My internet was out for three whole days!!!

Which is where I've been in case you were wondering. I thought about voice posting but didn't really feel like it. So let me just go over a few things briefly:

1. The Death of Shaky Jake, Ann Arbors favorite homeless dude. Jake was in his 80's when he died, and he always did just exactly whatever he wanted. He walked around in a lady's red hat, holding a guitar he could not play, filling our heads with little nuggets of wisdom. Once he told me "You alright girl, everything you do will come up sunshine." I don't think EVERYTHING I do comes up sunshine, but it was nice to hear anyway. Jake didn't stay at the shelter much, but I'd still see him around every now and again. Once I bought him lunch at the mall; I felt most altruistic.

2. People are buying gifts off my registry. It's awesome. I got the glasses from [livejournal.com profile] thehula yesterday along with the Wii charge station from Anne. People are entirely too awesome.

3. Work. I'm doing all sorts of odd jobs at work, collections calls, gift certificates, and soon I'll be doing returns and lost package recovery and all sorts of stuff. I feel like I'm barely keeping up with learning all the stuff they want me to learn, but I'm sure it will all come together soon. My work crush is still full of extreme hotness, so that's nice. He was looking at my engagement ring (he's a jeweler) and thinks it costs a lot more than it did.

4. I decided to fire my caterer, although I haven't told her yet. I'm hoping she will want to do some fruit and veggie trays. I'm having the rest catered by the local greek restaurant. It's gonna be delicious. Anyway, my old caterer relapsed again and didn't call me for four days when we were supposed to have a meeting to finalize the menu. Then she lied and said her phone was broken. Lies! Lies and Slander! I don't take it well when people lie to me, the lie insults us both and demonstrates that we don't have a very good friendship to begin with.

5. Today. I'm off work and have already seen the doctor. So I'm done for the day. I'm gonna have a nap, get up, eat something and read my serial killer novel so I can figure out where I want to go next. Also Steve is coming over to take some snaps of the wand he made me. Oh yeah, my friend Steve made me a wand out of red oak. It's really nice, I imagine it will be used at the handfasting.

6. Please let me know if you posted anything important since Tuesday. I hate being out of the loop.

Jesus tried to email you about ending world hunger, but he gave up when he couldn't find a stamp. Pity. :D

They still have world hunger?

[identity profile] wednes.livejournal.com 2007-09-20 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep, I'm drinking out of one right now.

They are awesome, Thanks!!!

That sucks about your caterer. I might have said that before.

I posted an update on my whirlwind weekend last night, but that's about it. Glad to see you back. : )

It does suck, she's a cool person. But man, if she wants to kill herself with drink I just don't want to be around for it. I'm beginning to rethink the whole friendship, frankly.

Seems like a smart thing to do, rethinking the friendship and all. If she's going to lie to you about stuff as important as your wedding, that's just not cool.

Hey, I got my wedding invite.. Thank you. I don't know anyone named "and Guest" but if I meet them between now and then I'll bring them along.

Cooooooool.

If you can't find, "and Guest," I'll be your date! I'm a total babe. Ask Wednesday. ;)

[identity profile] wednes.livejournal.com 2007-09-24 12:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Now THAT would be quite a match!

She really is a total babe!

How can I say no to a girl who has "Tractors" listed as one of her interests in LJ? :)

[identity profile] thehula.livejournal.com 2007-09-24 04:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm the total package, really.

My brief internet stalking would seem to confirm that this is indeed the case. ;)

Sweet! I haven't been properly stalked in AGES! I mean, I google MYSELF now and then, but who doesn't?

'My internet was out for three whole days!!!'

How long was I asleep?

Ha!

Thank goodness you are going to do something different about the catering. As you know, I have felt this is the right decision for a while now.

Better yet, you could not fire her and when she flakes out for your wedding, you already have a back up plan AND you can bitch her out for ruining your wedding, and it's a good thing you knew this would happen, so you hired someone else, and then start in on how she cannot be counted on. You can then say that great/awful parent-esque thing (some would call it Catholic guilt): How dare you treat someone who is supposed to be your friend like this? Everyone told me not to count on you, but I didn't listen. I trusted you, and look how that worked out for me.

I think she's probably guilt ridden enough about all that. Anyway, I still haven't told her, and with her lying to me about the relapse it's going to be much more difficult.
