Goldschlager and other mistakes...

I went to Metalsome at 10 High last night with Greg, Rich and Tuba. It started out innocently enough with dinner at the Vortex. Then we had a little pre-metalsome cheer and headed to 10 High. The place was half empty when we showed up at 10:15 but by 10:35 it was packed. I met some new people (Tommy the bouncer, Steve the p.e. teacher from Lawrenceville, Rich's friend Emily who I stupidly called Erin all night) and some old...Faisal's friend Suber and his friend Matt I had met at trivia last month. Metalsome was a great time as usual. You can scream at the top of your lungs and no one would know it. We witnessed one dude get up to do a song and then proceed to propose to his girlfriend on stage.

I started a new job last week. The job promises to be demanding and I may have bitten off more than I can chew. My role is somewhat undefined and my manager assigns new duties left and right. I wish I could fast forward six months or a year and have a better idea of what I'm in for.

The bathroom remodel rolls on. I've been through two and a half tubs of drywall mud. I've added three layers of mud. I finally have the sanding done and am ready to paint. I really should be painting right now. :)

I'm excited about Heather coming out at the end of August. Yay!

Bathroom remodel...still

The drywall saga in my bathroom continues. I took a wall out more than a month ago and every weekend, I do a little more work finishing the area. Last weekend, I cut all the drywall to fit the missing wall area. What a pain! It's one thing to hang a whole sheet of drywall. It's quite another to cut 4 inch strips to fit uneven walls. As you cut it, it crumbles and creates one heck of a mess. Then I discovered the board they used in my ceiling is 1/8 inch thinner than the drywall used in the walls. Ugh! I went ahead and put in the full 1/2 inch board up there. We'll see what happens. Worse case scenario, I rip it down and start over. So, the board is up, and I'm about to start the taping and mudding.

I spent the 4th of July on the Seymour's lovely boat. The Volkers, Jeremy, Beth and Kelly Bergman went also. We caught up with Randy and Chel and tied off to their boat. Laura, Brian and their boatload of party people showed up later. We swam, had mojitos and drove out to another spot on the lake to watch the fireworks. Jeremy picked me up at 11:15 that morning and I didn't get home until after midnight. I was exhausted but had a good time.

Last night, I went to dinner with one of my favorite sorority sisters, Autumn bo-bottom. She was visiting from Tampa and asked all her Atlanta friends to meet at Agnes & Muriel's for dinner. All her Atlanta friends went to Embry-Riddle in Daytona although I only knew Autumn when I was going to school. The food was delicious however, it was "Pride" weekend and the table full of 12 lesbians behind us were so loud, I could barely hear anyone talk. After dinner, I met Greg at Dan Sankar's house and had a few beers with them and Ashley and Jimmy. I forgot my leftovers in Dan's fridge. Aarrrghh!!!!
