Grrr...
I hate when I spend half an hour writing a long post, complete with links, downloads, and other fun things... only to have the computer freeze up and swallow it. It's so discouraging, because I become afraid that if I try to reconstruct the post, the same thing will happen.
That's part of why you haven't heard from me in a while. Part is also that I'm lazy, and part is that I tried to enjoy a few days off. I had planned on blogging Thursday night, but then I got a call from Cheryl, a former co-worker, and we met some other girls from work for dinner and a comedy show at The Loft. The comedian, Johnny Millwater, was hysterical. Even funnier was when Cheryl blasted him with a fire extinguisher during his grand finale (in her defense, he'd dropped a flaming ball of something-or-other on her shoe).
Friday, I actually went out with co-workers again. We headed out to the Cannon Brewpub (which for some ridiculous reason, has no website) for dinner, then checked out a new piano bar afterwards.
Guess What? I got a Saturday off! I know, it sounds insane... and it's only because I have to work every stinkin' day for the next week and a half to cover Dave's vacation. This week is his 20th anniversary, so I suppose he should be able to take a little time off. Big kudos, by the way, to Dave's long-suffering wife, Vicky, for putting up with him for two stinkin' decades!
So Saturday, Cory and I got to spend the whole day together. We spent a couple hours at Auto Fest (a WTVM-sponsored event), kissing hands and shaking babies... er... I mean kissing babies and shaking hands. Then we headed over to another co-worker's barbecue and spent the rest of the evening eating yummy hors d'oeuvres, roast pig, and cheesecake.
I also learned two lessons on Saturday. First, I discovered that I don't particularly like Tequiza. I only like limes in margaritas and key lime pie. Second, I also learned that I'm not very good at Texas Hold 'Em. I wear my heart on my sleeve, so you can read my face like a book. Fortunately, it only cost $5 to find this out. Well, actually, $10... but $5 of that belonged to someone else (thanks, Chuck!).
Eventually, I may post again. I may even try to reconstruct one of the posts that got swallowed last week. Who knows... maybe even more vacation pictures will materialize. But probably not until next week.
Stumble It!
