::get going, get gone::

ah, saturday. laundry calls. oh so many things to get done. i'm warming up to the idea. i really should get dressed & get outside and plant some things in our yard. and, as i watch the words appear on the screen, i'm feeling more & more guilty as i write this post. well, here are some current highlights, in no particular order:

. went to a chamber of commerce mixer on thursday. they raffled off tickets to aimee mann. the women who won them gave them to me when i went to congratulate her! woo-hoo!
. my manager is going to try to get regional approval to promote me back to my former position before i left the bank. that would mean a total raise of $1.00 this year. i don't feel i deserve it. this branch rawks!
. my sister is staying with us this weekend. we talked till the wee hours, it was good. oh, well, it was only 11:30 at night, but we were really tired!
. two words: sam phillips. i can't wait to review the album next tuesday. wow.
. last weekend saw vicki, who i went to junior high with, for the first time in something like 10 years. time stood still, let me tell you! it's so normal to hang out with her, only now she has 2 kids. weird. (i mean that in a good way)
. annie lennox: wonderful
. cousin gary & shakeh got married. we ate. we danced. we ate some more. servers brought out a roast pig for the wedding party, complete with an apple in its mouth, at about 10pm. we ate. we danced. shakeh is armenian. they know how to par-tay!
. i can't get napoleon dynamite out of my head. "i caught you a sweet bass. wanna play me?"
. joanne's baby shower last weekend. she's having a girl! cheers to the new mom-&-dad-to-be!
. adrienne found work. walking distance from her flat. yeah!
. x-box. i'm not sure about how i feel about it all. i like neopets. do they make fantasy/old-nintendo-style games for x-box? i'm not feeling too high tech. too many buttons. justin, you rawk!
. payday. it's not just a candy bar.
