He was, Jilli.

55 minutes and I have sopping wet hair, but I needed a cigarette and an idea of what to do with my hair. I think a messy updo, with a couple of teeny braids interpersed, and pink dragonfly sparkley pins dabbed into my 1/2 chignon.

I'm finding this play-by-play fun; sorry if it annoys.

It doesn't annoy. It's cute, and fun, and I wish I could see you as you progress to fabulously fancy, Erin.

sorry if it annoys.

Never! It's fun to hear about. Like Bitches of old, actually.

But now I must go watch something with DH. Possibly the first Harry Potter.

Have fun, Erin!

I'll post pix as soon as I get the CD back. The joy of a friend with her own photo studio -- free pix!!

Ok, must progress into heavy-duty schmancifying mode.

Later, Beetches!

I once tried to smudge my house with sage. I set off an asthma attack in my son. Duh.

Have fun Erin!

I have showered and dressed. Now I have to not get sweaty for the next 2 hours. Considering the temperature today that will be a challenge. The current plan is to read with a cool beverage.

So far: walked the dog went into work and kicked illegal parkers out of lot vacuumed rugs and curtains cleaned bathroom tidied bedroom

now: to target make appetizer for dinner clean up yard change catbox shower have folks over eat!

Heh. I remember you writing about that. I don't smudge my house. My husband and children have made it clear that's *their* job.

Today is Greg's birthday.

So far I have spent a long time on the phone, caught up on some tivo'd stuff that he doesn't watch so I could clean out some memory, nd read a lot of Bitches, defragged my computer and cleaned (sort of, don't look in the corners) the kitchen.

I have yet to: tidy the living room and dining room, go to the store for dinner after Greg returns with the car, cook dinner, dress, shower, eat dinner, watch a movie, put babies down to bed (today was Aidan's first day without a nap) and go to bed.

The above is in no particular order.

Present buying will actually happen tomorrow, when I have the car, as well as a nice brunch. We saved the prosecco to use for bellinis tomorrow. I am one of those who believe in stretching out the celebration.

Cindy, I knew you were teasing. I was teasing right back. I promise, no crankies. You were funny too.

I have been enjoying Erin's play-by-play too. Such fun.

Happy Birthday, Greg!

Poor Deena. I know those sorts of birthdays all too well. Here's hoping you don't fall asleep in your supper.

Cindy, I knew you were teasing. I was teasing right back. I promise, no crankies. You were funny too.

Good. I don't think I have ever seen you cranky with any of us. I just wanted to make sure I didn't hurt your feelings or embarrass you in any way.
