We got a kitten yesterday. He's a rescue cat and he's totally adorable. We named him Lord Darth Vader, after Phil's favourite tragic character of all time. He even has a little mask of sorts. We're totally obssessed with him; neither of us ever had a pet growing up so it's fun. I didn't sleep too well because he kept curling up in the strangest (and warmest!) places; on my head, my neck, my armpit even my crotch! It was really endearing but I'm totally exhausted.
Check out he video we did when we got him home. (that's me talking... i sound so retarded.... *eesh*). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lE3tgeTONcA
An incident at work yesterday had to be the most intersting bit ever to happen there... at least to me anyway. I was talking with my Trainee about nothing in particular when two women poked into the store and asked if we had served a customer recently. The mall, having been completely deserted, was dead beyond dead. We said no and they proceeded to say that some guy just stole a bottle of wine off our little cart in the doorway. I looked out our side door, saw him turn the corner and instructed Trainee to call security, I then proceeded to run after him.
Now some of you might think this was a stupid idea and I could have no way of knowing if he was the desperate sort, but I just ran after him without thinking. Now I come up about 10 feet behind him and shout "Hey Asshole!" (why, i don't know...) and he stops and turns around. This is the short conversation that ensued:
me: gimme that!
him: hands it over looking totally depressed
me: come with me!
him: no, i'm not going to jail for this
me: then why did you do it?
him: 'cause i have issues
He then walked away and I went back to the store (probably not a good idea to turn my back on him. there wasn't a soul around and we were near a loading dock on the side of the mall... you could easily hide a body there *shudder*) triumphantly holding my bottle of wine. After much thought about this little "adventure", I have come to realize that I should have never run after him in the first place and that putting my life in even the tiniest amount of danger isn't worth the $15 bottle I managed to recover.....
Today's our first anniversary! I can't believe it's been that long already... damn, does time fly or what? We haven't planned anything romantic like going out or anything because we're both working and my parents can't lend us the car... but we'll manage something.
The first anniversary is paper and being completely broke, except for a measly 20 dollars, I bought him the poster he wanted at Christmas and put that one, as well as all his other Star Wars posters, up on the wall in the office. He's been meaning to do it for a year, but never had that time. I’m pretty clever, huh?
later
Phil really enjoyed the poster thing; it's all part of his plan to convert the office into a "gaming room". I suppose I'll have to let him do just that eventually.....We decided to order in some Swiss Chalet for dinner. Yum. Is it me or did the chicken always taste this salty? The order also came with strawberry cheese cake. Evil thing of the world but soooooo goooood; I had two pieces! But then I remembered that you're supposed to have a piece of your wedding cake on your anniversary so I had to get that out too. It wasn't really pretty; the whole round cake in the cardboard box, sitting on the top shelf of the freezer for a year... yeah it had gone a little stale but we each had a mini bite for the sake of posterity. Then I tossed it... LOL It was great evening spent with my honey and to the coming years, a toast to us! *clink* *clink* *hic*
