A dinner to remember

I dont have any pictures, but last night was a great night. Firstly, I am currently unemployed! Saturday was the last day at Passport and Yesterday was the last day at corporate pet shop. Sad, but also good. I came home, and threw a chicken in the crockpot. (The lemon pepper chicken posted below) Some beets the the oven for Everything Salad and took a nap. lol. After getting up, cleaning and putting on clothes (in that order) I prepared for guests!!

Alix came first, then Greg and John from Mantra. We ate, drank (Porter, YUMMO!!) and made fun of the pets. Castor was a ham, and showed off the whole time. I let Cooper out in his ball and him and Castor played chase and generaly were adorable. Everything went so well. We listened to Justin Farren and laughed and laughed for hours. Such a good night.

Im finally packing up for the move. Everything is going down to Toledo to get shipped, and only the bare essentials are going in the car. Im meloncholy about the whole thing. I want to be back in California so bad, but Im going to miss this place like hell. Detroit is like no other place on Earth.

Leaving soon!

Holy cow time flies when your working your ASS off. Its the end of July, and I am going to be leaving second week of August. Its kind of freaky. As bad as I want to go home I am so sad leaving. I love my apartment. I love this city and I love Alix :) lol. I love the proximity to all the eastcoast, but I havnt been anywhere so its a waste anyways.

Yesterday I was in a fowl mood, but A LOT less fowl then fridays. So to cheer myself up I went out to the Ann Arbor Art Fair. I have been hearing about this for like a month, and it was a bit dissapointing. It was just an big street art sale, which is cool, but I dont know if I would have driven all the way out for it. I did pick up two peices though, a photograph of a 50's Odlsmobil and a great night ruins picture. :)

Drive was nice, then I headed to work to end up working as a driver (uck) untill 3 am. It was dead until 1am then a flood of idiots. just so many drunkards who cant even act like a human, much less try and function. I work waaaay to hard.

The count down

Im so happy to leave. Things have changed a lot around here. Matisse is gone. Monday I get a text at work that "The barking has to stop now, its been going on for to long, muzzle him tonight." Barking? Howling? Omg I had no idea, so I had my neighbor watch him, and I bought a muzzle just in case. So tuesday at work I get a text that he has to go, it to much. Wait, what? How long HAS this been going on? No answer. I have to rehome my dog? Im heart broken. So I bailed on Pizza Shop (goodbye $60) and drove all the way out to take him back to Cheryls, crying the whole way (goodbye $50 in gas). Why didnt anyone tell me before it got to this point? Because everyone in Detroit is super jenky. And this California girl is done. Ya, and my neighbor is trying to make me her personal assistant, but for no pay and BTW being kind of rude about it. And Vince keeps trying to stiff me on my pay. Yup, time to go.

Castor is off at the vet today, he's getting neutered. Its so quiet and sad around here. I guess its time to let Cooper run freeeeeeee!!! lol, well, in the ball. Im getting started packing before work. I have started an experiment but I'm gunna try and keep it to its own blog. :) lol. Lemons, Lemonaide.
