For those of you who didn't know, it was my first year anniversary on Monday. We had a good time, went to Wendy's and then went out to see Superbad. We are planning to go to a very nice dinner sometime in the future, it would have been hard to do on a Monday after work. Scott and I have made it a whole year and it's been a wonderful one... though I won't say it hasn't been without it's fair share of arguments. We get along well most of the time, in fact we hadn't argued much before we got married, but marriage is wonderful work. As a sitcom once said 'anything worth getting takes hard work', or something like that.
My week at work was pretty well, we are gearing up for an All Employee Meeting, which takes a lot of work when you have 700 employees, as you might imagine. That has been a bit of work, and I even had to call in sick last week on Thursday - which just meant that I had to play catch up on Friday.
I would just like to say the weather this summer in Seattle has been altogether dreadful and sodden. We have only had about three completely sunny days (two of which were last week) and I am convinced it's not global warming as much as 'global weather pattern shifting'. This is ok for me right now, but I feel bad for those of you really suffering this summer from extreme heat, floods, and random hurricanes. Hope winter comes soon and you get a break from the heat, maybe with some extreme cold?
And speaking of hurricanes, my parents recently adopted a new cat, named Anabelle, and she is from Hurricane Katrine. She was shipped up here with some other animals and my parents adopted her. She's very nice, though rather small. I wish I had a picture for you, but you'll have to take my word she is cute.
And it was my Mom's Birthday on Saturday - Happy Birthday Mom! Scott and I drove up to the Monroe Fair and had a good time with some of the fair food. They have deep fried Oreos this year, not that I have ever tried deep fried anything (other than cheese curds). That's about all I have!
Posted by 10lees at August 26, 2007 08:05 PMWooo! Finally, someone else has joined me in my wish for winter to come. When I say that I can't wait for winter, people always look at me like I'm crazy.
Posted by: jeff at August 27, 2007 06:23 AMI'll have to send you a pic of Annabelle so that you can post it here. ;) She is a calico/tabby - looks rather swirly on her sides.
Seeing T for lunch today in that late great city of ??? ;)
Thanks for coming to the Fair and enjoying the day with us. Even though clouds were overhead it didn't rain on us.
Love you,

A) Happy belated anniversary. B) Hooray fair! C) I hate extreme temperatures, whether hot or cold, so I pretty much hate summer and winter and like spring. D) I draw the line at deep frying my already fattening dessert.
Posted by: Lo at August 30, 2007 08:20 PMClouds just protect us from sun damage, at least that is the lie I tell myself. That's the secret to my very young looking face... despite that lady at Nordstrom telling me about covering up my 'fine lines'.
I like winter when it is snowy, as it rarely was snowy enough for me in MN. I don't like winter here too much, it's just rainy... which is what it has been all summer too.
Deep frying dessert does seem wrong, but I still wonder if it's tasty...
Posted by: 10lees at August 31, 2007 08:02 AMbut deep frying cheese is a little bitty crunchy bite from heaven. sigh.
Posted by: dr gonzo at August 31, 2007 08:20 AMNext time you'll just have to try some deep fried oreos - just don't tell anyone. :)
What is it about those Nordy employees insulting us to make a buck??? You don't have ANY LINES DARHLINK!!!
I had a cosmetic employee about reem me out about not washing my face daily - now does it look like my face has suffered ... don't answer that. ;)
Love you,
