Work work work

Been a few days. Hope everyone had a good Easter. We got ourselves a new cat that day. Well, she's not really new. She actually older than our 2 present ones but she's new to our house. Laura's dad isn't really home very often (because of the new job and new ladyfriend) so Simba (the aforementioned cat) hasn't been acting very nicely. So Laura decided to bring her here so she could maybe be happier. So far she (the cat) loves being around Laura and is very friendly with me as well. Unfortunately she has to constantly hiss at our other 2 cats who are curious about the new visitor. I am sure it will pass but it's not fun to be in the middle of catfights. We also took her to the vet today since her shots are way overdue and we bring in the other 2 next week. Can't wait for that. Been working a lot which blows of course since I wish I could be doing more at home especially since the shower is this weekend. My cousin and his family are coming so that is cool but we need to fix up the place to suit guests. Much to do. Anyway, I need sleep but I'll have to write more later.

My full day

Well, I just got home about an hour ago and thought I'd write down how my day went in Portland. We left the house around 2 and grabbed some Wendy's to tide us over before our Indian dinner. Then we drove to Portland where we spent way too long looking for a parking spot. Man, was it busy. We had to walk a ways before we actually entered. Laura looked in the motherhood store while I was in Best Buy. I got the new Ozzy box set Prnice of Darkness which cost just $30 on sale: 4 cd's and a dvd; not too shabby. I also went to Spencer's and found myself a Robocop figure from the Movie Maniacs line which was pretty sweet. Just $10. We met up at Godiva and bought some chocolates for her family since we're gonna see them at Easter for lunch. We bought a few truffles for ourselves of course. Then we we to Babies R Us and checked out cribs. We also got some sneakers for me and some little light-up Spider-Man shoes for our unborn son. They rule! I can't wait for him to be old enough to wear those. After that we ate at the Indian restaurant called Tandoor. I enjoyed it but would have liked a little more spiciness. Then it was off to see George Carlin. I had never been to the Merrill Auditorium before and even though I liked the theater it was uncomfortable as hell. It was like sitting in coach on a plane. The opening act was ok. I don't remember his name but he was a local act. Carlin didn't actually get onto the stage until 9:00 and only did his act until 10:15. Kind of short but it was too funny. Laura barely made it through; she was so damn tired. She's a trooper though and I know she did it just for me. I love her for how selfless she can be. One thing that was a little odd was that Carlin had to read a little from sheets of paper he had for his act. He prefaced his performance by saying that his stint in rehab was the longest he had ever not done his act so he needed the paper to remember his bits. I still enjoyed myself and think he's still funny even after like 30 years. Anyway, I need to get to bed but I just had to write about the full day. Happy Easter everyone!

Floor people

Well, I have decided to write in this blog and I am not sure why. It's sort of like an online diary yet aren't those supposed to be kept private? Weird. Anyway, the floor people are here and it's a big headache considering I can't do some things I wanted to do today on my day off. Laura and I are going to see George Carlin tonight and I hope that will help to relax us both because the drama really sucks. We plan on eating Indian food which I am really looking forward to. We also need to get to Target and would like to go to Best Buy to check out the new Ozzy box set called Prnice of Darkness. (It's got him doing Born to be Wild with Miss Piggy!) Our cats are hiding in the bedroom since there are people here hammering away and using power tools. Laura is out getting quarterboard (?) whatever that is and hopefully she won't be upset when she gets back. I am really looking forward to being with her all day and seeing George Carlin. More on him when we get back. Adios.
