stuff in the litter. *Sigh* PP pooped in 3 places in the apartment today. Bitch.

What I learned in jury duty today....

1. Fresno County Superior Court does not have enough chairs in the jury assembly room for everyone.

2. Fresno mean 'ash tree' in Spanish.

3. After orientation they show a movie while you wait.

Not too exciting today. Got to jury duty at 8:30 and got dismissed right before 11. No work today. Chris said it was up to me whether I came in or not. Free day!!!

Still looking...

for an new home for PP. Anyone have any ideas? I posted my second Craigslist ad tonight and emailed 2 no-kill shelters for cats. I asked for assistance from the shelters if they were not accepting new residents. It's time she and I went our separate ways.

I've graduated from twice a week to once a week allergy shots! Yippee!

Weekend update

This weekend Alan came to visit. He didn't arrive until after midnight Friday night, so I was already asleep. On Saturday we got up early because he and I volunteered for the 'Car Fit' program for my work. The idea was to invite seniors in the community to come to get fitted in their cars to help them become safer or stay safer longer on the road. The even was held at my boss's church. However, the church was also having it's annual pet blessing. Our favorite moment of the morning was one of the little old men that came to get his animal blessed ran over one of our orange cones. Instead of driving between them, the ran over one under his front driver's side tire. He had to stop, back up, and drive around it because he hit it dead on and got it wedged under his wheel. Poor guy. Wished he had come to the car fit program. We had OK success. We had 1/2 of our appointments full, so a total of 14 or 15 drivers that day.

After 'Car Fit,' we took a much needed nap, then went over to his mom's house to drop of London presents and check out the new Mac his mom bought. Then off to dinner at I Love Sushi. Mmmmmmmmm it was good. There was 6 of us and we ate a lot of food. Everyone was all about Japanese food Saturday night. After sushi was Trivial Pursuit, wine, and beer at my house. The girl's team (plus 1/2 a game of Bryan) won. It was a fun time. I don't get to hang out with the Fresno crew much since I'm in LA all the time.

Sunday Alan and I decided to take a walk. We got to Shields and Vanness and decided to walk to Fig Garden for lunch and walk back (roughly 8 1/2 miles). We ate lunch at Applebee's before heading back. My back held up pretty good until got home. I'm having some spasms or something in my left back that is causing shooting pain down my left quadricep. I'll get over it, but it's still rather annoying. I have an appointment to have it checked out end of November.

Alan is sleeping now after our long walk. Hopefully we'll make it to the dog park before he leaves today. Good weekend.

Frickin' hilarious

Everyone needs to go read Runyon's blog and read the post about the tornados. (Link is on the right column.) It's awesome.

Shake, shake, shake...shake, shake, shake...shake those trees!

So I'm completely beat. I need to run a million errands and have one done. It's 6:00 and I'm thinking about just going to bed. It's walnut harvesting time and (big surprise) I'm allergic to walnut trees. So as they shake the trees, I'm miserable. My eyes itch, my nose is running, I'm sneezing, and my head hurts. Damn walnuts!

In other news, the Big Fresno Fair starts today. Kenny Rogers is playing tonight. I had an invite for free from Will, but I just can't get off my couch. Damn walnuts!

Let's see...yep that's pretty much it. Was looking to exercise, but I don't have the energy. I really just want to go to sleep. I think tonight I will take a big dose of Benedryll and Sudafed. Yeah drugs! Boo walnuts!

I hate my cat.

Give me one reason I should not kick the cat out of the house tonight...
