My little life

So... you guys should be getting those invites now, and the few people I've talked to since then say that they like them. Good. You're listening to me well. ;-) kidding.

We went to see Walk the Line yesterday afternoon. It was super good. I was impressed by the quality. And it may be like Shaun said, a lot of Johnny Cash's songs were similar with similar bass lines, but I still liked them. And I find it hard to believe that it was actually them singing, even though I know it was. And Reese Witherspoon put in a very credible performance. None of her usual ditzy stuff. Even though there was one expression that I saw in the film that reminded me of Legally Blonde. Four thumbs up, we decided.

Shaun's company holiday party is tonight. I don't really want to go. We're going to be playing blackjack and Texas Hold 'Em, taught by professional dealers. Shaun's parents went to something similar for one of his Dad's parties, and they said that was the most fun that they'd ever had at one of those things. I guess I'm just really self-conscious about it all. I hate screwing up and looking like and idiot. That, and I have NO interest in playing Texas Hold 'Em, and I'm sure that that is what Shaun will want to play. Another stressor is that it said semi-formal on the invite, and it's being held someplace fancy, called the Hotel Sofitel or something like that. But when he talked to the guys that he works with, they said that even the president of the company only wears nice khakis and polo or a sweater or something. So since I was going to wear a skirt, and Shaun his suit, we would have been horribly overdressed. So now I am going to wear a long tunic-shirt and a cami underneath and my pinstripe pants, and Shaun's going to wear something nice, also, but not his suit. So hopefully we'll be right inbetween. We'll see.

But all is right in the world since I am getting snuggles from my kitten.


Nevermind, she just chewed my ear and walked down my back with all of her claws.




Edit: I forgot to mention that we at at Dino's Gyros yesterday in West St. Paul. They were delicious! Their french fries were damn good too, best I've had in ages. They're crispy on the outside and slightly squishy on the inside. And they have veggie food too! :)
