Someone talk to me
I still have an hour left and nothing to do!
Any weekend plans? Eating something good for dinner?
ENTERTAIN ME PLEASE.

I'm not sure what's for dinner tonight. Tomorrow I have an eye exam and then I think we are going hiking. I'm not sure what we are doing on Sunday. Is it bad that I am already dreading Monday? It's not even Friday night yet!

What are you killing an hour before? Work? A Movie? The Apocalypse?
I'm picking my best friend up from the airport at 9 so I'm just hanging around until then. She is flying in for my shower tomorrow and will be here till Sunday afternoon. I'm way more excited to see her than about my shower.

[QUOTE]Aw that sounds fun Petal! I would hate for any of my friends to move away. They all talk about it, so if they follow through I will be miserable and all alone. Well H would be there, but he doesn't count.

I miss her so much. She is also the kind of person wo is down for last minute stuff or hanging out during the week. We manage to see each other a few times a year but it's hard.
I have 30 minutes left and then I fully plan on going home to take a nap.
I really wanted to go home 30 minutes ago because I don't even think I've slept a full night this week. I'm miserable.
[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Someone talk to me : Last night was particularly bad because I was upset thinking about my parents' dog. I don't know why though. I mean, I definitely miss her but I haven't been upset in awhile.

I'm sorry, grief over pets can be really awful, I worked in the lab of a professor who was looking specifically about how grief for pets differs from grief for loved ones, and they were surprisingly similar. I hope you can get a good nights sleep soon, being tired just amplifies everything by 200, seems like.
[QUOTE]No ideas for dinner yet... Just got word that a coworkers wife and MIL were killed by a drunk driver this week leaving him with their 3 young children. My heart is broken for that family.

Girlie-That is so sad. I'm sorry to hear that.
[QUOTE]Tex-I didn't realize your wedding was so close. I think your sig picture throws me off. Almost there! Girlie-That is so sad. I'm sorry to hear that.

<div>Yep. Just turned in the count to the caterer today. People in my circle tend to randomly show up to weddings when they haven't RSVP/RSVPed no, so I added an extra 10 plates to the count. My parents are willing to pay for it, so I figured why the hell not. That also takes care of the vendors as well. </div>
[QUOTE]When is she supposed to get in Texas? Maybe she'll show up at your door tonight as a surprise. :)

<div>She's supposed to come in Sunday. She's never been to my apartment, so I don't think she would show up as a surprise. She is supposed to be flying in, so I just need to know what time her plane is supposed to be getting in so I can plan accordingly. </div>
For dinner, I'm having spaghetti with this sauce:

It's so dang good and super simple.
H and I are going to watch Olympics while we eat and then watch Black Swan later tonight. After the irrational fears thread I want to watch something really scary, but we just got Black Swan out of the library and only have it until Monday. It's midly scary, so it will have to do.
Tomorrow I get to go to State Fair! I am going to see a bunch of cute animals and eat at least some of these things:
Red velvet funnel cake ($7) - Served warm with a drizzle of cream cheese sauce, what else? A fun, tasty twist on a fair favorite. At G&G Funnel Cake, Big Backyard.
Sprecher soda sorbet ($2) - A creamy, generous scoop of root beer sorbet. A nice little cool-down. Also in grape and orange. At Sprecher Landing, Center St. between Wetley Way and Badger Ave.
Pork doughnut ($5) - Lo, it was good. Plenty of pulled pork in a light barbecue sauce, in between a raised doughnut that mimicked a soft bun. Just lightly sweet, the doughnut played off the barbecue sauce to a T. Well done, Madison Sportservice. On Grandstand Ave.
Fat Elvis on a Stick ($4.50) - This one-ups Elvis on a Stick (peanut butter cup fried in banana batter) by adding bacon. Good idea to add some crispy texture to what otherwise is mostly tongue-coating peanut butter. Served with chocolate sauce. At Slim's Lakefront Brewpub & Eatery, Big Backyard.

Omg. So sorry :( That is fucking awful.
We had a pretty tragic accident here a short time ago - a drunk driver killed an entire family of three (and the wife was 3 mos pregnant). The drunk driver died as well. Area police gave DUI arrestees the option to go to the family's funeral. A few went. And they all said they would never, ever drive impaired again.
I thought that was an interesting thing to do.
[QUOTE]Well I tried Texas. :)

<div>Thanks. Every few months she'll go off the radar for a little while (phone not working, she is working a lot, etc), so I'm kinda used to it. She is an awesome friend, don't get me wrong, I just wish I could get a hold of her. It's nothing I can control and I know all she needs to do is show up to the wedding sober and in her dress, but dammit I want my best friend. </div><div>
</div><div>/end rant that makes me sound like a little brat.</div>

Natrasha, I gagged a little at the Fat Elvis on a Stick, sorry.
Texas, I'm not a very spontaneous person so not having her itinerary by now would be driving me nuts. Here's hoping you hear from her soon.
Texas, I'm sure when I'm that close I'll want my BF too. It doesn't sound bratty at all.
Dinner is something with corn on the cob. Maybe hamburgers, maybe chicken. This weekend is another venue appointment, and I'm going to read to a friend who's in hospice.Nothing terribly exciting.
