The thread shifted in the middle of wedding flower madness and I've had no time to catch up yet. Looking forward to seeing what's been up since Thursday.

Here is some pictoral evidence of what has kept me away. It's a shutterfly link...not sure if it will work.

Hugs to all who needs 'em and hope all is well until I can get caught up!

OK. My NP called in tylenol w/ codeine and a muscle relaxant. We're going to touch base tomorrow and decide what to do based on how much the drugs help.

Ow, Susan. Back pain is the worst; it affects EVERYTHING. I hope the drugs help!

Weather is nice here. I have the windows open, and no air. I turned it on a couple of nights this weekend -- I hate to sleep sweaty.

I had a pleasant weekend. After the play Friday, I went to a cast party at the most WONDERFUL loft in the River MArket area -- just this inconspicuous little apartment door, but it goes up to this amazing two story loft, with a terrace like a rich Park Avenue apartment -- trees! Trees on a terrace! And a nice view of the river and downtown, and a great breeze. I was very jealous.

Been applying for temp jobs, and tonight will write more cover letters for FT teaching jobs for the fall. Job-ma for summer and FT fall work would be GREAT; I'm broke as fuck.

Worrying about the job hasn't left me much time for hanky-panky; I DID call that guy last week, and we hooked up on Thursday, which was fun. He called Sunday, no message, and I called back, but haven't heard anything. Which is fine.

I have pie.

I have pie

Pie makes everything better. While at the casino on Laughlin last week, we ate at the diner and I ordered "Pie Pie". Which consisted of a really good chicken pot pie served with a great slice of cherry pie. Plus, I got to say "Pie Pie" to the waiter.

My friend has a cherry tree in her yard, and I foresee a great picking and pie-making extravaganza later this summer.

We had a cherry tree in our backyard, until it was struck by lightning.

We also had a tree in the front yard struck. And a car.

Hmm.

Whoa. DOUBLE pie.

Another reason I love the automatic checkouts at the grocery store: when I go in at 9 pm in sweats and buy an entire pie and a bag of gummy bears, I don't gots to explain nothin' to no one.

I want key lime pie. That's my very favorite pie.

I have apple. The others tempted me for a moment, but in the end, it all comes down to apple.

Good for you on getting the pie, Lilty!

I have had two very large margaritas. I'm just a wee bit tipsy. But, fun was had! It was so good to see everyone!
