Happy Birthday SJ!

My celebrity sightings -- when I was working at the mall The Goo Goo Dolls came to play at the civic center, and while I was having lunch in one of the mall restaurants, in walks 2 band members with dates and sit down. I couldn't remember their names so didn't ask for an autograph.

Bif Naked -- I was going to pick up dinner at my favorite restaurant, Bif Naked was there looking over the menu (the venue for her concert was across the street), while I was waiting I suggested a few menu items.

Klea Scott (of Millennium and Robbery Homicide Divison) was a brides maid in my brother's best friend's wedding, I met her there.

And I met Gabrielle Reece a few times because I went to volleyball games while she was in college.

That's about it.

Happy Birthday, sj!

Happy anniversary, Bev and Mr. Bev!

That's all I got. I dreamt that I was up late playing cards and didn't get enough sleep - it seems to have increased my regularly scheduled gronk.

Purrs and b-day happies to sj. Harvey is ON. MY. WRISTS. so I can't type more than that.

Happy Birthday, sj!

Happy Anniversary Bev & DH!

I'm so glad you're feeling better, sj!

I just got back from shopping with Mom. I bought a pair of Dr. Marten's black lace up shoes, that were on sale at about half off. They were so comfy, I couldn't resist them. Then the used bookstore that I love was not only open (they're usually closed on Monday's), but everything was on sale half off. So, I bought a Laurel K Hamilton (the first Anita Blake) out of curiosity because I have never read her before, William Gibson's All Tomorrow's Parties , and a very thick biography of Jane Austen. Dave went with Stepdad to the beach and relaxed. Now we're all resting from our day before we go out to dinner. It is so hot here today. Dave got a bit of a burn at the beach.

Sounds very nice, sj. We had a lot of people out of work today (hmm, I wonder why?), so a co-worker and I bought fancy-schmancy pizza (soooo good) and fancy schmancy Mediterranean salad for everyone. It was pretty good, in case you couldn't tell.

That sounds like a great day all-around, sj.

My boss ordered in pizza for those of us here at work today, too. Only, not fancy-schmancy pizza. At least it was free. The Dean gave the staff two hours of "drift", i.e. leave to go home at 3 instead of 5. My cow-irker announced she was taking her drift as of 11:30 a.m. Hatessss her!

Happy Birthday, sj!

Happy Anniversary, Bev and DH!

I bought fun, colorful stripey sheets today, and I lurves them. I told the cashier that I couldn't decide on a color, so I bought them all in one sheet. Then I remembered how annoying customers who try to be funny can be... but she indulged me by laughing.

I also had a tasty lunch with my sister and mother. After lunch, while in Linens-n-Things, my mother looked at my sister and said, "Why are you so red... and what are those bumps?" She had broken out in hives from the shrimp she ate at lunch! Apparently this happens to her from time to time. I've never seen anyone break out in hives before - it was really weird. Anyway, we got her some Benadryl, and she was fine. (I shared that mostly for the "I've never seen anyone break out in hives before - weird," part)

Also, waves. I've missed you guys!

Hi Jen! How are you feeling?

My mom breaks out in hives when she eats shellfish, but she found this out before I was born so I never got to watch it in person. Actually she found out the first time when she was on her honeymoon with my father. She never had shellfish before then.

Mmmm new sheets. This should happen more often.

Hi, Laura! How are you? I was talking to my friend Dave the other day (the one you met), and he asked how you all were and said to send greetings to you.

I think this developed late in life for my sister, because I know she's eaten shellfish lots. The human body is a strange and mysterious thing.

ETA: And I'm feeling really well, thanks!
