Oh... hello

Hiya- sorry I haven't been very posty lately... So for the moment I'll just start with a bit of a recap o a very busy weekend.

Saturday started with a bbq at mightyafrodite and roomies' home. Was nice to see everyone again. That and I got to steal elspethsheyna and hexslinger's adorable baby girl for a little bit (yes, I did share her with other people... when they made me. ;) ). It was however, very hot and eventually I had to hide in the house for fear of melting into a little pile of headachey Anne. That would be bad, I think. Inside turned out to be a very popular place.

When leaving to head over to the lovely royal_jester's home I noticed that the rear view mirror in the car was at a strange angle- pretty much perpendicular to the angle it should have been. First thought was that it got knocked funny when The Beau and I exited the car earlier that afternoon. However, this notion was quickly dismissed upon entering the car and seeing that no, it wasn't cock-eyed- it had fallen off. To quote Mr. Ron White "It fell off! O-F-F off. It fell the fuck off!" Which I actually found quite funny. It did make driving interesting.

Then the Beau and I spent the evening with royal_jester, losgunna and jiffjenn, the Jester's husband, 8 month old son. As with earlier in the day I ate way too much- but it all tasted so good! We eventually dragged ourselves away at about 10 pm. Got home exhausted- but it was well worth it.


Then the next day we started all over again. My cousin Kelly graduated from high school this year. The girl is amazing... She's very much the athlete- she's going to U of M Dearborn and playing volleyball for them. The U of M coach actually left U of M for a season to coach her in high school- just in case she decided to go to a different college. Oh, and she would have to be pretty too, with long, gorgeous, THICK dark hair...

It was however a scorcher of a day- and while the AC was on in the house there was also a black out about half an hour after the beau and I arrived... so we sat outside under a tent/awning/thingie chatting with a number of relatives. The wedding was talked about... and through that discussion I started to, again, think that maybe having a few more people at the wedding would be nice... so the Beau and I are back in talks.

Had an interview today for a very neat non-profit. The salary is in line with a non-profit- but there are these lovlies called 'benefits' that help outweigh the salary amount. I'm really hoping that something comes up soon! One of the reasons I haven't been around here much is because I haven't been working for the past two full weeks- and that's got me very stressed and this tends to lead to me becoming very self-contained and not wanting to say anything to anyone... This isn't always a good thing.

However, this time off has led to a few things- first off I ended up having to go to the dentist a bit ago due to an infection. Well, I've since gone back and got my teeths all cleaned and x-rayed. Turns out I have a couple cavities that need tending to. This will be happening this week and next week. Then, to add to that particular expense- the Beau's car blew it's water pump. So for the end of last week he was taking my car to work and I was driving his- since the only place I had to go to was the dentist's office and that was all of half a mile away. I was nice and dropped it off at the shop for him- which was close enough for me to walk home from after leaving the car. So all fixed now- is good. The timing worked out okay because had I been working we couldn't have made things work with just the one car (especially since his hours are weird due to his boss being out of town and having to work overtime to cover some of that 'boss gone' time).

So... just a bit of a stress case over here... But really... it'll all be fine- right? I can keep it together if I know it's all going to be fine.
