366 days

yesterday was josh and my one-year anniversary. i can't believe it's been a whole year of marriage already. it didn't seem wierd, or even special really. it just felt.. normal. in my defense, we did date for three years before we got married. although i know some have gone longer (*cough* tree...) for those who don't know me, tree is a person... not a plant.

after josh got off of work, we went to ft. wayne to celebrate. we ate at the olive garden, and for the first time, we were able to say, "yes!" to the free wine samples. she didn't even card us, just asked if we were old enough. but we ended up ordering raspberry lemonade (virgin).

after dinner, which i didn't really like mine by the way (only get the parmesian chicken if you really really really like strong parmesian) but that's ok because then the waitress took it off the bill (wow, they give you free alcohol and food too, if you don't like it!) we went and saw the movie, Troy. the movie was really good... with the small exception of the acting ability of one particular actor: brad pitt. maybe i'm being unfair, maybe i just have preconceived notions about him as an actor and therefore could not properly place him in the role he was playing. but during the movie, i kept getting distracted and pulled from the experience because it seemed brad pitt wasn't playing achilles, he was playing himself. he was playing Pouty-Faced Bad Boy Who Gets To Walk Around Naked And Sleep With All The Girls Cuz I'm So Hot. i know, i know... that's achilles! but! pitt didn't have the right persona for that age, i didn't think. he's just not one who transcends theatrical history very well. don't get me wrong, i like him as an actor - loved fight club - but this movie would have been better if they would have gone with talent over name. orlando was awesome. whoever played hector was unbelievable. sorry, i didn't stay for the credits to find out names of actors. the movie got out at 12:15, and i had to get up at 5:30 to go to work!

so, we came back to our humble little apartment, where paul was sleeping on the couch, and went straight to bed - we'll have to fulfill that stale-cake-tradition tonight.

we might have a cook-out tonight! if it doesn't rain and get everything all soggy. all the foso guys who are here for the summer will come, i believe. if you're in the area, stop on by! (don't know what time...) if you don't know where i live, then i probably don't know you, in which case, please don't come. if i do know you and you don't know where i live, then you'll know who to ask to find out, won't you? it's BYOM (bring your own meat) except i think joel's bringing a bunch of hamburger...

anyway, i should get to work. anytime one of the housekeepers walks by, they give me dirty looks cuz they're working and i'm NOT. :-D

remind me to talk about the new guy i had to train. that's a blog in itself.

bye!
