Gifts and Dangle

Filed under: Ali,Amy,Friends — JeniQ @ 10:27 am

We saw a guy dressed in a shiny plastic Lt. Dangle costume on our way home from breakfast on Saturday. His pants kept falling down.

Then I gave the ladies some gifties and they loved them!

Amy got some candy cuffs – you have to eat your way out. 🙂

Ali got a t-shirt with a very subtle message: “Nobody knows I’m a Esbian.” Heh, the shirt’s just folded up. She really seemed to like it, though, so hooray!

After lovely massages on Friday afternoon and a lovely dinner at Irregardless Cafe Friday, we got up on Saturday morning for a traditional breakfast at Waffle.

I love Ruth. Check her out in this short clip of geeky costumes. You’ll be sad if you miss this.

Yay!

Dave comes home today, and Amy arrives this evening. Ali will be here tomorrow. Super excited about having Dave back home and my fun company, as well.

What have I done to prepare for their arrival? The house is impeccable! The cleaners came this week and I’ve also done the following:

  • changed all the bed linens, washed and put up the old bed linens
  • changed all the towels, washed and put up the old towels
  • steam cleaned the carpets where the cats pooped
  • changed the litter boxes so they’re fresh as a daisy
  • vacuumed the living room furniture
  • washed all the downstairs throw rugs
  • evacuated several mice from the garage
  • cleaned out my car, vacuumed it and washed the windows

Everything’s looking very nice. Now I just hope the cats don’t have a kegger this morning and ruin it all.

Three Blind(?) Mice

Filed under: Animals — JeniQ @ 9:22 am

Three more overnight. Ally, I’ll have to not set the trap out again until this weekend or we might just get rid of them all before you get here! I can hope, anyway.

I took them to the same place to release them.

Mice Update

Filed under: Animals — JeniQ @ 8:57 am

Two Mice 

It turns out, unless you release the mice quite far away from your domicile, they might find their way back! This according to my boss, who is wise in the way of such things. So I started marking the mice with paint to see if I was just re-catching the same mice. I have recaught one, which tells me that I’m not dropping them off quite far enough away from the house.

This morning there were two mice in the bucket, one which had a paint mark. See it on the bottom mouse? Mouse with Paint Marks

So I took them with me on the way to work. It was about a 12 mile drive, though probably half that as the crow flies. I released them into the woods. Run, little dudes, run!

Halfway there!

Filed under: Babies — JeniQ @ 9:16 am

I’m now twenty weeks pregnant, which means I’m halfway there. If that sounds confusing (because 40 weeks = ten months) it’s because pregnancy is counted from the first day of your menstrual cycle, which means that for two of those 40 weeks you are definitely not pregnant. The age of the fetus at birth should be 38 weeks.

It’s typically considered a nine month process because you deliver nine months after you discover you’re pregnant. But according to the doctors, it’s ten months. Add to that the fact that most months aren’t exactly four weeks long. Frankly, I still find it confusing so I stick with weeks rather than months. 🙂

Rocky Horror Picture Show

Science Fiction Double Feature!!

Had a great time at the Rocky Horror with Cristin and Kerri. Lots of crazy insane people out, especially because it was the Friday prior to Halloween. You can see the pictures at Cristin’s photo stream (start here) but here is my favorite.

These two had terrific Hot Fuzz costumes – they nearly won the Costume Contest. I was trying to get them to look like they’d arrested me but they actually seemed uncomfortable with that.

And here’s us girls!! Damn we’re cute!

There are more great pictures so follow the link above to see all of the action shots from the film, not to mention the boy who looks like David Bowie at 15!!

Fun Friday!

Filed under: Cristin,David Bowie,Kerri,Meals & Food — JeniQ @ 2:31 pm

What a fun Friday night I had! Cristin came over after work and we decided it was good enough weather to attempt to recreate the back cover of Ziggy Stardust. It took us over an hour to get ready and we were so dolled up by the time we left the house! We headed up to Brier Creek for the photo shoot as we needed one of those red British telephone boxes. Imagine our dismay when we discovered that the damn doors don’t open! What? Why?!?!? I was so annoyed I was laughing.

Regardless, we looked hot. So we went to Champa for sushi dinner. Yum.

After dinner, we met up with Kerri and went to see The Rocky Horror Picture Show. More on that to come!
