the internet goes in and out here. we finally signed up for our own yesterday but it won't be up for another week. things are mostly settled now. we've both been working full time this week. gareth actually gets a friday and saturday off this weekend. he always works weekends so i'm sure he's excited. but i'll be closing tonight and opening tomorrow. i'm off sunday though and i hope to head out to louisa for the first time since i got back from my trip. i ran into matt this week. really he ran into me. he and bobbie parked behind me at target and found me in the soap section. he jumped around the corner and scared the crap out of me. not literally. but then he laughed so hard he may have crapped himself. it was a good one. speaking of gasses... we got our oven working. gareth spent about an hour trying to light our pilot light. then i lit it in about a minute. poor guy. he didn't want me to get hurt. but i think i hurt his ego. at least i have banana bread now. we went to see bruno last night. it was hilarious at times but all around outrageous. as his movies tend to be. i'm watching a discovery show about all the mass extinctions in history. the movie knowing came out last week. with nicholas cage. it's about the next one. it was really good. but frightening.
