Part two

I bought myself a new plant today. It’s another little succulent. I saw it while I was at Walmart and couldn’t help but pick it up. I found it in the “distressed plants” isle. “Distressed plants” in Walmart’s world mean “plants we’ve decided not to water anymore”. In an effort to save this little baby, I’m practically drowning it in love.

Pictures

Our extraordinarily short vacation to Put-in-bay:



Our first night around the hotel.


Enjoying the hotel pool.




6 AM the next morning. I have no fucking idea why we tried to get up so early.


Once we were up and awake.


Our kickass petrol powered Betty Bop. It went all of about 15 miles an hour.


A quiet little spot we found.


Lunch at our spot.


Then sleep (after sleep came sunburns, but I don’t have very good pictures of our lobster-ness).


Glamour beach shots.


Playing around in gifts shops.


Perry’s monument spike thingy.


The end of the day.


And the next morning on my way back to work.

This morning I took Geoff to the airport. He left for Singapore and won’t be back for a whole month.

I cried.

It’ll be good though. He’ll be able to get his knee fixed up, he’ll get a chance to be at his best friends wedding, and he’ll get time with his family. But in the mean time, I’m alone. And it just so happens to be a year to the day when we left together for Singapore and Malaysia.

In the sprit of the holiday-- some pictures.

Roti and 100 plus at 4am.


Iced Milo.


Tioman.




And I miss this guy.


I don't miss this sunburn.


And I don't miss the debilitating fear of diving.

I’m going through a period of DVD separation anxiety.

A certain relation of mine, Silas (think the monk in the Da Vinci Code—if for some unimaginable reason you saw that crap movie), has stolen all of my DVD’s except for some mangled copy of Troy. This has gone on for almost a week and a half and I cannot live on TV alone any longer! …because I threw away Troy as soon as I realized I had it.

Gawd.

If this goes on any longer I might have to start reading a book.

Free images?

Does anyone know of where I can get some simple stock images to use in an advertisement? I know I can't use just anything I happen across because people own the images they create, etc, blah, blah, blah, but I need some drawings... or something.

I have to make an advertisement about my hotel to put in the local theater's handout. Our old advertisement was pretty simple with a little line drawing of theater masks and swirly lines that said-- "Supporting the Arts in Our Community". It was fine and all, but it needs an update.

Somebody hook a sister up with some free clip art!

So… the tooth pulling-surgery-from-hell is over. And it has been documented.

Enjoy my pain.

I wrote this on my hand before I went in.

“Good Luck! (Please be careful with me. I like me). Thanks!”


I haven’t checked the rest of my body yet to see if anyone wrote me a response.





Then, during my codeine induced nauseated yucky-ness, I spied a stranger peeing in the bushes behind the apartment.

And I took a picture.





And here I am now-- three days later with no feeling in my bottom lip, throby everything and poofy cheeks.



I’m going to go gum some applesauce, now.
