I'm here!
Sorry I've been go so long, didja miss me? :p I was stuck in my house all day Friday (without my lifeline of an internet connection) waiting for the stupid SBC phone guy - all to find out at 5:30 they're like - awww sorry bout that, didn't they tell you you didn't need to be home? NO! At 11:30am when I called to see where the heck they were at (pissed I couldn't go run & get a cup of coffee) the SBC customer service guy said "Sorry, ma'am - you've got to be there from 8-6pm" grrrrrr. Anyway, come the end of that day, my phone STILL isn't hooked up & working!! I have to call today & see whats up with that. This is the *PAIN* of moving.Saturday I hopped around to a few garage sales, and scored some great finds! An absolutely beautiful antiquey dresser type thing (Sebastian, a furniture maker I met Saturday night, knew the name for it, but I can't remember now). Anyway - it is beautiful - has GOT to be worth more money than I paid for it - I got it for $30!!! I also picked up a cheese grader (25¢), a wine rack ($1) and 2 Cakebread wine glasses (cuz I love Cakebread wine... well that - and they were only a $1). Gotta love garage sales!!
Saturday night Jee & I went over to Kat's party - wooo hooo!! [5/20/03: Photos posted!] What a FUN night!! Jonas was DJ'ing and we were all shakin our groove thang's somethin fierce!! It was HOT HOT HOT :) I met a lot of really nice people, enjoyed some great "fire side chats" and, being the official party photographer that I was, I even got to take some riské photos of a cute girl! Now that's my kind of party!
Oh! I finally met Alyx, too! She said she was hoping to find me at the party, after seeing my name on the evite - we'd never met, but had emailed via Ryze for months trying to hookup for lunch sometime! It was great to finally meet her!
Sunday Jane & I had a mondo garage sale! Clothes galore, books, shoes, and more... we actually made out pretty good! Jason, Stig, Doug, Ev, Courtney and Lane all stopped by for a visit, too! We even plan to have another one to sell the rest (Jane has more clothes than a small consignment shop!!) I just have a few things left - Oh, and then there's Doug who showed up around 1 or 2pm with his small collection of GAP shirts, pants & sweaters that any fashion saavy man on a budget would be delighted to discover at a garage sale.
Heh - grabbing links, I just read Jane's summary of the day - and she covers the rest of what I was going to say - about the signage & all.
p.s. her cookies were damn good.
Oh - and as I sit here I am also writhing in pain from VERY sunburned shoulders and back :( I'm soo mad about it actually. I HATE the idea of getting sunburned with NO sunscreen on. I left mine at home & I guess Jane didn't have any... so as much as I tried to start staying out of the sun later in the afternoon, the damage had already been done. Please God, don't give me skin cancer!
Photos of the whole supa' fun weekend (and even some of my unbearably cute kitty, who is finding all sorts of places in our new house to look absolutely adorable) will be posted very soon... I'm prayin my Wi-Fi will *finally* be flowing by this evening.
