Why I haven't posted

I was asked today why I haven't posted. I guess it's because I don't feel like I have had a whole lot to say. Most of it is just negative feelings that I don't want to think about more than I really have to. But I'll try to give you guys something decent to read, anyway.

Last weekend Shaun went home to Plymouth to see the Violent Femmes play for free at Bratfest, and also to pick up our camping gear. He had a good time he assured me.

I went home to hang out with my mom and dad, and I brought the little ladies with me. They were their usual cute and charming selves. Saturday was Alissa's bridal shower. There was really good food, and I even won a prize. There was so much noise going on that I could hardly hear myself think so I could hardly hear when Lisa was saying stuff, so she probably thought that I was overzealous (read: obnoxious) butI guess that there wasn't really much I could do about it. I spent a lot of thinking of what to get Alissa and Tony (not just the plain ol boring stuff off of your registry, even though that stuff is fun to get, too!) but something that showed her that I was thinking of her because I couldn't help her out in the same way with her wedding as she did with mine. So I made her a card in a cute little tin, and bought the cutest little colander with strawberries cut into it, and then a couple of pans off of her registry, and Mom got her face cloths cut out of old chenille bedspreads. I also got her a little box with dried flowers epoxied into the top, thinking it'd be a cute little knick knack to fill up some space in that humongous house she has. And that if she hadn't decided what to do with her wedding flowers, well, here was an option. At any rate, it was a nice day had by all.

Sunday we just sat around the house and didn't do much. My brother, Todd and I had lunch @ Tank's. I love their cheeseballs! Then I drove home and discovered that when I sing in the car the kitties have to talk back. So, I stopped singing because their miaowing was driving me crazier than not singing was.

This week we haven't done much, just went grocery shopping. We're hanging around here this weekend to clean the place up. It's irish fest on Harriet Island, maybe we'll go see that, too.
