You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

YAY FRIDAY NIGHT!!

Or something. Reading and watching crappy tv and imbibing too much scotch. But I can sleep in! After I get up at 7 am to shoot the cat. And then get up again to, y'know, do stuff.

I just discovered that the Trachtenwhatever Family Slideshow thingy I've heard about on the radio is in Austin and doing their thing while I'm there. Wondering what family I could rope into trying to crash this. Or someother musical thingy. And how you get in. I'd love to lurk in Austin with my favorite cousin, but....well, I suspect we'll be doing family stuff. And he has kids & wife (who could come with us but...kids) now and....hell. How did he get to be in his forties? How did 15 years pass? He lived with us when I was 15. Suddenly, I had a big brother who I adored and detested. And now I'm a grownup?

Yay RIO! And yay JenP! Sounds like both will be in prime cabana boy spots.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Yay Rio! Yay JenP!

What color, Jen?

It's, umm... cocoa, a.k.a medium brown. I have to use the 28-shampoo wash out kind because I am far, far too lazy to keep up with permanent hair color. I've tried, and it was not pretty. I also used the wrong color at one point and had a whole horizontal stripe thing going. People said they couldn't tell. People could tell.

(I have a pretty necklace and earrings brought back by a friend who visited Costa Rica. It is made from seed pods, and it's dark, dark brown and deep orangey-red, and I love it. She loved Costa Rica and wants to go back.)

I don't like the Trachtenberg Family. I think the parents are bad parents. The little girl has that hypermature hypercompetent air that the kids of negligent parents tend to have.

I don't know much beyond my vague recollection of the show on the radio, so I can't say much. I'll take your word for it. They did seem loopy, like so many loopy families I knew from meeting. But it is more the plethora of stuff happening there when I'm in the vicinity. And the need to run from my crazy planny fussy relatives.

planning new wardrobe around new jewelry

I'm tellin ya'...

Heh, at first I thought the Yay, Jen!'s were for the hair dying, and I was all, "Now, how'd they know how extensive the grey's gotten?" But then I remembered -- beach. Ooh, cabana boys. I wonder if I could import some. That'd be fun.

Time to rinse...
