i am totally sick of pancakes.

having friends over for dinner again tonight..but, mon dieu, i forgot that my cheese man is closed on Mondays…i didn't misplace the pate this time though (don't ask)… mom is out on the school-boat in the state of Maine this week..wonder how it's going? wonder if she's figured out how to use the digital camera…

figured out the sweet set-up tonight…moved the computer, on which i can watch dvd's, into the AIR CONDITIONED bedroom!! woo-hoo! i have seven or eight months worth of movie-watching to catch up on…well, actually more like seven or eight years worth….i've never been much of a movie person, but that cool, crisp a/c air is…

my dear, loveable, gorgeous friend Mike (there we are some 5+ years ago at Genna's in Madison, WI) is taking my mom out for dinner tonight in Boston..bless his heart, he offered to do so, and hasn't never even met her before. (though we've known each other going on 7+ years now, or are Nedrebo's…

mom leaves for seventeen days in the US tomorrow morning…hmmm, what shall i do first? run around naked? (nearly am already, what with this heat) eat crackers in the livingroom? (no biggie, she does that already) have a boy over? (better odds on pigs flying) sadly, it is organizing and cleaning and furniture rearranging that…

back at home! going to be sleeping in my very own lumpy bed once again tonight, just as soon as i unwind from the plane trip..it is very late. we're bushed. Miss Ruby is still in care, so no cuddles tonight. i really did miss her so..but she sent such lovely emails while i was…

how can we possibly go to sleep (regardless of 6am bus to airport) when Fargo is on tv? i can't believe i used to talk like that. still do sometimes, when i'm reading emails from WI and MN friends out loud to myself. hmm..which is worse? reading emails out loud or saying things like "Doan'tcha…

we're off to London tomorrow, at the ungodly hour of 6am. and i'm not human til at least 9am. Miss Ruby jumped right in Rach's car tonight (my little dog is staying with her and Napo for the week, garden-running-happiness) without missing a beat. but she did look out the window in what i imagine…
