The final groomsman is.....

Abe Penberthy.

Auron, Fat Cat and Pork Chop

I'm talking cats because...well, they've been keeping me company the last few days of being at home.

Auron is my "fur baby," so to speak. I've had him since he was a kitten...and now he's 7! He's basically moved EVERY where with me. He's kinda become a crotchety, old man-cat, but that's okay...he's still there when I need him.



Fat Cat is HUGE. A whopping 22lbs! Despite putting him on a "diet"...he's still gained weight. I feel bad because the poor thing is having a hard time cleaning himself.

Alan's quite distraught. We're going to try one more "diet" that's high on proteins...Basically Low-Carb for cats. If that doesn't work, he's going to the vet.

Pork Chop is a happy cat! Not the brightest crayon in the box, but we still love him. Alan and I adopted him together on Jan. 9th....We called him Pork Chop because, well, I saw another cat named "Pork chop" online that I wanted, but when we got there he was gone. So instead, we got our "Pork Chop" and the name seemed to fit. It was a silly name for a silly cat.

Fat Cat loves his new brother!

Fired...

The good news is that Alan has his second interview today! I am REALLY crossing my fingers that he gets the job....

The bad news is ....Well, I got canned today.

Reason: I don't fit the "company dynamic". It's not that I was doing a bad job... but they kept giving me so many different titles, I didn't even know what I was doing anymore! NEways, anyone that's talked to me lately know's I've been frustrated...so they decided to "put me out of my misery." so to speak.No hard feelings though. They were kind enough to offer a severance package and be "good" references for my job hunt.Speaking of job hunt--anyone have any leads for me.

"Great" Bridal Expo

The "Great" Bridal expo was this past Saturday. Even though the event was kinda disappointing, I still had a blast hanging out with Sonia, Kristy and future-mom-in-law.

The expo was mainly booths advertising timeshares, photographers, and places to have bridal registries, like Bed, Bath and Beyond. There were few gown places, though I did find one I would like to check out. I was also looking for cakes and wedding officiants, but without any luck.

The "fashion show" was a bit of a joke since many of the dresses didn't fit the models very well, some were also damaged or dirty. I think the best thing about the show was Kristy's commentary! LOL.

NEways, There will be a few other shows later this year, one April 27, and one June 8 that I will want to check out.

Random list of stuff...yeah...

Heh...well, I guess I will fill in the rest later!
