Hey guys, Wizzer died this morning/last night. I woke up to go to work and showered, then came out to the living room to look up the number for the pet boarding place because I'm visiting Eric next week. I looked over at him and he didn't seem to be breathing, so I shook the cage and nothing. I took him and Snoopy to the vet, and Snoopy seems to be fine. They're doing a necropsy on Wizzer to determine cause of death and to make sure its not contagious. I'm not going to Petsmart this morning because I'm too upset, but I promised Julie I'd work at the yarn store today so she could leave early, so I'm still going to do that because if I don't she'll have to close the store.
Eric is incredibly upset. This was his first pet and you know how much he loved Wizzer. I'll update later when I know what happened.

Latest knitting project
Tada!!!
He's from Debbie Bliss Knitted Toys. I was gonna give him to Eric's friend's baby, but he's just too cute, so I think I'm gonna keep him.

Update
Hey girlies! Long time, no hear. Anyway, I know that not having access to the internet for a couple of days is not an excuse...but...well, I am sorry. So, how were both of your holidays? I hope you both enjoyed them just as much as I did.
So, I went home for the 4th to celebrate my sister's b-day. We went to Disney World. I had a great time. Stephie and I were able to visit all of the parks including Animal Kingdom, which isn't half bad. On our last day in Orlando, we went to Epcot, which would not have been much fun had we not scoped out the shop at Japan. On top of everything that we did, we went to a place recommended by Rachel Ray...the Colorado Fondue Company (my mom is a huge fan of Rachel Ray). As for my critique of the restaurant - Melting Pot is much, much better. So, that is my week home in a nutshell.
As for my mom, she is handling chemo really well, except for the fact that her stomach hurts. She is still incredibly skinny (i.e.- 80 pounds), but she's been able to eat a lot more. She's definitely hanging in there. On a similar note, I have faith that your (Katie's) grandfather will pull through the surgery.
As for everything else going on in my life, not much has changed. I will be going home again, for two weeks, on August 5th. I am excited to take a break from work and dc...its about damn time (believe me, one week home is not enough).
Today I am going swimming again at Mrs. Kennedy's house. It should be fun. Well, I will post later with more interesting things to talk about, but I thought I should give you both a brief update on my happenings.
P.S. Today will be my 3rd time restarting my dress....what can I say...I'm a perfectionist.

Dumbass.

Also, we got a comment the other day on one of Jen's posts. Who is that guy? Do we have a fan? An admirer? Cause that would be awesome.
Damn I am hungry "like bear" (read A Dirty Job, its great) and the woman sitting next to me at the airport is eating a BAG FULL of Krispy Kreme donuts...Bitch.
More later.
See you soon Katie!!!

Vacation in 3,2,1....
BLASTOFF!!!!
Yes, that's right va-cay. No more joking around. I literally couldn't be happier. I'm almost ready to go, but its still a bit frantic in my room. I'm also trying to finish a book I'm reading so that I don't have to lug another one on the plane.
I'm so excited! Also I decided to make a separate blog site just for me. That way this one can just be about us girlies and any other random crap that I feel like typing out will be up on the other site. I want to keep this one pure and lately I feel like I've been dumping all my useless thoughts on the Girls blog. Its not just about me. I was being a selfish flake and I apologize to my fellow blog-sisters.
You know what I was thinking about today? Siblings. Jen, you have your darling little sis' who if she gets any cuter will have to be taken out for the betterment of us all. Katie, you have an awesome little bro' with your wicked sense of humor. I unfortunately am the last of my namesake. That's right there will never be another "insert last name here" (lets keep some things confidential, right?). My father had 3 brothers. His older brother is only his half brother, and doesn't share his last name. His younger brother is a hermit, who lives with his wife all tucked away where no one can find him. He would be a difficult father, especially since it seems like he is always growing some sort of illegal plant material...cough cough...The baby of the family was gay. So well you do the math. I am the end of the line. My Grandfather's name dies with me, or rather my marriage, if that ever happens. I know this is silly but I was thinking about my kids. If and when, I ever become a happy mom (cue imagery of mini-vans (a hybrid mini-van) and soccer balls) with Ralph my kids will be without aunts and uncles. He is also an only child. I mean I have a large family and Ralph's family is enormous (Catholic...oy!) so its not like there won't be family, but no actual aunts and uncles.
So I've decided. I'm adopting some. Namely you ladies. Keep in mind that I already realize you will have "actual" nieces and nephews, but I've decided and you know how that goes. So you bitches better deal with it. We're family. Our little apt. together was a home. A place where your heart is. And no matter what blood lines we make through marriage or are born into, you ladies are family. No if, ands, or buts.
Alright well I'll give you time to mull this over. And deal with the acceptance.
Amanda
PS How cool is it that Ralph's best friend is a girl? And she's getting married and he's going to be her "Best Person"? Also he's decided to throw her a party (I still can't get him to call it a bachelorette party, but I'm working on it)? My boyfriend is too cute.

A Response
After having read Manda's blog, my hatred toward Elliot has turned into "slightly less" hatred (more like an ill will if I had to name it). I am starting to realize that he was a big part of your life...and probably contributed a bit to who you are...So, I no longer hate him (but, don't ever expect me to be friends with him...as I have said before, you are much bigger than I).
I have never said this before, but do you think things would have been different had we found an apartment together? Or, is this all fate? Maybe it was good that you and Elliot had not worked things out (don't get me wrong), otherwise you would have never found your third love. Ralph is much better.
I don't think you are a slut for having three loves...it adds to experience. You learn from previous relationships and realize how to make your current one better. Maybe having loved before allows you to realize what real love is. Who knows? I think it is great that you have loved twice before, because unlike others, you are able to reflect positively on each. It definitely shows how you've matured and grown. It makes you...you. Besides, the third time is the charm (sorry, i didn't mean to jinx you).
As for Katie, relationships are a two way street. I know that Eric needs to be more thoughtful and actually do something romantic, but you might have to make the first move. I mean...Eric is oblivious (no offense). Give him a push in the right direction...and I am sure he will know how to take it from there. Also, Eric is probably incredibly stressed and can't think of much else at the moment. I know this isn't much of an excuse, but from personal experience, I know that school work has gotten in the way of Jen and Kebby time (one too many times). I know, I know...the nickname is mushy, but that's how Kevin's niece and nephew say his name. I think if you start doing things that are incredibly thoughtful/romantic (not that you haven't), he will get the hint. I mean he does go to Cornell (he's gotta be smart, right?).
As I've said before, we are all lucky to be in love...and with every love, we need to do our part.
On an entirely different note...I got totally buzzed off of 1/4 of a long island. Sad isn't it? I miss those days when Manda and I drank straight from a tequila bottle.
Much love,
Jen
