This, that and the other

You know what is really just too awesome for words? What is too awesome for words is getting drunken text messages from one of your Friends On The Intarweb. But there's something even more awesome than that, and that is having the drunken text message followed by a drunken phone call from the same person. It really livens up a boring Saturday night at home, I have to say.

I made this mac and cheese recipe tonight for dinner. First of all, it makes a metric butt-ton of mac and cheese. Secondly, it is freakin' good. But next time I think I'm going to make it with sharp cheddar and a smidge less Dijon mustard. But it's creamy and saucy and amazingly low in Points considering how much we got to eat of it. 1 1/2 cups is actually a lot of macaroni and cheese, you know? So those of you who are looking for comfort food that doesn't cause your jeans to stop being comfortable, give it a try.

Okay, my nose is driving me nuts tonight. I don't know if I ate something tonight that I'm oddly allergic to or what, but my nose feels like my sinuses are twitching inside. I'm sitting here trying to type and I keep thinking I must look like Samantha Stevens trying to twitch away her nosy neighbor. I'm sure that it'll look great for me to go to work tomorrow and constantly be rubbing my nose.

Speaking of work, I basically spent all day arguing with people today, which is always a good time. At one point my boss and I were discussing yet another corporate procedure that really is entirely lame in its stupidity, and he was bitching at me about it. I finally just threw my hands up and told him that it wasn't my policy and I couldn't change it so no more bitching at me because it wasn't in my job description. Luckily, he was in a good enough mood that he didn't mind me giving him a healthy dose of crap.

Today I stopped by PetSmart to pick up some cat litter only to find out that there had been some crazy, tragic accident at their distribution center so there hadn't been any deliveries lately. When the friendly store lady told me that, I had a sudden image of someone losing a hand or a foot or some other limb in a tragic accident involving packages of pine bedding and dog food. I got over that visual pretty quickly because what really mattered was that there was no more Swheat Scoop on the shelves. There was another woman standing there looking for the same thing, so we asked the woman what we could get that was similar to our beloved Swheat Scoop, the litter made from wheat that conquers all odors and clumps like you wouldn't believe. It is awesome despite its stupid, stupid name.

Well, we had two options. One was a gigantic bag of something that cost like $25. The other was the Nature's Miracle litter, which was a lovely $9. I'd heard the woman mutter behind me about the cost of the first littler the saleslady showed us, so when I saw that there was only one bag of the Nature's Miracle Stuff left, I did what any self-respecting penny pincher would do.

I snagged that last bag and walked away six kinds of happy.

Now, my cats are oddly easy going when it comes to their litter. I could change types on a weekly basis and the little suckers wouldn't even notice. So I came home, cleaned the littler box out, and dumped the fresh litter right in. Which is when I noticed that the litter smells like...a forest. Seriously, it was like someone chopped down a bunch of trees and dumped the mulch in my kitchen. Wackiness.

But they've both used it and I smell nothing but forest so I guess it works. We'll see how long it sticks around though. I do love me some Swheat Scoop.

Did I ever show you guys our wedding pictures? NO? Okay then, you can go here and see the slideshow they put together for us.

We are of course all kinds of in love with all of them, which makes me very glad that we decided to get two sets of the printed proofs because lord above, the prints would be expensive if we wanted to buy them all. Luckily, we're patient so most of our reprints will be done once we get the digital negatives on our one year anniversary.

Of course, we are going to buy a few bigger prints to get them professionally touched up and such, a couple 8x10s and an 11x14, but now I'm wondering where to hang giant pictures of us. Is it weird to have big old wedding pictures in our living room? I hope not because that's really the only place they'll fit. I only have wall space in the bathroom and the living room.

And no one needs to see giant pictures of us while peeing.
