Ignignokt and the Best Week Ever.

So yes. This has been a great week. Nearly ending up frozen like Jack Nicholson at the end of The Shining aside, that is. I'm hoping that when I head back to the Mo' on monday, the heat will not be broken again. But that's next week technically, and that can't ruin this week.

So let's see. I went to the Bruce Hornsby/Ricky Skaggs show at the CAC. I grew up listening to both, and to see them play together, and bluegrass to boot, that was an experience. I really really had a great time. Here they are playing Super Freak, bc you need to share in this hilarious experience with me.

I went with mom to charleston today with the main purpose of picking up my bridesmaid dress for Kellie Marie's wedding. That successfully completed, mom and I did what we do best together... shopping. I bought myself one thing. A dress. Yes, you heard that correctly, andrea bought a dress. I really like the dress. I mean I suppose that would be obvious or why would I buy it. But it is a comfortable, Goal #55 wear on an casual everyday type basis dress. so woopie! for that. Calypso, however, made out like a bandit. I had a theory that if I bought her chew toys and bones that were entirely too big for her, then she'd be entertained by those and not eat things like my shoes and furniture (she recently ate my donut chair. we are not pleased.) . She got a cute new blue jacket bc yes, it's official, i've turned into mom with the dressing up the animals. however, when we got home she was limping around and we have no idea what she did to hurt herself, so I won't torture her with teh jacket yet. But as soon as she's walking correctly, there will be photographic evidence for your enjoyment.

and I got to have lunch with shainna and momma sticklen which is always a good time. Quaker Steak and Lube (I know you just laughed in your head at the word "Lube." It's ok, I did too.) has delicious food and tacky photo opportunities, so clearly I had a good time. It was good to see my Person as I am still not quite used to not being able to slink over to her apartment on sunday afternoons and watch ABC Family movies and eat cake waffles.

also, bc the interwebz needs to know all my business, i've officially cannon-balled my way back into the dating pool. It's been a very long time since I've been out on a real date, and I was terrified. But, it is proving to be a really fun. Holy crap, did I really just say that, I sound like a loser. Forgive me, but it's been awhile since I've been treated like a girl. haha.

and, to top the week off, the brother dear finally handed down his Mooninites t-shirt. I love Ignignokt and Err. When I couldn't sleep my junior year in undergrad, I would watch episode after episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force. and my favorites were the ones with the mooninites. The moon rulez. #1.

I've been working diligently on my craft project. When I finish it I will take a photo so you can see what I've been working on. Actually, I have to mail it to the recepient first, and then you can see it. But I'm proud of the work I've put into it.

So thats my best week. I guess maybe it might not seem like much of anything to most people, but it honestly has been really really great. It's not often I feel so upbeat in the winter, bc usually this time of year I get really down. But not so far, knock on wood. So far I'm feeling pretty damn good. And if next week suddenly bombs, well, that will be ok, bc this one was good enough for two.
