I'm not even worried about the ex (ok maybe a little), I am looking scant-wise for the movie selection.

No idea what this weekend will bring. I may have a friend stopping through on her way back home, but I'm not sure. I hopefully will know by friday.

Cookies.

I heard from my childhood best friend & got caught up on what all the younger siblings are up to and it just makes me laugh. The youngest, who was at the awkward stage when I left home, went on to play basketball, then had a goth phase, then a baby right out of high school and now is married to a rancher. Best image is of her running around in miniskirts and slides, innoculating cattle.

I can't even picture her as any older than 13. So much living happened!

I went to a bellydancing class last night, where it was confirmed that I have a lot of belly and very little dance.

What are your plans for the long weekend (if you have to work on Monday - spew about your job/boss/company)?

This past weekend was my long weekend. I did some weeding, watched Star Wars, played games with friends, and slept a lot. Then I got a stomach bug or something.

Where was your best vacation ever and why was it so freakin awesome?

All vacations are great. I loved the trip to Mexico for my friend`s wedding because I was so freaking relaxed. I jsut had a fab time in NY, and I`m trying to figure out when I can go back there again!

I missed the dinner for the seniors this year, should I 1)bake them all cookies and frost '05 on them? 2)bake a nice cake for them? 3)bake cupcakes and frost '05 on them? 4)buy them all '05 keychains?

I vote cupcakes.

Unpacking, and then unpacking some more. Maybe going to a bbq on Sunday, if I can tear myself asway from the unpacking.

Brain freeze. Too much pressure. Total failure to remember any vacation I have ever taken.

Last night I brought my dog to the new house and let him run around his hew yard for the first time. He went absolutely crazy, racing around in circles, doing his chase me dance, and ran into the sliding glass door (with no damage to himself or the door). Happy making!

I have a lot of belly and very little dance.

You're going to have try harder if you expect to be abducted into white slavery.

I need to see this damn movie, just for completeness' sake. I figure I can make him pay, so at least I'm not out the $10.

I'll be spending half of it at home, helping Dad with Mom-care. The other half will involve RotS and G&Ts. The quantity of the last part will depend on how the first two go.

I spent four days in Amsterdam, just last month. Four days of seeing some of the best art in the world, interacting with some terrific people, and seeing a beautiful city--I loved it. It was my first time in Europe (unless you count Iceland) and I can't wait to go back.

Cookies. Frosting optional.

I had home-made strawberry biscuits.

Recipe: Take a whole lot of strawberries, smush them up and add a couple teaspoons of sugar to draw out the juices. Bake a few biscuits. Butter the biscuts. Slather them with the berries. Drown the whole thing in whipped cream. Be sure to use real berries, butter, and cream for this--fake versions are blasphemous. It's way better than strawberry shortcake because it's not overwhelmingly sweet--the biscuits add a touch of richness and buttery goodness and crunch.

My cats have been unfailingly cute all week, and incredibly cuddly. Does that count?
