cats, wine, -34 degree weather, floss, salmon, and chap stick

sadie goes to the vet tomorrow. i'm slightly nervous about the whole ordeal. i don't know if i should tell her... to prepare her for the horrors of surgery. perhaps they should make a sequel to grey's anatomy and set it in a vet's office. i don't know why i just thought about that... but anyway, i think it would be very dramatic. kitties and doggies and cows and other animals. i slightly buzzed right now. i find that writing on my blog usually turns out really well when i've had half a bottle of wine.

by the way- my sweet friend with awesome taste told me to try moscato wine. its amazing. its the type of wine that tastes more like juice than wine. i guess if you like the taste of wine you would probably like a wine that tastes like wine instead of a wine that tastes like juice. but still, i'd give it a try. my sweet friend also told me that i ramble a lot when i'm buzzed. she is amazingly smart and extremely observant. i'm throwing a singles party on valentines day and she is coming. i think i will buy some moscato for the party. i wish wine came in 12 packs. that would be extremely dangerous. but yummy. and good. yo.

okay, so its wed. night and obviously i've been drinking. normally, i don't get buzzed on a week night. but since this week has been a week of almost no school and i just got a call saying that we have another 2 hour late start, i thought i'd have a glass. or two. anyway, i never thought i'd complain about not being able to go to work but i am. perhaps i am a grown up. gross.

i've been reading, flossing, and working out daily. i impulsively bought an exercise bike last week. i'm pretty much so excited for it to come in the mail. wow. i never thought i'd say that. an exercise bike costs more than floss. just thought i'd let you know.

tomorrow i get to sit in as the pianist for the worship team at the church i've been attending lately. i practiced my lead sheet skillz today and i'm really looking forward to spending some time with the team. i hope i'm good enough for them- they are super good. they incorporate hymns and worship songs which i love. i was drawn to their church because of the creative ways they worship and the community the members have. they seem genuine and loving toward each other. last sunday a missionary from alaska came to speak and he brought fresh salmon for a salmon bake. it was amazing. i've never had salmon like that before. plus it was great meeting more church members. one of the older men at our table asked if i was the wife of the missionary. nope. i've never been to alaska. i would like to go someday. the church is taking people there this june. i don't think i'll be going.

i've lived here over 6 months. i can't decide if it feels like i've lived here forever or if i just moved here. since i've adopted sadie my life has turned much brighter. its like i don't really need human friends. only cats. many, many cats. the transformation is almost complete. i'm almost a scary cat lady!

i learned from one of my students last month that it is possible to become addicted to chap stick. if you continually wear chap stick on your lips, your lips will stop producing moisture for your lips. so if you stop wearing chap stick, your lips will chap up and dry out. i'm totally addicted. i've been addicted for many years. my lips are unable to produce moisture without the aid of chapstick. crap. they've got me. its a conspiracy. dang it.
