It's rare these days that the computer's free when I get home from work. Dave's teaching online classes now, so he spends a lot of time on this here machine. It just doesn't seem right to say "Hey, stop doing work so I can mess around online," ya know?

Lots of stuff has gone on since my last post, not much of it very interesting. Most of it's just the little kinds of things that's of no interest to anyone but me, and maybe Dave.

Well, Dave and I celebrated our third anniversary. That was more interesting than most things. We were married Sept. 8, 2001. That's right! We were in Canada on a mini-honeymoon on Sept. 11. I was going to write about that on Sept. 11 this year, but I just really didn't feel like it. Maybe next year. On a happy note, Dave got me (us) surround sound for our anniversary, and it's pretty damn cool. Three little speakers on the front wall, one big speaker by the entertainment center, and two little speakers behind the couch. It's crazy to hear the little sounds you've never noticed before when you're sitting on the couch watching a movie.

We took my co-worker Kurt and his twin girls fishing at my parents' house a couple weeks ago. Good times were had by all. I actually did some fishing, which I haven't done in several years. I was impressed that I can still cast, but I lost one on Dave's pole 'cause I pulled a little too hard and the line snapped. Oh well.

Rusty has the fleas, so he got a bath last week, and all three animals got a Frontline treatment yesterday. They were not impressed, and Rusty did a bit of peeing in the living room and kitchen. He tends to get scared when both of us come at him, can't imagine why. Just because it usually means bathtime or trouble...

I took a bracelet-making class with Joy a few weeks ago, and I'm quite proud of the results. I tried to take a picture of it to put on the Web site, but it's a bit blurry. We'll see how it looks. Joy and I are taking an earring-making class next week, and then we're gonna head to Hobby Lobby and go bead crazy. Woo-hoo!

I've been in a semi-crafty mood lately. I finished curtains for one living room window (except for the ties) on Sunday, and I'm hoping to start work on the ones for the other living room window on Thursday before our new weekly pool date with Dave's friends. I'm also really in the mood to do that Barbie doll dress thing again (can I say again if I really only ever made one practice dress?). And as far as I know, I'm making Dave's Dumbledore costume this year in hopes that we get happy little trick-or-treaters now that we live in a house. So much to make, so little time.

Well, I want to go mess around with my site now, so nighty-night!


*BURN UPDATE* It's looking forward to fall/winter when I go back to being pasty white so it will show up better.
