a lot has happened since my last spew...

We said goodbye to Craigory on Thursday. I miss him. I was fine until I started hearing the normal shuffle in his office (next to mine and basically separated by paneling) this morning and realized that it wasn't Craig, but Bruce. Craig's been my flatmate for about a year, now, so we always talk a little smack when one or the other gets here in the morning. He's always given everyone a hard time. He's the kind of guy who still (at 50yrs old) shoves you into the wall in the hallway as he passes by and laughs like he's in middle-school; anything to herass. (yes, I misspelled that on purpose.) He can pick out your insecurities (usually ones you didn't even realize you had) and turn them into the biggest stinking joke ever.
And still, we all love him. Why? There are plenty of reasons. He's the Wednesday-morning donut guy! You can't hate a guy like that! Enough about Craig or I'll get sad. -er.

Thursday evening was also the blood drive for Clay Ortega (a boy from our church who has been diagnosed with Burkitt's lymphoma)

I was a little too stressed to give blood. I think I'll give on the 18th when Kendle goes.

Ah, Kendle's truck broke down, also. The breaks seriously had some issues and locked up on him going down the road. It's scary to be driving along and be thrown 45degrees to the left. It's worse when it happens to you and not your wife. No, I'm not upset that he never listened to me, but I'm kind of like, HUH! So you believe me now? heheheee... So, yeah...that's what he did on Friday. He wound up having to replace the entire wheel base. It's crazy, really, but he was able to get some of the parts from a friend who had rolled his truck. I think he'll be finished with it tonight. He needs to fix his cadillac catalytic converter, too.

I had a house full this weekend. Jerry and Emily brought Justin down and stayed Saturday night to go to Pat's b-day party (which didn't really go as I had planned) on Sunday. They went ahead and stayed Sunday night and Jerry and Patrick went fishing yesterday morning.

I'm tired. I stayed up until 1am cleaning house. It's still not all done, but I did a few loads of laundry and cleaned the living/dining rooms and Kendle did dishes. I need to clean my bedroom, wash the stove, and an endless list of other things...

Why is it that you can't even put away one thing without opening a cabinet that just has to be straightened up before you can add anything to it. Blah.

Ooh! I got to talk to Chris and Lenny last night. Yay! It made me happy.




And then it made me sad. =(



My hair is amazing today. Just had to throw that in there. =)
