Bizzy Buzzy Boo: Five Updates for You
I am apoplectically apologetic about my lack of updates, but assure you that life has been continuing on in grand fashion during this beauteous Colorado September. In short:
1. In an effort to, "you know, do more couply things" Matt and I visited the charming Wild Animal Sanctuary on Saturday. There were, literally, lions and tigers and bears...all of which were awesomely cute and all of which I wanted to have serious lay-down spoonsie hugs with. But, as requested, I resisted. In celebration of animals and animal meat both, we then chewed on cheeseburgers and fries at some sort of Johnny Reb cafe. I say that because there was a Johnny Reb illustration being soaped onto the window as we ate. In an effort to fit in, I had a regular coke.
2. In an effort to, "you know, intellectually challenge myself," I UGH started UGH writing again today. I only made it about 40 minutes but hope to up the ante to 45 by next year sometime. Anyway, it's a new program to shake these workaday doldrums and get the ole matter churning again. Which is kind of exciting. So, I'll keep you posted.
3. I am very close (two weeks more, maybe) to being done with the backyard demo project, and have completed a few more 'round the casa in the meantime (essentially, framing and hanging up pictures, reinstalling my fire alarms, throwing crazzzunkity crizzap out and repotting plants). Matt spent this last week enclosing his back porch, which now is the perfect go-between for my "I'm unhappy in but I'm unhappy out but I'm unhappy in" dog. As a couple, we like nothing more than to make improvements to our respective homes.
4. My car is *justabout* to reach the end of its 50,000 mile warranty, so I made an emergency appointment to bring it to the dealership way south of town at 7 A.M. tomorrow to have its vibration issue checked out before we road it down to Santa Fe on Thursday. The guy tried to convince me that it was probably a tire problem and thus would be covered past the warranty so I really didn't have to worry about it...lalalala...but armed with info from Matt, I countered, "But what about my CV joints?" and he folded like a little girl and got me an appointment. Thinking back on how annoying that conversation was, and - in fact - every single encounter I've had regarding my car for the past two years, I really must say a million times and in a million ways: I FUCKING HATE DEALERSHIPS. Next time out, I'm buying a Segway.
5. Right, assuming all goes decently with the car, we are off to Santa Fe on Thursday for some margaritas and hanging out time in celebration of our one year anniversary. Which is the longest I've dated someone since 2004. Halleluuuughs! I'm not the worst person on earth. This also is exciting as I really like Matt, I really like anniversaries (just ask Jenny), I really like Santa Fe and I really like tequila. I also am completely sexy and alluring when I drink it, so Matt's a lucky, lucky guy.
