We went to our church's annual Valentine's Day dance last night. I almost thought I couldn't go becasue of this weird eczema thing that popped up on my neck...thank God for drugs and doctors! I actually got through the night without having a drink too. My social anxiety didn't show it's ugly face last night, which was awesome (maybe I'm growing out of it? ) The dj did a great job...we danced most of the night after dinner. I couldn't ask for a better dance partner than Billy. We also finally got to meet Brotha Buck and his wife officially. He was actually my blog buddy before I realized we went to the same church. I only met him there once, briefly after church, but we never got to talk. I learned his real name and realized how closely he and his wife resemble his comics...he's a great artist and writer. Anyway, Billy and I didn't go to bed until about 2 a.m., so this morning has been slow...and nice.
But now it's time to get to Saturdayin'...
I have about 15 more minutes before I get up to start cleaning my house. I've already read a couple of chapters of Waiting to Exhale, had breakfast, watched 106 and Park Freestyle Friday re-run and a couple of episodes of Wild 'N Out. I'm having coffee and was about to watch Mad Hot Ballroom again, but I have to get some housework done. Today is the day for Stella and Okie to get their asses washed too. If I get enough done today maybe I can start painting my dining room, which has been taped off for a whole week now--I was going to paint last week while Billy was in Japan, but got sick before I could start. I'll share before and afters when I'm done.
Totally unrelated tasty bit: I discovered The Dog Whisperer blog! SCORE! I'm gonna ask for advice on how to get my huge 80 pound dogs to stop rushing people when they come into the house.
It was great to see ya'll last night, though, I probably wasn't so talkative. But that's just me. I put a photo up, and I can email a larger one, too, if you'd like!

--"Today is the day for Stella and Okie to get their asses washed too."
is it just me, or did that come out of nowhere?
glad you had a great time at the dance. that's very sweet and special that you and billy do those types of things.

I heard the dog whisperer on NPR a few weeks ago- it was so interesting to hear his view on training dogs- now I need to check out his blog to see if I can get mine to stop digging holes everywhere!

@Buck-Great seeing you guys too. No need to email the pic to me...I bootlegged it off your blog.
@Summer- That's our term for bath time for the dogs around here. When it's time we announce, "It's time to get your asses washed!" and they get all excited. Next time I'll preface...
@Jennifer- Have you seen is show? He's like a miracle worker. That shushing sound he makes really works to get dogs' attention when you're trying to correct them.
Good luck with stopping the digging!
