Wow, I’ve been slack about updating. Oh well.
So anyway. It’s Friday, yay! I had a doctor’s appointment this morning (no big deal, just some tests that turned out negative – it’s all good), so I didn’t get in until a little after 9. This was offset by the times this week that I left the apartment at 5:30 and got in a little after 6 AM. Ugh. I’m glad I don’t have to do that with any regularity anymore. Anyway, I had allotted enough extra time that if I didn’t get in until 10:30 I’d be covered, but now it looks like I have some extra time. Guess that gives me time to write up this entry and maybe leave a little early. Yay!
LAFF Coffee on Wednesday was OK; little_wolf, perro, and night_watch showed up, along with me and linnaeus, and we chatted for a while. I’m thinking that a weekly thing is starting to wear on me a bit, so I’ll be changing the things around a bit. I think this week will be our last regular coffee gathering, at least on a weekly basis. Instead, I think I’m going to a bi-weekly schedule, alternating between a coffee shop in the city, somewhere on the North Side, and dinner and drinks out in the North/Northwest Suburbs. I need to do some research into what venues will work best, so there will probably be a break where there’s nothing going on. I’m sure everyone will cope.
Last night we had takaza‘s tasty homemade mac and cheese and watched a nice show on the Iditarod finish, followed by our weekly sacrifice of brain cells watching Survivor. We also discovered that sleeping with the bedroom door open is not a happy idea since Marble (Linnaeus’ cat) likes to sneak in, perch on our headboard and, right as we nod off to sleep, meow loudly for attention. The second time he did this, he was tossed unceremoniously from the room and the door was closed. Have I mentioned lately that I am not a cat person?
Tonight we have a party to go to, then tomorrow will be kind of a nice slow wakeup. We’ll be heading up north in the afternoon to tend to Briana (roho and genet‘s fl00fy samoyed) and spend the night up there while they’re off partying in Madtown. And Sunday? No clue. We’ll work on that…
(And they were giving out free cans of Monster energy drink with lunch today. No food coma for me! I’m rarin’ to go!)
You mean for once North Chicago gets something better than AP? Alert the media! 🙂
Well, I should clarify. They weren’t giving out Monster today…but they apparently were earlier in the week, which I missed. So your worldview is still sound, AP got it first, NC got the leftovers 😉
(Which isn’t any consolation to me, who didn’t get any at all! *schniff*)
Come see me… I still have my can from earlier this week. 😉
Blrrrgh. You can keep it. Man, that stuff was sickly-sweet.
I do seem to be vibrating, however…
Is it the diet flavor? I’m all about the caffeine, but I think if I drank one of the full-sugar ones, my heart would explode 😉
Ummm… I dunno? I doubt it. It’s a black can with a bright green “M” on it. 🙂
They handed it to me, so I brought it back to my desk, but I haven’t had the nerve to try it… especially since I’ve heard several people talk about how sweeeeet it was.
Ah, yeah, I think green is the sugar, blue is the diet.
C’mon, everyone else is doing it! Chug the can, then report back to us! 😉
That’s the regular formula. The low-carb version (made with sucralose) has a blue “M” on it.
It’s like drinking a liquid sweet-tart.
And WHINE! I WANNA WORK FOR ABBOTT!!
/sob /cry
Furry Meetups happen on the second and fourth Wednesdays, and they’re slated for the coffee shop. Should Ian change that should dinner be the outing for this upcoming Wednesday night?
