i'm forced to fake a smile a laugh everyday of my life

funny story - yesterday after coming home from swimming at taylor and erin's, we took a shower then i got the laundry out of the drier. for the next 30 minutes or longer i hear token crying. he does this occasionally for no reason but not normally for this long. plus it sounded kinda muffled like he was in another room. i yell to lincoln who is in the bedroom watching tv "do you hear token? why is he crying?" thinking that maybe he was locked in the bathroom or closet. two places he likes to sneak into and hide.

well the meowing continues for a bit. i notice rufus is sitting in the kitchen staring at the fridge. so i go into the kitchen and i hear token. first thought was somehow he got locked in the fridge. but luckily, no. then i thought well maybe he is in the stinky box taking a stinky. and just being vocal about it. but no. but the crying is a little bit louder in the laundry room/stinky box room.

somehow the little gremlin got locked in the dryer. both he and rufus like to hop in there when i switch clothes but i always kick them out before i close the door and start it. good thing that i was only taking clothes out and not putting them in. i just might've "dried" the kitty to death. egad, don't even wanna think about it!

token's new name (we call him token, tokie, rokie, roker, al roker, gremlin, little one, the baby, etc...) is cricket. isn't that a cute name for a kitty? he hops around the bed like a cricket and then gets all comfy and purrs really loud. the purr doesn't sound like a cricket really. but i still think it's cute.

home news -

we went by the models to see the final product yesterday. i love how they decorate. not always a fan of the oddball wall paper or paint schemes they do but i love the couches, beds, tables, and especially the curtains. well we spoke with one of the sales ladies. she said that our model will be ready for permitting in a couple of weeks. which is a couple of weeks ahead of schedule (ours more than theirs) which means we will need to really tighten the purse strings for the next two months.

as excited as i am about having this house built, it makes me a stress case. i can't stop thinking about a gazillion things. plus this sales lady we talked to can be a bit confusing so i had to email the other one for clarification. haven't heard back yet...

other stuff -

went to brian and judy's house for a little gathering saturday night. had a smashing good time, meaning linc and i got smashed. pepsi and vanilla vodka is soooo good. that is so 3 years ago but i love it. and since i barely started drinking soda again in the past few months, it really hit the spot. although i have to say that jager shot did not taste good whatsoever. i remember when i could slam those suckers like nobody's business. i guess i am getting a wee bit old. and i think linc learned his lesson that not only should he not drink that many beers in one sitting, but that he should not mix three liquors in one shot/drink if he wants to not be pukey mcpukerson.

thanks brian and judy for letting us crash.

anywhoo - i guess that is all for today kids.

love.
