Two Parties and the Zire72

by Slack, on May 30th, 2004

So, we had an interesting weekend. Heidi’s sister threw a house warming party. Her husband could not attend, however (?). The party was nice. Heidi made some badass wraps: salami, cream cheese, and green peppers. Damn good combo. Also made some froo froo strawberry shortcake thing. Yuck! I suppose if you liked that sort of thing it would be good. Anyway, all things were goin along just fine, then one of the little boys there comes screaming into the house. There’s blood all over his shirt and he’s holding his face just balling. Seems he peeked over the fence and got his face bitten by the next door dog… :( Poor kid. It JUST missed his eye but the bite was pretty deep. The best part is when the owner was asked about shots, he said, “Nope. He hasn’t had any shots…” I mean come on! That’s not very responsible! Sheesh! Unfair to the dog who now may be put down depending on the outcome, and definitely not fair to the child — let alone the neighbors. Some people!!!

My cousin’s graduation party was this weekend as well. Very kewl shindig — as usual. My uncle, I swear, is the most amazing chef on the planet. The food was downright orgasmic. Was a great time. Rhys got to meet much of his family on my side and was just smothered with affection. hehehe We had people we didn’t even know coming up to us and showering Rhys with attention. Amazing how many people followed the twins on the site. Still puts me in awe to think of it. Sure made it much easier to bare the hell we went through. I’ll be eternally greatful. So, the party was a roaring success aside from the freakin bartender who snapped my credit card in half!! SheesH! Wasn’t truly her fault, as the card was on its last leg, but at least say sorry or something. Not a peep… I hate that. Because now I don’t want to tip her, but I know I will be back for more drinks and she’s the only bartender in the place. :( That’s ok tho. Maybe she did me a favor and it will curb my spending habits. ;)

Lastly, my new palm is great. Great, except for the shitty ass camera Palm decided to slap into it. It’s damn near close to a perfect palm. But NO! They have to screw up the friggin camera. Bastards. My last palm — the predecessor model to the new one — had a beautiful camera in it, tho it was a lower resolution. It was clear, and took well in low light. Low light now for the new palm pretty much renders the camera useless… If you are thinking of buying a Palm Zire 72, wait till the next model comes out I say. Way to go Palm! You really shit the bed on this one!

Wow – Rhys out in public partying it up! How far he has come! Does this mean we are cleared to get close to him also? Because I am anxious to get to know him! Glad that things are going well and that you had an eventful weekend! I did also – got a new car and did a few other exciting things. Got a bit older too. :( Pushing the big 30 now! My love to all of you – I really need to get on the phone so we can catch up for real. Thanks for my birthday cards! Hope to talk to you soon!
