Reason #683 That I'm An Asshole

Earlier this week my dear friend Frannie called me to tell me he'd be in Colorado this Wednesday. The last two times he was in town, I was out of town on interviews, but this time I was in town, and we made tentative plans to meet for some dinner and a long overdue catch-up. This week was my last week of classes. Ever. Well, not ever, there's still The Plan, but yesterday I took my final engineering class. In addition to finishing up classes, I have a stack of work to get done by Monday to finish up the semester. That is to say, this week I've been toiling away in a sweatshop of my own making to finish up my degree. Finally. Now I'm not offering this as an excuse for what happened, because as far as excuses go, this is truly scraping the bottom of the barrel. But I forgot he was coming until about 10:30 last night. I was mopping my kitchen. Trying to squeeze some chores into my overly packed week so as to not devolve into a life filled with trash and squalor. I was standing in my kitchen, singing along with George Michael, wet socks, mop in hand, when I remembered my friend Frannie. So please, Dear FranMan, consider this, mea maxima culpa, my sincerest of apologies. I'm sorry I'm such a dillweed.

Cheeseburger!

Mmmmmm. Big Jim (Ancho) Chili's and tomato from my parents garden, grilled onion, lettuce and cheddar. My friend Frannie came to visit, and all of the other pictures I took were overexposed, but at least I got this photo of dinner. I'll see if I can mess with one of the pics and salvage it, I know Frannie was excited about his Maiden Metallurgist debut!

That's Right, More Hotness

Delightful.

Such an Exciting Life

I am finally all set in my apartment, except for the hanging of my picture frames, and I decided it might be time to switch things up a bit. I have been looking through pics on my computer, and I came across this: Which pretty much speaks for itself, don't you think?

Dear Frannie...

Dear Frannie, As I keep telling you, my digital camera bit the bag. As I hate posting without pictures I have postponed updating until the new camera arrives, which will be in 2-5 business days. Yes I have a lot to catch you up on, including but not limited to: Graduation 5/12/06 (Yes, I am finally graduating) My fantastic new apartment My excellent new job A rather anticlimactic foot surgery (at least the cast is off!) and finally The complete mind-fuck that I have been a party to this last week perpetrated by my lame ex-boyfriend. So please stop reminding me that I have to update. I will. Oh, I guess I just did.

Check out this hotness

My friend Frannie is having this work done, I was surprised, but I'm loving it.

Cocktails?
