two weekends ago we went to gettysburg with our neighbor-friends and their fetus [yay babies!]. we drove through lots of monument-filled battlefields. it was eerie. it would have been even more eerie if it hadn't have been biker week. for lunch we ate some excellent pulled pork and pit beef at corbin's then drove home and were pooped.

last weekend was artscape and we got to see some awesome dancing, a human zoo, a mini rave and a great psychedelic band on the charles street bridge. it was also the weekend of a giant anime convention, which was pretty much the best people watching experience ever. friday we walked henry up to federal hill and on the way drank margaritas and watched the surreal mix of the usual baltimoreans and teens dressed in frilly costumes and boys with swords mingle. then we bought takeout lithuanian beer from the harbor way in and went to zellas. saturday after artscape we drank cans of pbr and G+Ts at club charles then walked home and drank some more at zellas.. that was the third time that week we closed the bar there. go us.

yesterday i found out i got a job!.. a two week temp placement doing production and design work. i start next week and it will be about 19.5 months since my last actual graphic design job. halleluja.

did you know that alan thicke is robin thicke's father? this changes everything..

this week i drank smoothies for breakfast, did not turn on the tv, was told i look good for 26, made a birthday card, baked a pie, went duck-pin bowling, helped out a friend, bought some 80s liz claiborne, ate pizza fries, sewed a skirt of out pants, drew some drawings, walked the dog 12 times, and today i almost lost it on a few of the regular goodwill patrons. today was not my day. thankfully petey is finally home and i've got a belly-baby full of new york friend chicken. and it is the weekend. thank you jesus.

last week/weekend we were in the mitten celebrating. we hardly slept and still didn't have enough friend-time.

last wednesday afternoon, while frantically driving around collecting bachelorette party supplies, i drove past the former site of our neighborhood kroger. and once upon a time, a mcdonalds, too. they were both gone. well, mcdonalds had been gone since my freshman year of high school, but i was sad to see see the building without the blue kroger letters. it was a terrible grocery store. the kind where you buy rice and a week later it hatches moths. but it is where jeff bought me my first jug of carlo rossi and where we stole "regal rump" stickers during that one night we slept in the car in high school. anyhow, i stopped to take photos.

thursday henry met chopper the pug at the duncan's house then there was a bon fire. it was quiet [minus the drunks] and you could see stars and it felt like camping. friday was the rehearsal dinner. i cried. saturday was the wedding where i cried some more. then got drunk and danced. it was great. anyone who says they hate weddings is lying.

sunday we played with the dogs in the backyard and had a bbq. my parents made lots of yummy food and we had family chats.. weird family chats. monday we bought a buttload of wine and beer, had breakfast with cal and val then drove home. then we were zombies. then peter left for PA. then i played my first lasertag game[s]. i sucked bad. now peter's back.

i've got no patience to write this nonsense. i must note for posterity that, yesterday while working at goodwill, i had to clean up vomit from the fitting room floor. boozy, cocktail fruit vomit. the end.
