Jan. 16, 2004 - Can't think of a title
My poor car, she looks like shit. My beloved Sophia is supposed to be shiny and new and blue except she looks old and tired and white and gray. I need to go get her washed, but I think the car wash places are closed due to this crazy ass weather. I mean shit if the windshield washer fluid is freezing, won�t the water on the car freeze before they dry it off? I am going to make that my mission this weekend; WASH SOPHIE! I leave early from work today. I am supposed to have Girl Scouts this afternoon and I was going to try to make it after the vet appointment at 2:15, but they cancelled school so no girl scouts. I haven�t seen my troop since the Friday before Christmas. We are so far behind already this year. Cookie sales have started. (if anyone wants or NEEDS cookies and you can�t find someone in your area, let me know I can hook you up!) Paul is looking into buying Blake�s Restaurant in Downtown Providence. He stopped in my office yesterday to tell me about it. I told him that I am excited for him. I laid out a few options for him regarding the valuation of the business. He even offered me a job as one of the bar managers. I was stoked. I would do it. I would do it for nominal pay too, just to get the experience. We will talk over lunch sometime he said. I know that this is down the road quite a bit, but I am really happy that he is pursuing this project. We discussed to great length about his business plan and it really sounds great. He is looking for partners. I know we have some money, but Kevin isn�t interested in buying a restaurant. It sounds exciting and I know it is a huge undertaking and a ton of hours need to be worked, but I think we could do it. I really do. Kevin wants to stick to buying Real Estate down the road a bit. He wants to buy investment properties so we can sell them off before he retires and we can move back to Narragansett. I just say ok honey. He will retire when he is 46 years old. I will be 42. I wonder where I will be next year at this time, never mind in 15 years from now! I think my super powers are coming to me. I am STATIC GIRL! Every single time I touch something I get zapped. Every time I shake hands with a client or a vendor I zap them. Even when I go to the copy machine I get zapped, it even turned the little punch screen on the copier black for a second that is how bad the zaps really are. They hurt! I tried Goose Stepping my way across the office to see if that would help and the only thing that accomplished was that I looked ridiculous, because I still got zapped when I went over to the copy machine. This problem isn�t happening to Sara or to Carl. Nope, just me so we came to the conclusion that I must be gaining my Super Hero Powers. I mean that is the only logical thing right? Not much on the agenda for the weekend. I think I want to catch a movie or two, but other than that I am staying home. I have a party Sunday night, other than that not much is happening. I am going to try to stay warm and wash my car. Kevin is going to meet me at the vets with Lou. He isn�t all that thrilled about having to catch him and put him in the carrier, but he said he would do it for me. I asked him if he was sad for Lou and his response was, I am sad because you are sad. He hates the rat, always has. This wasn�t a surprise to me. Lou made me very sick when I first got him. So sick that if I had waited like an hour longer to go to the hospital I could have died or so they say. Who knows? I had Rat Bite Fever and it was the most painful thing that I have ever had. I don�t blame the rat, he didn�t know he was biting me I stuck my hand in the cage to grab the cat (heh, this is a whole other story in itself) and the rat was squeaking and freaking out�NOT HIS FAULT. Well poor Lou got a bad rap and now everyone hates him�except me. * sniff sniff *
