Ocupado

Well, damn.

Nobody complains when i don't update my blog, so i don't feel any rush. But here is a little of what i've been up to:

Things have been wicked busy here for awhile. Fourth of July is creeping up, and there seems to be a never-ending list of things that have to be done for it. One of our committee members quit, but we also picked up a new, enthusiastic volunteer, so things have gone smoothly for the most part. Tonight there is a Captain Morgan's promotion thingie at the HB, so we have chosen that as our meeting spot. The committee this year consists of me, Zieak, Celeste Fenter, Tiffany Glass, and Robin Jenkinson. It seems like we have added quite a few new events this year, but no more help than we usually have, so already i'm feeling spread kind of thin. Things should go according to plan though, this is going to be the best 4th of July EVER!

On the home front we still have a pile of soil in the front yard just waiting to be spread and planted with grass seed. The front flower box has been installed and all of the shrubs have settled into their new home quite nicely. The cats have also found a new litter box. They are still defending us from the neighbor bully cat. The other day Ollie had a sizeable bloody wound on his poor little ear, but it didn't really seem to bother him. A friend suggested capturing the little terror from next door and paying to have him de-clawed. This cat has already cost zieak alot of money, so i don't think that's an option. Any suggestions?

Work has been hectic, two of the high school girls who were employed there the last year went to Europe, so we have been a little short-handed. (i feel like i'm using alot of hyphens in this post. and now i'm second guessing my use of alot w/o a space.) I may have to ask for some time off next week in preparation for the big celebration, we'll see.

We have had some playtime also, last weekend zieak's cousin dylan came in just for one day on his way to the yukon for the solstice. We spent the day garage sailing, eating beer-bits, walking the docks, and handing out raffle tickets. Just so happened that kito's was hosting a group of strippers that sat night. What a nice fathers day present to the community of psg! Ryan, dylan and i did a pub crawl beforehand hoping to make a fashionably late appearance. Turns out they started almost 2 hours late, which means we only missed about 10 minutes. It was a crazy, erotic, funny, interesting, embarrassing night. Dylan will never forget p-town, that's for sure. I guess they want to come back in August, because they (surprisingly) made more money here than in Juneau. If so, i'll have to leave my atm card at home that night.

We have almost finished watching the first 2 seasons of Family Guy. That is some of the funniest shit i have ever seen. Sometimes zieak and i look at each other, like "how could they get away with this on cable tv?" We have been watching it so frequently lately that we've been describing things by referencing it. "Did you hear that little patter of feet? (Ollie running across the linoleum?) It sounded like Stewie!"

I am DJ'ing a wedding reception this sat night, which coincides with 80's night at kitos. I was so looking forward to dusting off my legwarmers, jean skirt, and huge hoop earrings. Oh well, i'll be making money instead of spending it.

That's about it. The neighbors have been relatively quiet, i'll be SO happy when the 4th has come and gone, and my shoes need a polishing. Rock on.
