god - it feels like i haven't written in this thing in ages. those long weekends really throw me outta wack.... not that i'm complaining, mind you.
well, we went to p's cabin friday afternoon after we swindled our way out of work around 1:00.. which was really nice b/c we avoided a lot of traffic that way. the first night was fun with just us two and his folks. the next day was rainy all day and his sister, her hubby and his aunt and uncle arrived along with one sick three year old and three very hyper (and smelly) golden retreivers... it was still a good time but by the end of the day i was feeling a little cooped up. luckily the next day was nice and partly sunny. i fell asleep in the lawn chair and got some sun. then we left around 10pm and there was no traffic home either... so we did good.
yesterday we had off from work like most of the rest of the world, so we slept in and then i took paul out for dinner for his bday (even though it's actually today). he really seemed to enjoy it. neither of us could sleep last night though... it must've been because we slept in so late.
so today we got to avoid the monday morning meeting since it's actually tuesday. common sense would tell us that since it's the beginning of the week we'd still have our usual meeting, but nothing around here works under common sense rules... i'm not complaining, though, i hate those meetings.
i feel like a murderess... my poor little daisy plantling was dead when i got back to work today. they were doing so well, and then they just started dropping off, one by one - 'til now i have nothing. i have some more seeds, though, so i'll probably try again.
my fishies are doing well though - and i still have two snails. everyone seems to be simbionically cohabitating along... although, i did start off with three snails... i haven't seen one of them since the first day. you wouldn't think a fish would eat a snail whole, but that must be what they did, or the empty shell would be floating at the top of the tank. it was a pretty small snail.
