~12-28-04~ Birthday dinner

bob took me to dinner for my birthday tonight. i was going to go to our favorite, the golden corral, but decided on the chinese buffet. i just love that place!! mom came over and watched clay, we were only gone for about an hour though. it was nice to actually get to sit in the smoking section for a change!


not much excitement today. the night seemed to go quickly and bob went to bed around 9, so all i did all night was sit here and check out wireless networking at best buy.

i figured it would be cheaper to go out and buy the stuff instead of paying the cable company for it every month. hell i may even be able to get better reception. plus i want some sort of hook up down here in the living room so i can hook up our xbox and playstation. i want to check out the online games. what i found seems pretty expensive, but then again i'm not sure what i am paying monthly to the cable company, and i am sure in the long run it will be cheaper to buy it outright. i got a best buy gift card for christmas and a good amount of money from my grandpa, so i may put it towards that. i guess that is like the only good thing about your birthday being the same time as christmas, much money at one time!! that is the only thing, i'll tell you!!

things i am loving recently:

i love me some bacon!!!! that shit is soooooooo good! i swear i could eat it 24/7. a few years back i was going through at least a pound of bacon a week....AT LEAST! and that was even when i was skinny!

i love, love, love that holiday spice pepsi. of course i do, cause it isn't going to be around much longer. figures!!!! it still doesn't beat that red fusion, which was the best pop ever made, so of course they quit making that a while ago! fuckers!!!!!

i forgot to mention another "present" that bob got me for christmas. i'll retype it verbtum, does that even apply to a written letter?!

Merry Christmas

Jen,

Merry Christmas!! I love you!! I was going to give in and get you a little kitten for christmas, but then i thought better of it!

I thought, "I don't like cats, they are messy, and they stink!!" so, i didn't get you one.

Also, I thought, "Why would I pick out a kitten for Jennifer?! Shouldn't she pick one out for herself?"

So, the following is my grant of permission for you to obtain a kitten with only a few stipulations..... IT must be a kittne, not a cat. It must be cute. You have to stop calling Casper, Spook and start calling him Casper. And finally, you have to give the new kitten a name with substance, i.e. NOT "baby kitty" or "little kitty" or something to that effect.

Merry Christmas!!
Love,
Bob

just so you all know, everytime he would ask what i wanted for christmas i told him a kitty. i don't actually want one per se, but i feel bad for spook, being all by his self. he needs a play mate and sibling!! notice i feel bad and want one for my cat, but not for my son, go figure! haha!!

spook is a black cat, bob thought it would be funny to name his casper. i thought since he was a black cat, it was spooky, like halloween, so i call him spook.

as for the part about naming the kitten. i have a hard time with names, i want them to be meaningful, and relevant.......but it is hard, so i have had momma kitty, boy kitty, and bitch kitty. yes those were their REAL names!!!!! and they fit!!!!!

i don't know about the whole kitten thing though. i hate, hate, HATE small animals around children! i cringe just thinking about the whole thing. it makes me nervous!! i know clay will be ALL OVER it!! squeezing it, sitting on it, trying to carry it everywhere and picking it up, UGH!!!!.......i'll just be a wreck, so it may not be a good idea!!!! so i am not so sure yet if it is really going to happen or not.

oh well, i think that is all for now. catch ya later!!
