so I get pretty drunk sometimes
immediately after getting home from work we starting shooting whiskey.
maybe an hour and a half after I got home my boss needed me to do something.
one of my coworkers ended up taking the call while I did the work because lordy was I giggly.
the user definitely would've known I was trashed.
in my defense, it was after hours on a friday night.
/shrugh

I bought some of those badass curtains for the remaining windows that only had blinds. the bf put them up in the living room (which is right next to the bedroom, and also I have to make a mad dash through the cold living room on the way to my morning shower) and it has made a ~much~ bigger difference temperatures-wise than I anticipated.
we hope the curtains, in combination with several other changes, make a significant difference in the number of kilowatt hours we use this billing cycle.

it was also the first snow of the season.
I got hit in the back with a snowball thrown by my oldest sister. then she aimed at my other sister who promptly began chasing her. both were running around in the front yard laughing and screaming.
have I mentioned my sisters are each about 20 years older than me?
gotta love these guys lol

the bf & I both took a couple of weeks off, taking advantage of the christmas & new year holidays to get a full two weeks off for only 6 days of vacation time.
we've mostly lounged about and it's been glorious!
we did have one thing scheduled though: the winter classic
it was intense and a helluva experience.
plus the stars won.
plus corey perry got a game misconduct about 3 mins into the game [imo it was an iffy call though] so I wasn't forced to watch that shitbag play live (boooh corey perry)
tons of people there but my experience was mostly colored by the 10 jackasses sitting in the immediate vicinity of us. it got better as the game went on but they, along with the biting wind gusts, were the worst part of the game.
aaaaaand we got to visit a conveyor belt sushi joint for lunch before we left dallas.
super fun and I hope to get my buddy lus to go with us at some point
sadly, we also hit up bistro b (dinner after the game) and though those shrimp patty spring rolls were still amazing everything else was much spicier than usual.

some backstory: the bf heard her crying for help while he was working on the back door. found two dead cats in the backyard of the new house. brought her inside and for the moment we're stuck with her. ~ 5 weeks old when we found her.

lemme tell you about that time I met Scott Kirkland
after the show duder hung out signing autographs and taking pictures...
the bf didn’t have any cash and the merch booth didn’t take cards so the bf wandered off to find an atm.
we wound up essentially last in line (the drunk dude [tbf perhaps I should call him two beers guy as he was double fisting] who we’d been chatting with off and on throughout the show was “behind” us) and spent about 10 mins chatting with scott kirkland since there was no one behind us.
two beers guy asked scott kirkland for a story about the lead singer of tool/apc and, among other things, I am apparently the same height as that guy!
I had a great time and the bf was in heaven after that interaction... fans for life based solely on him taking the time to chat with us - the music is simply a bonus

I put in earbuds, put on some brown noise, and read for an hour.
it's really nice, and honestly one of my favorite things about my job.
there's an empty office with a couch in it. I lay out with a couple of sweaters and it's really really nice.
I spent most of the spring on fantasy. this summer I've been reading scifi.
several years ago a friend of mine recommended a fire upon the deep.
I bought it and hadn't gotten around to reading it until now. I'm about halfway through and I wish I knew someone else who was reading it so I could talk about it!
we've been painting and I find myself thinking about what's happened in the book.
Paul, if you're reading this, good fucking job! and I'm sad I didn't start it sooner!
