It's about time!

I finally got an apology from Elliot!!!

Last week he was at the same poker game I went to, at my friend Jim’s house. Shortly after I got there, while we were waiting for our final player, he asked me about his CDs. To which I replied, “You will get them back as soon as I get an apology.” His reply to that was simply, “Well then,” and that was the end of the conversation—no apology offered. After much deliberation, I finally decided to send him an e-mail telling him exactly what happened that night, just in case he didn’t realize just how terrible he had behaved. I was very nice in it, just laid out the details of the evening--I even had a friend read over it to make sure I didn’t sound too accusatory or bitchy in it.

Sure enough, he had no idea of how things ended that night. Today I received an extremely nice, very apologetic e-mail from him. And it seemed to be very sincere. He admitted to not being in his right mind that night, that there was absolutely no excuse for his behavior, and that he felt terrible that I suffered any injuries because of him.

So, even though he didn’t specifically admit that he was drunk that evening, I will accept that. I will return his CDs to him and all of this can finally be put behind us.

Winter is here!

It is all white and fluffy here!!! :) And completely gorgeous! Overnight we got at least a foot of snow, likely more. Unfortunately though I don't have a yardstick to really be able to measure it. There is so much of it that it made snow drifts, so against the buildings there are places where it has to be two or more feet deep!

I let Baci out this morning and it was the funniest damn thing I think I have ever seen in my life! It is well over her head, and every step/jump she took she just sunk deeper. I put her little cow-spotted coat on her, so all you could see was this tiny little black head and the occasional black spot from the coat. It was so cute and I was laughing out loud the entire time she was out. I had put some tiny boot on her also, but even though they would likely fit a preemie baby, they were still too big for her, so at this time they are lost in the depths, to be found only after the snow melts. She absolutely loves the snow, always has, so this is heaven to her. I had to practically drag her back in the house! With any luck I will be able to get some pictures a little later on today!

Well, I am off to get dressed (I'm in a bathrobe you pervs!) and go out and build a snowman or two!!! :)

Just an update!

What a grueling two weeks! I was in class these past two weeks, one week for lead and the other for asbestos. Truly, I don’t think I could have been more miserable. The lead class was rough because they tossed in a bunch of wanna-be realtors with us, and they were no where near the same level concerning lead as those of us who work in safety and health. Every single thing that the instructor said had to be repeated LITERALLY ten or more times! I finally got to the point where I now believe that yes, there IS such a thing as a stupid question. There was one time where the instructor was talking about “two years.” After repeating and rephrasing himself as many times as he could, he changed “two years” to “24 months” to see if the others in class could comprehend that. To which a guy in the back of the class yelled angrily, “I thought you just said it was two years!” Yes, that is the kind of people I had to deal with. The second class wasn’t so bad; except for I had to have Elliott (see previous post) in there with me for two days, actually sitting next to me one day. Can you believe the ass still didn’t apologize for his behavior? Oh well, I have a bunch of new CDs now, so I am not going to complain.

Luckily though, I had a good weekend to finish things up. My nephew’s birthday was this past weekend, so I went home to WV to celebrate with him. He is two now and so cute! I decided to stay through until Monday so I could watch the Super Bowl with my family, so we had his party on Sunday to coincide with it. And what a party! We had more food than we could ever have hoped to eat, with plenty of beer (for the game, not the 2-year old’s birthday--what kind of person do you think I am?) and soda to wash it down. I was so stuffed that it was all I could do to not fall into food coma during the game! It was a fun party and I was so thrilled to see my Steelers win! :)

I finished out the trip with lunch on Monday with my sisters and two friends, Carla and Tricia. It is always so great to see everyone, but still so sad when I have to say goodbye. People say that in time, it will get easier, but I think I will always miss living so near everyone. Then it was back off the B-more for me and Baci! Poor thing—at one point early in the trip I had to slam on the brakes, which threw her around pretty hard. Now, she has her own seat belt, so she didn’t get hurt, but that didn’t stop her from getting ticked! She would hardly look at me the entire ride home! At first when she kept her nose stuck in the corner, I was afraid that she had got hurt, so I pulled into a rest area to check her over. But, she was fine, just mad—such an expressive little dog!

Hope everyone else had a great weekend as well!
