Reminder...

There are people on the net that have nothing better to do with their time then be nasty to other people online. They post rude comments, spend hours a day talking about sites they hate so much, that they well, spend hours a day talking about them. (lame) They mock the owners and posters for their opinions and their right to free speech. They expect everyone to fit into their narrow-minded little world view or else they throw a temper tantrum.

To these people I say
grow up
.

Here's a bit of info people...the web is a HUGE place. If you don't like what I say here, or who I am, or what I do, or talk about, or what I look like, or the color of my hair, or whatever asinine thing you dwell on, go somewhere else. It's really, really easy. Honest. You just click the little "x" in the corner of your browser and *poof* the offending, big, mean and nasty site has disappeared.

I pay for this site. It's mine. That means I can use it for whatever the hell I want to. Don't like it if I'm bitching about something in my life? Oh fucking well. Go somewhere else. Think I'm stupid for expressing my thoughts? Too fucking bad, don't read them. Somewhere along the line, someone forgot this simple fact: Live and let live Don't like me, cool, fine, whatever, I don't care. This journal is NOT for you. It's for me. I'm not in it for popularity or fame or anything stupid like that. I write it because I need to write and express myself and get things out of my head sometimes. So read or don't, it doesn't matter, but don't waste my time (or yours) bitching about it.

*gets off soapbox*

Huzzah! An Actual Entry!
I've only intended to do an entry for over a week now. Last week of course was crazy with Love's gallery opening and then I just didn't get to any real content since.

So, a brief, run-by posting to get caught up.

Wednesday May 2nd & Thursday May 3rd - We ended up hanging all of Love's art that day. And had a minor panic when they gave us absurd, cheap-ass penny-a-foot chain and S hooks to hang it with. Looked beyond stupid.


Um, yeah.


Had to run to Wal-Mart and get some of the Command Hooks because no holes in the walls were permitted and nothing that would leave any marks. We bought them on the belief they would reimburse us but nope. So that was $27 out of our pocket.


Bad pic, I know, but you can see the drawing of me that's included.


It all worked out well though for a last-minute what the hell do we do to make this not look like ass solution and then we went to buy food. Our friend Rand chipped in on the food budget saying he was part of the "Friends of Parker" fund. (The group who "co-sponsored" the event is known as "Friends of the Library.") They only put in $40 for food. With Rand's help, we basically doubled that and got a MASSIVE amount of super yummy food. Sushi, bruschetta on this delicious garlic Parmesan bite-sized bread, four types of cheese and four types of cracker, a 6lb veggie tray, mini quiche, and these really good multigrain chips with two types of hummus. The library had sodas and water and we borrowed a standing cooler to keep it all iced.


This is just part of one of the two tables we had full of food.


It all went fantastic though. Everyone loved the art and the food and had very nice things to say about both Love and I. (I totally played hostess and made sure the food was fresh and full, everyone was greeted, and to sell him since he doesn't tend to promote himself in any way, shape or form!) Sadly, it means I didn't get anywhere near enough photos since I was busy running the event.

Bad pic I took at the beginning of the night. Never got around to taking more later.


Weekend: May 5th & 6th We finally used the free movie coupon I won from blingo (a friend won and so did I also so you should use it too!) to see Spiderman 3. I thought it was pretty good, not as great as the first two, but still pretty good. Love didn't enjoy it very much because he thought there were too many villains in it. I can see that. It definitely was a little overstuffed. Plus, there was some needlessly jerky/twitchy camera in a few places that made me have to close my eyes. Still, not bad.

After the movie we hit this cool store called International Bazaar and I picked up a really unique item for my next Full Moon Swap package. I don't know my partner yet but the theme is "Once in a Blue Moon" and is supposed to be rare, handmade and unique items and this is so I think whomever gets it will like it. (And no, I'm not saying what it is until I know how my partner is so it doesn't ruin a surprise.)

Sunday we had errands to run since we didn't do them Saturday. Standard fare stuff like getting kitty food, stopping by Costco, grabbing some household items from Target, etc.

Monday May 7th - Thursday May 10th More of the same this week. Tried to catch up on some housecleaning, laundry and related on Monday. Had to run some errands myself (pick up some beads supplies for an order) on Tuesday. Mom came by Wednesday. Today I need to vacuum and I'm writing this much overdue entry. I've also been busy with updating PhoenixFire Designs and my received swap post at Full Moon Swaps. All of which involved getting photos, uploading the photos, formatting the photos and getting it all organized. Of course, the beginning of the week sees Heroes, American Idol, House, American Idol again, Medium (dvr'd) and Lost. (Thursday and Friday we don't have any shows we watch but Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday are busy tv nights around here.)

The Coming Weekend: May 12th & 13th We're heading out to WDW on Saturday. It's my "birthday" trip since Wednesdays aren't exactly conducive to a trip to Disney. You can pick up a birthday button for free from Guest Services, so you'd better be sure I'll be wearing mine. You get lots of "Happy Birthdays!" from cast members (Disney doesn't call them "employees" they call them "cast members" or "CM" for short.) You usually tend to get a free dessert somewhere along your day and Love got a card and a cupcake when we had his lunch at Crystal Palace Buffet. I admit it, I want to bask in the birthday-wishes!

I don't know what's going on Sunday. I'd love to stay over at Disney but we can't really do it. Our passes expire the week after on the 20th so maybe we'll head out the final weekend as well and I can have a second birthday trip. (Hey! It's legitimately in between both weekends so I can do it twice, right?


And...we're spent. Now that I've rambled enough to make up for the week of non-entries (and probably totally forgetting interesting, important or otherwise blog-worthy events) I think it's time for some lunch. I'm starving and seeing as I've been writing this for like an hour now, it's time for some food. (Note: only having a banana so far today, while tasty, is not a meal.) Cookies for anyone who got through that. I'm out!
