I had dinner with Kat last night, and after admitting to not checking/posting to my blog in a week or so I was reprimanded by Kat on behalf of Jenny and Susan.
I'm pleased that you ladies think my life interesting enough to check up on
every day. I shall try to recap the week:
1)No, I haven't started plans for the wedding other than to pick the date and to reserve the church.
2) I embrassed myself in church (again) by not knowing the proper response when a neighbor said "Christ is in our midst" during the liturgy. She probably thinks I'm an idiot. I'll sit in another pew this Sunday.
3) Got the ring fixed. Had to take it back to the jeweler to get the stone tightened. Now the only probalem is I keep forgetting to put the ring back on when I get out of the shower.
4) Got the oil changed in my car (finally). Not the Anti-lock brake and emergency brake beep and light up sporadically when I drive. Greeeeeeat. I think I'll swing by Jiffy Lube on my way home today and make sure that the grease monkeys actually filled my brake fluid.
5) Saw Shreck 2 and Harry Potter. Loved them both. Can't wait for Stepford Wives this Friday.
6) My teaching sabbatical nears, which excites me. Lindsey pushed it back two weeks, which was kind of a pisser, but the end of the month can't come fast enough.
7) Speaking of pissers, my Palm still won't talk to my computer.
8) I don't understand the hullaballo about Regan's death. Yes, it's sad that an important president died, but I don't think his presidency merits the canonization that the press is portraying. I think that Republican nostalgia has swept the media and lesser-read people are taken in by the hooplah.
9) Found a Cranium game called Zigity in Starbucks.
10) I got a manicure, Pedicure and Eyebrow-Waxing yesterday. Other than the small wax burn above my right eye, I look socially acceptable again. I still haven't found a good hairstylist since my lady moved to Japan a few months ago. Anyone know a good colorist in Vegas who can touch up my...ahem...naturally blonde hair?
That does it for now. I'll try to be a little better about posting.
Way to catch up! I have to agree about Reagan. I like my colorist but she's in Henderson. Definitely follow up on the car. Just mumble in church and it will be fine. When our Palms stop synching it is usually the cradles fault. If you know James, ask him cuz he always fixes ours.

Posted by: Jen at June 9, 2004 7:38 PMIt is Maggie at Euphoria Day Spa on Sunset 898-4247. I never remember to put down her extension so just ask from Maggie.

b.) We don't do liturgy at my church, so it always throws me off when I visit another church like that (or go to a more formal service). I'm always saying the wrong thing or being a delayed echo. I'm sure that the people around you in the pews you were sitting in really don't care that much, and I'm sure they wouldn't mind it if you sat next to them again in the future.
c.) How long will your sabbatical be for?
d.) I think I've seen that game (Ziggity)--it's the one with see-through cards, right? My brother bought a Starbucks/Cranium game called Kuduuk or something like that. It was ok to play, but we all agreed to play one round before playing a game of Canasta, so no one wanted to play Kuduuk except for Joey (my brother) because we were all looking forward to Canasta.
e.) I desperately need to go in to have a manicure & pedicure done, but have not had the time when I've had the money and vice versa. :( Hopefully next week.
Posted by: JennySmith at June 11, 2004 9:27 AMJenny- My sabbatical will be fore a month or so. I can't wait. Don't get me wrong, I love my students, but man! I need a vacation.
Yes, Zigity has clear cards.
Believe me, I looked like a doofus in church. Your neighbor says "Christ is in our midst" and you're supposed to respond "he is and ever shall be" Unfortunately, I blanked, and responded with a rather unpious "yup."
