Some things have gotten better
N is still spending almost every minute outside of work asleep! Yes, this bothers me, but what am I to do? He's not well!

I on the other hand am feeling better. Haven't had a 'moment' in days. The sun is shining and I have a bladder infection. Heh

Friday I went out and got my nails done. Love, love LOVE having my nails done. Got a pedicure while I was at it and have to say that I'm going to start scheduling those more often as well! There is something so feminine about long nails. It makes me want to talk with my hands all the time so that they show, wear all white and big floppy sun hats while being filmed in soft focus.

I spent most of Friday night playing with my hair. Most of Saturday too. I just couldn't seem to find anything that I liked that my hair was capable of... I'm still pissed at the 'hair gods'. Why do I have to have this baby fine, ram-rod straight hair that can only be worn in a page boy or shorter, and THEN not being given the lovely soft fine bone structure that would allow a page boy or shorter to look amazingly sexy? It's too short to wear up, too straight to get to curl and STAY that way. Ok - so I'm still pissed.

Saturday - :) The party was GREAT! N's kilt was a hit and he enjoyed being the only guy NOT dressed as a 'lemming'. Although I can't tell you the number times he was asked about his underwear. He would just smile that innocent little smile of his and say "I'm not telling"

I hit it off the wife of one of his co-workers and we spent the night being `girlfriends'. You know, going to the bathroom together and all that stuff. I was being my normal catty sarcastic self and she kept laughing her ASS off. Just because I SAY all those things that other people think... I guess it shocked and entertained.

The bummer part was her hubby wasn't much into parties and wanted to leave early. She and I were having a good time, dancing together as neither of our dates would dance with us. We stopped by the guys to see how they were doing and she got the "Common we're going home!" routine. I guess his mom was watching the baby and he didn't want to get home too late? Whatever! It was a lame excuse and everyone realized it but him. She started to give him a hard time and he got pissed and walked off making like he was going to leave her there. Not the most pleasant way to end the evening. It left N and I going "Uhh.. bye?" Oh well.

I got a few compliments on my dress and I was happy overall with the way things went. One item of note were the bartenders at this party. I'm not sure how many of you have ever been to one of these 'company function' things with the open bar, but usually they use the word 'bar' loosely. First off, you're lucky if they carry something other then beer and wine. And when you DO get a mixed drink about 1/2 of it is water. Not these guys! Not only did they have a full array of hard alcohol, but these suckers were STRONG! On more then one occasion I saw people going back and asking for their drinks to be cut a bit. YUM! I managed to have three long island ice teas, one vodka and cranberry, one Heineken - uh.. and that's it. No problem! :)

Yesterday was spent out and about. We went on a couple of hikes with the GPS and found a few geocaches. Yes, you read that right, I drank all that alcohol and got up the next day and went hiking. Heh. I don't know if it's my German constitution or what, but I've never had a hangover. (Thank GOD!)

While tromping around we managed to blunder into something that we thought was poison oak! I spent the rest of the evening feeling as if my skin was crawling and clawing fruitlessly at it. Even after we looked it up and N assured me that it WASN'T poison oak AND I had taken a shower and scrubbed from head to toe I couldn't stop scratching.

Oh - and one more bonus point for getting my nails done. On Saturday N was teasing me.. "The dishes, can you hear them? They are calling your name...'S wash me!'"

I thought about it for a moment and answered "I don't THINK so, I just spent $40 getting my nails done..."

That was all I had to say. He instantly became serious said "Oh! Good point! You spent money on those! Just leave the dishes!"

You have to love a man who understand 'these things'
