ketchup... er, catch up...

hey... how ya doin? it's been awhile... besides the fact that i already stare at a computer for enough hours of the day, i've really meant to sit down one night and blog again... but lately my nights have been filled with concerts, the pleasures of a gorgeous and wonderful man, food with good friends and serving fine patrons in a fine dining establishment...

i hate these posts where i feel the need to catch up on all i've left you out of... they seem to scream that i think you care... well, here's hoping you do because i'm about to briefly recap the top five most memorable things that have occured in the past week and a half that i've been missing in action:

(in no particular order)

1. saw a fantastic concert -- imogen heap, the kid beyond and levi weaver... completely blew my mind with their voice looping and uniquely technical take on musical artistry... promoted creativity within myself that i still have not fully released...
2. after downing a free hot cocoa, waiting for almost two hours and pushing my way through a crowd of designer desperate shoppers, i scored my beloved viktor & rolf by h&m dress... for a moment, i was utterly and shamefully a material girl...
3. dogsitting duties had me watching over two adorable shelties (midnight and cody)... plus, two dog-like cats (kyleigh and lexi), which altogether satisfied my hunger for some animal love... damnit i want a scruffy little one to call my own...
4. my step-sis needed a hair model for a practical interview she had at a big-name salon... it's tough job, but somebody had to do it -- pity me and my FREE dye job... gorgeous tones of copper and bright blonde seemed to have exploded across my head... the guys at work have taken to calling me "rogue" in reference to the wildly streaked hair of the x-men broad...
5. as if lending me thought-provoking literature wasn't enough, this new male figure in my life took me to the old mill for brunch to meet his work posse... each and every one of them was a genuine soul with nothing but free lobster and laughter on their minds... i sit back and constantly wonder where he'll take me next, because i'm loving every minute of this ride...

now you're pretty much caught up... other than the fact that i left out seeing borat, painted my nails brown and ate at salad king twice since i last blogged... life is good...
