Jul. 24th, 2008 06:35 amI really need to turn the heat back on...it's FREEZING in the house right now - in the low 60's. It's 47 degrees outside. But they keep saying on the radio that it's supposed to get up to 78 degrees. I have my doubts.
I'm alone until tomorrow. My brother and family drove out to Spokane yesterday to visit her relatives out there, so it's just Munchy and I until Lance gets in around noon tomorrow. I'm supposed to pick him up, but it occurred to me last night that I'm supposed to work the phones during lunch tomorrow. Crap. So now I have to see if someone will cover that for me out of the kindness of their hearts.
I get a bonus check today! YAY! And I also have a meeting with my supervisor to discuss my raise. The check I get in 2 weeks will reflect my new rate of pay.
Reece has this new thing she does that is cute and hilarious. She has been sleeping in bed with me since Lance has been gone, and at some point in the middle of the night, she moves from my feet up to my head. When she does that, she usually comes and licks me in the face a lot (which wakes me up, of course) and then she curls up so that she's laying along my chest with her head under my chin. She'll grab my wrist in her teeth and move my arm to wherever she wants it. So once my arm is positioned where she wants it, I'll pet her. When she's had enough of that, she'll grab my wrist in her teeth again (she's very gentle with this) and move it away. I find it very touching and sweet, actually. She just wants to be with her mommy.
Couldn't get her into day camp today as I'd hoped, so I have to come home at lunch to check on her. She goes into the Pet Hotel on Saturday morning, as we are leaving for Portland, but I'm still not entirely sure I want to go. There are absolutely no hotel reservations...no plans for anything to do. While I like to fly by the seat of my pants in some respects when I travel, I don't generally wing it THAT much. I already know that most of the downtown hotels are booked solid this weekend. And I'm not sure my brother would like being back by 6 pm on Sunday to pick Reece up from boarding.
She is cracking me up right now, because she's standing outside the laundry closet, barking at the washing machine. HAHAHAHA. Silly puppy.
New addiction at the moment: Christopher's Assorted Fruit Jellies (from Trader Joe's)...OMG. BEST. GUMDROPS. EVER. My sister-in-law also has me drinking Belgian fruit beers. I've tried the peach and the apple so far, although the apple tastes too much like regular beer. The peach was delicious. We still have a bottle of raspberry in the fridge.
Lance and I are taking them to dinner tomorrow night. Marcus specified that it had to be someplace local. So we're either going to do Pizzeria Fondi or Duke's Chowder House.
