Days go by...

Thank you to the Hendrey family for reading and sending me emails and phone calls about that last post. I've never forgotten how much your family meant to me when I was growing up.


Happy Canada Day *cough* 2 days ago *cough*

The last Canada Day that I celebrated we went to the river valley and watched the fire works. I think it was me, Tara, Boutie, Andy, Jeff, Stephanie, Curtis and Troy? That was, I think, in 2001? Somebody help me on this one... Tara? We all got seperated and it ended up being only me, Tara and Boutie, but it was still fun, and fucking crowded. Not to mention all the drunk people. It's hard to have fireworks when the sun goes down in the summer, because it doesn't get dark until 11pm or so. So here in Las Vegas, they're going to be setting off fireworks at 8pm. Oh well. I won't be in the city....

Happy USA Day

I will be on a boat on the Colorado River, sipping umbrella-laden drinks, avoiding all the terrorist plots to plant floating beer cooler bombs on the water. My coworker is working for me on a Sunday and this will be the first Sunday in 4 months, make that the first WHOLE DAY IN FOUR MONTHS that I've been able to see Brandon. I haven't seen him in the daylight for a while, we have totally different days off, and I'm tired on his days off, and he's tired on my days off, not to mention that he works until 9pm sometimes (after starting at 9am). He is such a good man. He really makes me feel needed and wanted and is always there when I need to vent or laugh or tickle. Did you know that we have never had a fight? We've never yelled at each other. There's been dissagreements, but it's never gotten to the "Cops" level or even to the shouting level. He is just so laid back about things and has such a grounded view and perspective. Ooops. I just drifted into a Brandon moment. :D Where was I? Oh yes, the boat. Lisa, Doug and Gerrad are friends of Heather and James from Seattle and they're here for the weekend so they will be on the boat with us. As for tonight, we're having a gathering at my house, sort of a pot-luck type of event, just to chill with the homies in the crib yo. And then we're going to try to get up at like ass-crack in the morning to get out to Willow Beach to pick up our boat by 9am. HA! Heather is making her famous tuna salad sandwiches with gluten-free bread. Lisa and I went shopping yesterday at Pier 1 and bought these cute little toothpick sandwich holder-togetherers with little palm trees and felt monkey's with coconuts on them. Total cheese, but really cute. I will have plenty of pictures from that event. I hope everyone enjoys the holiday!
