Hello, all! I didn't realize the Blog was continuing past Christmas. Thank you to all who came down for OscarFest 2008. Busy, busy at work--no significant changes since becoming supervisor, mostly just more calls and more e-mails to deal with.

APPLEBEE'S

I trained a double today (10:30am-3:30pm and then 5:00pm-9:30pm). I work tomorrow and then another double on Friday. Back to being really busy, but this place is way better for me and I don't have to wear that apron.

OSCAR PARTY!

This will be my first year attending and I can't wait! I'll be driving down with Maria. I'm not very creative so I won't be dressing up.

Oscar Meyer

I don't know what to wear for the Oscar party, I guess I was hoping the writers would be greedier. I do have a package of Depends, but usually the baby's not at the shower. Awfully nice to see Nicki blogging. Why do so many clothesmakers insist on itchy tags; I feel like I just got a haircut + can't get rid of the stragglers! I was glad to hear the Juno theme song again. On my way to a wedding I saw Matt's keeping Pete company while Mom's in VA. Jim's been back in contact with us + seems reasonably well. I get along with him very well when we talk. I'll be traveling with the invaribly best costumed Tony tomorrow + don't HAVE to get up Mon. AM.

FOR AUNT NICKI...

I LOVE postsecret. That guy is a genius for coming up with that.

A Rare Appearance by Nicki

Hi to Everyone! I don't have time to check in very often, but the last time I checked in I enjoyed the Paul McCartney video Matt sent and this time I just LOVED the secret postcards. I hope you'll include that every week, Matt, so we can see it again. Nicki

OBAMA

I'm just back from Obama's 9:45 pm rally at Beloit College's fieldhouse, where Michael Jordan used to practice. It was fun to have him here as his last appearance before our vote. First they said our whole line would get in, then they said I was the very last, then they said they miscounted + the guy before me was the absolute last, but they changed their mind cuz I was told I'd made it. I felt guilty, so I was delighted when they later relented + let another 50 in, but it had been a good story + I didn't have to wait long + was plenty close. But I couldn't have got mom there cuz Nic just dropped me on our way back from dancing; you know it's mom's type of event.
Chelsea Clinton also spoke in a lesser rally there earlier.
He's very articulate + has an excellent voice, which was nice even if you don't like him, plus he has my ears + haircut. It makes it more interesting to see tomorrow's vote.
There is a serial rapist-killer in Reno who's had his third attack, once each month, all co-eds. Just after I watched Dexter, the story of the cop/serial killer. I hope my tastes don't inspire killers cuz I do enjoy the genre.
You know the city will be lauding itself for putting everything together last minute, but it is interesting. It was still frigid + snowing, but at least it was something besides the miserable weather to talk about. The massive rain days have been the worst of all; snow at least impresses people.
