Note to self:
From now on, drink your coronas with orange juice instead of squeezy lime juice... It's very tasty.

Man, when I get a house with a backyard, I'm totally getting one of these. I'll put it next to my outside tiki bar.
Whhhhhhoooooooossssssssccchchhhhhh....

Ok, the great ebay sale of 2003 is in the beginning stages. I have a pile of crap to sell, I just need to write up the descriptions/take pictures/make the ads/etc... I wonder what the chances are that I'll make $10,000 that I need to get out of here from the great sale. I'm thinking probably no, but I am extremely positive about the whole thing.

And happy 2nd anniversary to bloglin. I think I'll drink a bunch of beer to celebrate.

Tomorrow is the 2nd year anniversary of bloglin. I've been keeping this blog for 2 freaking years. Oi. It might not have been a consisent 2 years, there's been some gaps. I'm going to get all introspective and cheesy for a moment and compare the krisobi of 2 years ago to the krisobi of today.

krisobi: 2 years ago
27. Lived in Atlanta. Worked for a software company, making fat cash. Owned a condo. Had just ended a 6 year relationship over a difference of lifestyle choices. Drank and smoked a lot.

krisobi: today
29. Live in Rochester. Have a job, making less than fat cash, more like making some under-weight malnourished with rickets cash. Own no property and currently between residences (aka live with my parents). Currently in a happy healthy relationship that has the possibility of lasting more than 6 years. I don't smoke anymore, but I can still put away the booze when I want to.

summary
In general, I'm happier now than I was 2 years ago. But I'd really like to have my own place again.

Next week is going to be the two year anniversary of bloglin. Maybe I'll do a 2-year restrospective with photos and interviews and a big ass rock star party. Or maybe it will be like last year and the day will go by and I'll totally forget. Or, maybe... if I get my shit together, I'll finally get krisobi.com up and running on the actual 2 year anniversary. Wow. What a great idea...

This is interesting. I got up super early (super early for me, anyway) and got to work at 8 to be a super valued productive employee. Plus there was a bunch of stuff to get out this morning. I get here and the email's down. The servers are down. The internet connection is down. I'm stuck. I can't get to any files I need to get to, I'm basically fubared. Everyone is wandering around wondering what to do.

I've worked for places where this would be an excuse to call it a day and head to the bars. We'd be drunk by noon. Good times. Today would be a fabulous day for that, since it is sunny and headed toward 80 degrees. But this isn't that kind of company...

Ok, I had a great time at the shower. We sat at the older relatives' table and they were fabulously catty and gossipy. It was beautiful. And the food was great. And there were no goofy games. No alcohol, but it was ok, we still had fun. See, I can be in a social situation without the demon liquor.

I'm glad that I don't have that many unmarried close friends left. Why? Because I'm tired of going to BB&B and getting the registry printout and wondering around with a vacant expression on my face and bumping into other people who also waited until their lunchhour on the Friday before the Saturday Bridal Shower.

At least I found something in my price range fairly quickly. Does anyone actully find bridal showers fun? I'm sure it's fun for the bride, because getting presents totally rocks, but showers have those really lame games, no booze and no guys. It's all sober women. Yaaarrrrggghhhhh!!!!! How is that fun? I don't mind celebrating with my friends and family and all that good shit, but I hate the lame stuff that goes along with it. I was trying to convey this to my mother a few weeks ago, when there was another shower to go to, and she said something along the lines of, "Krissie, you're going to have to learn to get along in social situations without alcohol." Oooooo-k.

And of course, if I ever get engaged, my opinions about all this wedding stuff will change, I'll become one of those bridal-clone sell outs, only thinking of what color napkin will bring out the color of my main course the best...

Addition to the previous post...

This weekend was so fabulous. I never thought I'd have so much fun without have anything illegal involved. My new boyfriend is fabulous. :)

I'm back from my weekend adventure at the Belhurst Castle in gorgeous Geneva, NY. We had the best time and dinner was fabulous and we looked fabulous. Saturday, we went to Windmill. It was pouring rain and cold, but still lots of fun. I bought Phoebe a hat and got some mustard. I feel so sober... ;)
