A little wine and music Jul 29

So I’m actually gonna write tomorrow’s blog right now since I have the day off.  And well it just feels like a good time to write.

The other night I decided to open the bottle of wine some friends gave me for taking pics at their wedding.  I decided it might be a good idea not to finish the bottle the other night and I’m glad I saved it for now.  M and I decided to have spaghetti for dinner, which goes GREAT with red wine.  :)  So now M and I are sitting on the couch listening to music, I’m drinking wine and I’ve been reading blogs.  There is nothing on TV and I felt more inclined to sit and write.  I will grab a book soon and join him in the the calmness of the night.  It just feels like the right thing to do.

I talk about Julio on here quite often but I don’t think I’ve said much about our/my other cat Halle.  I got Halle almost 10 years ago.  It was my last year of college and I was living by myself.  (There was a small incident with my roommate, her bf and the cops.  He came to our place and beat her up, with me there, NOT COOL.)  Anyway I convinced my landlord to let me get a kitten.  I grew up with cats and I couldn’t wait to get my very own kitten.  Hal was such a cute little girl.  Solid black, only a tiny white spot on her belly.  Because it was just me and her I talked to her alot and in return she started talking back….boy if I’d only known.  She has been an only kitty most of her life except for brief stints living with my parents, it was just me and her.  I have to admit that I don’t give her the attention I used to, but she isn’t really an affectionate cat.  She likes her Halle space and cuddles when she wants.  I’m sure it has been a big adjustment moving to M’s house and then there’s Julio (her nightmare).  But she is still my Hal.

Hal’s always been a “I want what you have” type cat.  This pretty much includes everything food related.  I even found that just like her mom, she likes red wine.  So as I refilled my glass tonight and saw her laying on the stairs I decided to see if she’d like a drop or two.  I will put my finger in the glass get a drop and let her lick it off.  She likes wine.  It’s good.  :)  Anyway as I was going to get a drop from the glass Julio decided he had to know what was going on.  He walks over, smells the glass, backs away and then moves closer to Hal’s mouth.  As he does this I accidentally hit his face with the drop of wine.  He immediately grimaces, backs away, shakes his head and scurries off.  It was really quite funny.

***I hope no one finds this post offensive.  I do NOT get my cat drunk, only a few drops licked off my finger.

Well I guess I will join M in the solace of a good book.  I am currently reading Finger Lickin’ Fifteen by Janet Evanovich.  It is a great series if you haven’t read them.  They are easy reads and Laugh out Loud funny!

Enjoy your Friday!

Random Stuff Jul 29

Last night was day 2 of Fit to K (I’m changing the name, it just sounds better).  Anyway I managed to run 7 minutes last night.  One whole minute more then Monday.  Baby steps, baby steps.  I am proud of myself.  Now to just keep it up.  I’ve decided that this go round I am going to focus more on time then distance or calories.  I think that will be the best way to actually improve my cardio.  Plus it would be nice if I could actually just run a mile.  Just one.  Not asking for too much here, but it would be nice to know that I could go out and run a mile if I felt like it.  Of course I don’t want to limit myself but it’s kind of embarrassing when you can’t run just a mile.

Yesterday I started my search for Save the Date envelopes.  I knew I didn’t just want plain white envelopes.  I have a plan ;)  And since I don’t want to give too much away, I’ll just that I wanted colored, shocker, envelopes.  I found a place online that had the envelopes in the color I was looking for.  Even though I had to buy a pack of 100 they would be cheaper then the plain ones I could buy at Staples.  I thought it was hilarious that the envelopes were less then $10.00 but the shipping was almost that.  Oh well.  I saved so much on the Save the Dates that I figured I could spend a little more envelopes.

In other news, oh, there is no other news.  I have tomorrow off so I may not post until late.  This week I’ve been back to my lunch time posting.  Next week should be crazy though.  My co-worker is leaving and a new one is starting.  And if things stay as busy as they have been I’m gonna be SCREWED!  Orders have been pretty constant along with a barrage of random things coming my way and trying to train someone new should be interesting.  I foresee a lot of notes and screenshots for him.  :)  Hey what can I say, I’m a great teacher.  HEHE!

And my apologies for yesterdays blog title.  That might qualify for the LAMEST blog title to date!  Happy Friday to me!  Happy Thursday to everyone else. 🙂
