Arrests and Review and Kitty Quirks, Oh my!
Early this morning I had a dream that I'd been arrested for something. I wasn't in a jail, though. They kept moving me from large warehouse-type building to warehouse-type building. I kept escaping, and they kept finding me and bringing me back. I still have no idea what I did to get arrested.
Huh.

Thanks for all the good thoughts for my husband yesterday. The situation was not as we originally perceived it. He didn't get as big of a raise as I was hoping for, but every little bit helps. And hopefully in a year, he will get the BIG promotion and the BIG raise and everything will pay off. So, YAY!
I saw him for about three minutes between when I got home from work and when he left for his review. Of course, I only "saw" him. He was on the phone. It was neat. Then, he didn't get home until after 11 pm. I guess his manager is quite the talker. So, I saw him for a grand total of about 25 minutes yesterday. Then I fell asleep. Because I was tired. Hopefully tonight I'll be able to see him for a bit longer.

I seriously want to set up our video camera in an inconspicuous place to have it tape Az as she plays in the water bowls. It's freaking hilarious, and yet somewhat annoying, as she gets water EVERYWHERE, and we have to refill her bowls constantly. (Unless you're a mean mommy like I am, and you don't refill her bowl because you're tired of completely cleaning up their food mat three days in a row, and you figure if she's really thirsty she can drink out of the faucet in the bathroom sink like she always does.)
I'm still not sure if she just doesn't WANT the water to be in her bowl, or if she's just fascinated by it, or what. All I know is that she stands by the food and water bowls, sticks a paw into the water bowl and shakes it so it goes everywhere. She basically scoops all the water out of the bowls with her paw. Damn, that cat has a lot of quirks.
Ya know what one of Callie's quirks is? Hanging out in the dryer. I had the door to the dryer open last night while I was taking things out and folding them, and she just crawled in there, sat down for a minute and looked at me, and then laid down like the pretty princess she is. On top of all the white freshly washed sheets and clothes. Nice kitty! She just laid there the whole time I was taking things out, even when I was pulling stuff out from under her. Eventually, the dryer was empty, and she looked a bit sad. I ended up having to drag her out of there so I could put the next load in. Silly cat!
(And no, I have yet to close the door and turn the dryer on. Even for a second. (Honey, that doesn't mean that you should try it.))
Hi. I'm obsessed with parentheses. Please help me.
Oh, and wish the husband and I luck for Saturday night. We're playing in a Texas Hold 'Em Tournament held by a friend of his from college. There are supposed to be at least two games, 27 participants, $25 buy-in for each game. Top six finishers get paid.
I haven't played poker since I was like...13? Probably during one of our Family Poker Nights. (My parents ROCK. They give us porn these days (Playboy), and started us off gambling early.) I wanted to set up a small game to practice not showing "tells" and practice my bluffing, but we never did. Someone couldn't pick a date.
I think he's just afraid of picking dates because he doesn't like committing to things. Or something. I have no clue. All I know is that I'd like him to pick a date for us to go to Chicago. *ahem* Hear that honey? Talk to your friends. Find out when is good for them. Sometime this fall/winter preferably.
Righty-o. Could I possibly go off on any more tangents? I assume that I could. So I'll shut up now.
