I have ink all over my hands today from drawing more sketches for the Ribbon Jar. I did a bunch and then we got them all in the computer and now I don’t like how they look at all. AHHHHH! But that is how art and design works if it was easy no one would ever center type, am I right people? That is pretty much all I did today besides scare the crap out of Bj. I am always looking for opportunities to do this and today when he went to check the mail I could not resist. I hid behind this little counter thing that sticks out of the kitchen and kind of makes a walkway. As soon as I heard him step through the door I popped up and screamed. He screamed and said, “If I was a girl I would so punch you in the stomach right now.” This scaring people thing never gets old for me. I used to wait outside the bathroom for my brother almost every time he went in! Ha ha I’m cracking up now thinking of that. Well off to watch the Amazing Race even though Lynn and Alex were kicked off last week -boo hoo!

SUCKS!
Today I drove to Salem for a dentist appointment, got up early, got all cute and was ten minuets early! Yeah! I was like, “hey, I’m here for my appointment, blah, blah, blah.” And the lady is all, “your appointment was at 8:40 and you missed it.” I knew I did not make an appointment that early since I have to drive an hour to get there, so I get out my planner and the card they sent me:

I said, “Well here is the card you sent me and someone called me last week to check with me that I was still coming and I wrote it in my planner right here.” She looks at it, then me. “Oh I’m so sorry about that.” silence. “Well can I see the dentist now?” “Let me go check.” (see goes and checks) “no, sorry.” “Well should I make another appointment?” “We don’t have anything available for quite a while, I’m sorry.” What the!!! God!!!! “Well can I please be placed on some kind of waiting list?” “oh, yes I can do that.” AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. So I left, very annoyed but determined not to be all bitchy, because that doesn’t solve anything, right? So I flipped to a peppy playlist on my iPod and cranked it up. Then I get on the freeway and the whole construction section a huge semi was riding my rear. Ugh. I mean I’m not exactly a granny so it’s not like I’m going slow. Geez. So then I get home.

Bj and I decide that we are going to try and make the huge ribbon rack a little better. So we decide to drive to Home Depot in Albany (or actually he decided because he said that our little local hardware/lumber yard wouldn’t have what we needed). So we got there and they didn’t have any of the stuff we needed. So then I got all pissy and just played Lumines the whole trip back to Corvallis with out looking up. Then we get to the little local place and they have everything and are super nice and quick. We get everything back practically kill ourselves trying to make this thing. But I have to say now it is up and really cool looking (pictures to come later).

My brother came over after that and the three of us headed out to gelato. And of course when the boys get together and I’m there they have to make fun of me (which I don’t mind too much because it is pretty funny). The gelato comes in these little containers and Brent’s all “I should save these.” Then Bj’s all (in a high voice) “Oh yes, we should plant little flowers in here.” Brent (in an even higher voice), “No way, I am totally sorting all my beads into these.” LOL those boys know me too well.
