my other weekend

basically anyone who laughs at my jokes is my friend.

when i was in casper for new year's with bunny i met a kid.  and he laughed at my jokes.  so we were friends.

we've hung out a few times since then, and here is my other weekend:  i got a tour of casper (ish).  woo.  i know, not a fan either, but it was pretty fun regardless.

coed firefighting.  very important.  i think this shirt survived

from the 80's or something.  90's at the very latest...

i think this was the designated makeoutlookout.  don't worry.  i just took photos.

what happened was this

this is what happened to me the other day. 
i think i was cooking, or maybe just making tea.  but something happened where i had to pour hot water in the sink. 
as i was pouring, i heard this weird pop, but i didn't think anything of it, because sometimes i hear strange noises from my neighbors.  actually i think one of my neighbors - the creepy one who never says hi, and will never even look at me when i pass him in the hallway - is a chronic furniture mover.  at least twice a week i hear furniture being dragged across the floor.  and that's a good week.
but back to the story...this one's much better.  ok, maybe it's not.
because what happened was this:

my bottom of my glass popped out!  and i was really sad because there were only two of their kind left!  now we are down to one! 

no more monkeys jumpin on the bed!!!!

feel the burn...

...of onion vapors in your EYEBALLS!!!!!  OOOUUUUUUUCCCCCHHHHIIEEE!!!!!

but i guess it's worth it when you are a Major Success!
today - or tonight, should i say - it's 1030... anyways.  tonight i made soup!  from this little girlie's bloggie!  and it was Amazing!  first time around, no less!  and now it's going to feed me for the next 3 1/2 weeks!!
actually.  now that i think about it.  today was really just kind of a success.  i kinda love those days:
first:  made it to my 8 oclocker on time
then:  gymmmmm!!!!!! (i keep saying that i'm going to go because i have a 2 hour break, but i always end up coming home and going back to bed...and no, that's not laziness...) even ran over 2 miles!!
then: class
then:  homework/study/etc
then:  good phone call(s)
then:  FOOOOODDDD!!! 
((also, please excuse the fact that it looks uncooked.  i believe that is the pink tablecloth doing some serious damage to the appeal of my creation!!!!))

ok, ok.  it's really not that much.  but it's enough. i mean, i could always use a, oh about 49 degree increase in temperature (inside and out - i have to dress for winter in my lil flat), but other than that....'sgood!

ATTENTION: All Gift Givers!!!

THIS IS WHAT I WAAAAANNNNNTTTTT!!!!

Mine are dying their 17th death, and, I believe, this will be their very last.  They might not make it through the winter.  And you know what that means for me...

Cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet... 

(any takers?  if so, I'm a size 8, and this is where you want to go!!!!  Valentine's is coming up, you know..!!!)

I love birthdays...

...and so do my favorite little guys!
Since my birthday is at the weekend, I had a little dinner tonight and had KatieBug over, as well as Paul and Catharine and their kiddies, Eli and Cavan.  We made pizza and ran around like crazies all afternoon!  And then went on a balloon popping frenzy!  Very much fun, I'm going to miss them when I leave, and also when they leave to Washington...Boo.  : (

Also.  Guess what I got.  For my birthday, but also for Christmas?

THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!

My other very very favorite Christmas/Birthday gift!

I'm so excited!!!  I was resigned to my fate:  to be coffeetable-less for at Least another year.  I'm happy to announce that that is not, in fact, how things turned out!!!
