... wish it was Sunday... but that's not fun day.
Not much to say this morning. School starts next week, move in begins this week, which means that I will actually have to get back into the swing of things here and work. It has been a nice relaxing summer at work and Scott and I did some interesting things. We went camping in August and only had one wedding (unlike the 6 we had last summer) and we bought our first house!
My friend Jerri came over on Friday night. We ended up drinking some at our place and watching VH-1 "I love the 70's" waiting for other friends that never showed up (Pete!), and then went to Lu & Ruby's in Millford (my sister is working there now). I may hook her up with my friend Jared from the M-Den. He is v. nice and v. funny! I think they would get along wonderfully.
Saturday I worked and then we went to Todd & Carrie's for a rainy bar-b-q and bonfire. Sunday I worked all day and then we went to my parents house for dinner and watched Remember the Titians (VG movie!). That is about it. WOO HOO! My life is full of fun and adventure! This week I have homework to do all ready and I need to mail out my thank you notes from our party.
TTYL!

The Duke Chronicles
Day 402 of my captivity. The humans that are holding me hostage have once again shoved me into this plastic container. Chances are they are taking me to the larger cat prison where I think they do scientific testing and torture. I must find a chance to escape. To throw off the humans I will moan and cry to pretend that I am not happy at the current situation. I am possibly entertaining the thought of peeing in the container. Maybe the humans will let me out and I can make my escape? Drats... peeing tactic was unsuccessful. Humans pulled over to try to clean me up, but had no towel - whatever that is - they are now yelling at me that I made my bed and now have to lie in it. Upon arrival to the larger prison I was subjected to some sort of torture called a "dry shower". Apparently it was to help clean up my pee debacle. AHHH SUCCESS! I have ruined the large pink thing on my leg and it will need to come off... what??? wait.... they will be putting me down to do this! DRATS! My plan of having an evil demeanor in order for all humans to leave me alone has failed. Will be unable to escape due to being in....ca... pasated......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz............
Day 403 of my captivity: Wa.... what happened.... last thing I remember was the humans placing me in a large torture container. WAIT! WHAT IS THIS!!!! There is now a large purple thing on my leg. Apparently my plan to sabotage the large pink thing worked, but the humans seem to be able to easily replace it. Drats.... Must work on my new plan of escape while I am laid up with this thing on my leg. Heard something the other day about allergies... must learn what they are and how to use them to my advantage.

Weekend re-cap
Yes yes yes... I know it is Wednesday and almost time for the coming weekend. And I really did do an entry on Tuesday when I came back to work, but program froze and it did not post. So time for the weekend recap!
Friday, August 21, 2004
Took day off of work and spent entire day cleaning and decorating new house for big party on Saturday. My mum came over and did the decorating while I did the cleaning. Time spent cleaning = 15 hours.
Must learn to not obsess so much about cleaning, but seeing as my future mother-in-law was coming over felt need to impress and prove that I can run a proper household and take care of her son.
Saturday, August 22, 2004
Had family over to the house from 1-5 pm. Everyone loved new digs. Brought plenty of food and presents. Had wonderful time. Even little cousins played great with little niece. However... one thing did get broken - the cat. Apparently sometime between 2 and 3:00 our cat suffered a traumatic experience and broke his leg. However did not know that leg was broken until vet visit the next morning.
Family left on time and had 2 hours to relax, clean up and prepare for friends to arrive at 7:00 pm. Friends arrived on time! Had fun trying to figure out new wine opening device - it pumps air into the bottle. Had about 25 friends over to break in the new house and neighbors. All had fun, though we realized that we are a bunch of old farts when everyone had left by 11:30. My 20 year old sister was very disappointed to arrive at 12:00 and see everyone gone but Scott's brother Todd and his wife Carrie. Jeni stayed until 2:30 and helped me clean up a little from the aftermath.

