Habitualchaos

Been a while hasnt it?

Nothing I can really say either as to why I havent posted in a long time. It, quite honestly, always slips my mind. Its not like theres nothing going on in my life, and its not also a lack of desire to want to post... I just dont think about it as much as I used to, and subsequently the site, and you, suffer for it.

Really though, as Ive said many many times before; its not like I actually have that many visitors, so it is usually the same three people hounding me to update. Im not downplaying the importance of those selected people either, cause I know they mean well... but its never enough that I remember to write anything.

I think what Im gonna try doing, is something that was suggested to me a long time ago. That "something" is various people can give me subjects, that I will add my own little spin to.

Will this actually happen? Chances are just as good they will, as they are it wont... but it might "light a fire under my butt" enough to at least post a little more often. Even if it doesnt, its not like its gonna hurt my already, lengthy absence from updating this place.

Hell, Ive had a 90% finished new design for Habitualchaos for more than a couple months now, and it, like the site itself, is something that I simply forget about most of the time.

Lets hope something happens soon, I have an adoring (well maybe not so much now) audience to satisfy.

Note: This post should have been done Saturday, August 18th; the actual date of my lovely fiancee Jenns birthday, but I was lazy and am doing it now. Shh, dont tell her, Im hoping she wont notice.

So, a couple days ago, my before mentioned lovely fiancee Jenn celebrated her 26th birthday. Even though Id love to tell you all about it right now, I might as well get to the part youre all wondering about, before getting to that... what I got her?!

There were essentially two parts to "what she got?" I will go in the order of their presentations, so up first is, as you see below, a new pair of Nike Shox; which she had expressed a need for since her current pair were dwindling.

The second part, although you can actually see it at the top right, will come after a short description of the first part of the nights festivities.

You see, Jenn took the opportunity to make a stop at her favorite Margarita establishment, which also just happens to be a Mexican restaurant called Jalisco's (in Salem); which was in danger of not happening because of a tornado that hit Salem a few days before. Jaliscos opened in time, so Jenn enjoyed the company of friends and family, while downing Margaritas and eating food wed probably regret later.

After the Margarita celebration, we made our way back to Jenns parents house, where I presented the second part of "what she got."

That second part being, a birthday cake modeled after a Coach purse she currently owns. Made by Clarencedale Cakes, whod Id been introduced to through my good bud Miller; as Clarencedale did his, and his lovely wife Jens wedding cake. I been to Clarencedales website, looking around and saw a cake that looked like a bottle of Captain Morgans. After initially ordering that cake for Jenn, I noticed a cake that looked like a Coach purse, and thought thatd be a better fit.

After changing my order, and talking with the lady at Clarencedale, she suggested I take some photos of Jenns current Coach purse, and they would model their cake after that. Above is the result... which Jenn actually, for a brief second or two, mistakenly though I simply bought her another purse; and was slightly confused as to why Id buy her a purse she already had.

After that brief confusion, she caught on and a big smile came over her face, telling me she loved the gift; which did everyone else, after we peeled off all the fondant that made up the outside and got to the cake inside.

After the cake, and visiting with more with family and friends, we made our way to our good friends house for some drinking and bullshitting.

All in all, I think it was a good day, and Im pretty sure Jenn felt the same way. Now all I gotta do is find some way to outdo myself next year... and the year after that... and the year after that...

Damn, I got start getting some creative ideas going.
