Sorry it has taken so long for an update, but I have been sickly for the past few weeks. The dust/sand here is kicking my ass. (And by ass, I mean my face). I'm on the mend and feeling a bit better now, so you fine people get an update on me and Brian! Yay for you, right!? ;)
Tonight, we are having our weekly True Blood viewing party. A few of our friends come over, I make dinner and we drool over Erik Northman for an hour. It is good times, for sure. Tonight I'm making grilled chicken and zucchini because...drum roll....Brian finally got our gas grill to work! He's the best.
Speaking of Brian and his ability to fix things/make things cool (literally)...we now have misters in our backyard over the patio! They are fabulous. The temperature goes from 115 to 100 in a matter of seconds. Let me tell you, 100 is actually cool for us now. We also now have grass in our backyard.
The grass installation gets its own paragraph because of the guys who took out the hardscape. So there was a foreman, I guess, ...the boss. He came around every hour-hour and a half, I guess. Work was done quickly when he was there. Other than that, they sat on the stoop, chewed their tobacco, BS'd, etc. As soon as the boss came by, they were jumping all over to make it look like they were busy. The link to those photos is here. I had my camera ready this time! Well, all for one incident of a random worker coming by to see if they were ready for the bus home. This guy had on a sparkled top hat. It seriously looked like a disco ball, on his head, wearing his coveralls. It was awesome, but his stay was too short-lived to snap a photo.
I've applied for a job at the Embassy, so please keep your fingers crossed that things go my way. I will be replacing my good friend, Emily, who will be heading home for the States because she's having a baby! I think we will probably split the position when she come back since she'll be busy being a Mom and all. :) I'm throwing her baby shower in a few weeks with my friends Jen and Stacy, who both work at the Embassy as well. This will be the third one I've hosted, and I must say they get easier each time. By easier, I mean less stressful...it could have to do with the fact I have two other people helping this time!
To keep busy, I've been doing some stained glass, reading book 3 of Game of Thrones and I watched the first four seasons of Mad Men. I love that show! LOVE IT! If any of my advertising industry folks are looking for a show to watch, please please please enlighten yourself to the early beginnings of our jobs. It's awesome.
That's all for now. Sorry nothing too exciting is happening on our side of the world. You people need to come visit! :)