Duke has vet apt at 9:00 am for annual shots. Figured we would have them look at his leg as well. $350 later Duke has been put to sleep, X-rayed, shot, got a manicure, ears cleaned, shaved, drugged, and casted. Don't have to pay for the ear cleaning and nail trim, but thought would add it. Yes.. my cat now has a hot pink cast on his leg, which the vets signed. Remind me to get the X-ray from them so I can frame it and hang it up.
Then I went to work at the M-Den at the 12 Oaks Mall.

Have decided to take day off of work to keep an eye on Duke. He has been hiding under the couch and dragging himself around the house with his two front legs, as he has not yet figured out how to get away from bright pink thing following him. Has eaten and drank water, so I must help him use the potty now. Had to pass on trivia tonight (hear we bet the Nads by 1!) as I am broke because my cat refuses to get a job with medical benefits. We home made leftovers from party for dinner and watched the latest episode of Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis. VG episodes.
**Side note** Do not have Sci-Fi channel on cable system in South Lyon. So must tape all our favorite shows at parents house. Can not get satellite as condo does not face the proper way (SW).
Tuesday, August 25, 2004
Have returned to work. Everyone wants to know how Duke is. Promised funny pictures. Tried to claim Family Sick Time for being out on Monday, but apparently pets do not count. Had to claim a vacation day (fuck). Had pizza rolls for dinner. Had to pass on seeing my fave band (The Killer flamingo) and watched Nip/Tuck.
Wednesday, August 26, 2004
Duke visited us int he bedroom this morning. Drug patch must be wearing off. He is starting to hobble around the house. V. amusing! Have taken lots of pictures to share with future generations. Duke has a vet apt tonight. Hopefully will not have to sell my kidney on E-Bay tomorrow.

Day 1 Afternoon
Ok.... having some technical problems with this blog. But oh well. I will let it think over the weekend and try again on Monday.
I am off of work tomorrow to prepare for our open house party on Saturday. We are having family members over from 1-5 and then friends for a party starting at 7:00. As of today the only family members attending are my grandparents, my parents, and Scott's parents. I am a little disapointed in the other 25 members of our family seeing as I sent out invitations a month ago and now all of a sudden they have other things to do. Also note that only 3 parties RSVP'ed that the would not be attending due to other previous engagements, which still leaves 20 people unaccounted for. A little disapointed in the family support here. I mean how often do your oldest children, the oldest grand children, and oldest niece & nephew of both families buy a house?
Our friends, on the other hand are a different story. There are about 35 confirmed people attending. I also expect a few more that have not RSVP'ed but know about the shin-dig.
So as you can quess I am quite the mess right now. We have spent the last week cleaning and decorating in time for the party. But too many things still have to be done, hence the day off on Friday to clean, finishing decoraitng and for food prep. My mommy is also taking the day off to help. Scott's mom had offered to help, but that made me feel incompetent, so I told her that I didn't need any help. It's ok for my mommy to know that I am not the best housekeeper in the world, but not my future mother-in-law. I will just leave it at that.
It should be a really fun time and I am looking forward to our friends and new neighbors coming over Saturday night. I will, of course, be checking in on Monday morning to tell you all the jucy details!
(Once again would put in some nifty little martini pictures, but can't so just imagine!)

Day 1
Well I have finally done it. Decided to give in and have a blog site like the rest of my friends. They don't call me anymore anyway, I have to go to their blog sites to see what they are up to, and some of them even still don't talk about me!
Anyway... this should be fun. Prob more theraputic for me than anything. Cause I am sooo sure my friends really want to know what goes on inside of my head. It isn't pretty sometimes.
Well this is post number one... I am about to go off to lunch and then I will come back and play. I feel sort like Bridget Jones all of a sudden.... Attached singleton about to embark on new adventure! WOO HOO! I will of course avoid all of my job duties the rest of the day and play with my new site!
(Wishing I could insert a picture of Bridget Jones here, but site doesn't support that... Bugger....)
