It's Friday, I won a little bit of money playing poker, I've ripped almost all of mine and Steven's CDs into mp3 tracks, I got a cool new bracelet, I have all the makings for raspberry pina coladas, Jeanna should be over soon, and Harry Potter shall soon be mine.

Fridays rock!

I dropped Steven off at the airport this morning so he could go to Boston for a business trip. I was originally going to go, but since he has class all day and then dinners and receptions at night that significant others can't attend, I figured I'd just stay home.

He called this afternoon from his swanky hotel, Nine Zero, and I realized how much I miss him already. Sappy, huh? This is the first trip, though, that he's taken in almost five years without me, so it's a bit strange to be home alone.

Since he isn't here, I'd thought I'd add another family member to make the household the same number and bought another beta at lunch time (I now have four of them). He's really pretty with lots of pinkish-red coloring shot through with shimmery blue. I'll have to try and do a good picture of him later.

The good news, though, is my best friend Jeanna is coming over tomorrow night to spend the whole weekend with me. We already know that we're going to a midnight sale of Harry Potter tomorrow night and then getting pedicures and checking out this jewelry store that's going out of business on Saturday, but that's all we've got planned so far. I think we'll hit Chinese Cafe for dinner Saturday night which will be delicious as always and since Jeanna's never been there before, it'll really be a treat.

I expect lots of raspberry pina coladas will be drunk, lots of movies will be seen, and an incredible time will be held for all.

I guess if you've don't get to go on a trip, the least you can do is have your best friend stay with you!

I'm going to start Burn It - The Summer Edition (follow up to Burn It - The Spring Edition) in about two or three weeks, so if you want to be notified when it's time to sign up, send me an e-mail (it's over in the sidebar).

Hopefully this will help cut down on the people who missed sign ups last time.

The CDs that I got were really great, so be sure and sign up this time. The theme is going to be great!

Every Wednesday those who are involved in a relationship with somebody share a few (simple but significant) reasons for their love. Please keep in mind that this does not have to be a romantic relationship. It can be about a parent, a sibling, a friend, a co-worker, your kid, your dog, whatever.

Stop in here to join the notify list, see who else has left their reasons, and to be added to the blogroll. Also, feel free to save the button below to your server and link it to http://www.neuroticfishbowl.com/reasons.html

I love my cat Isabella because...

• She's the cutest cat in the world. I could just eat her little tufted paws up.
• She loves to cuddle and when I put her on the bed she starts purring immediately.
• She's really a sweet kitty.
• She's so fun to watch when she plays with her mouse or climbs in and out of a paper bag.
• Steven really loves her and it makes me happy to see the two of them together.

I bet everyone was thinking I was dead since I haven't posted since last Thursday (the longest break since I started blogging), but it appears I am still alive.

Last Friday we had friends come over for dinner, so in between getting home from work a bit later than I wanted to, working on a project I wanted to get finished, and getting ready for people to come over, I just never got around to posting. We had a wonderful dinner of Steven's homemade lasagna and then decided to go see The Matrix: Reloaded.

Steven and I had seen it on opening day and I had liked it, but I was disappointed in it. The more, though, I pondered the movie, the more I began to like it and I really enjoyed seeing it the second time. When we got home we watched The Animatrix. It totally rocked (with the exception of the last story) and answered a question that had been bothering me since we saw The Matrix: Reloaded the first time.

Saturday saw more project work and we then met Steven's parents and brother for dinner at Carrabba's. The food was delicious, as always, and we had a great time.

I was going to blog Sunday only to find out that a double server move made it where I couldn't. Luckily that was fixed with no big problems and The Neurotic Fishbowl came back online.

Yesterday was spent wrapping up that project I mentioned and then topped off with a nap about 9:00.

Which brings us to today. I'm a bit pissy since Aunt Flow is about to make her monthly visit, soI haven't had a whole lot to say. I just wanted to let everyone know I'm still alive.

Jeanna's coming over Friday night to spend the weekend, so I've got something good to look forward to soon!
