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.
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.

Ooh.

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.

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...
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday tommyrot!
Dinner with Kristin and the DCistas was fun, if noisy.
As for the rest of the weekend, I take the cat to the vet for her annual checkup tomorrow. Other than that, cleaning. whee.
Rio, have the bestest time on your honest-to-dog vacation. Sounds so cool. Kat keeps with the wanting to visit Costa Rica. Also, since I haven't posted much lately, CONGRATULATIONS on the bended knee and the thing and the big bling and everything. Whoot!
