Bad mother, or creative?

Creative!

I vote creative as well.

In the meantime, I've been out to Whole Foods and Trader Joe's, and despite a horribly bad driver on Mem Drive (trying to stop when there was a green GO arrow at the traffic light; I resorted to my rarely-used tactic of beeping my horn repeatedly but she so deserved it) my mood has improved somewhat.

I spent yesterday sick as a nauseated, vertiginous dog, so am desperately trying to make up the work. Back to school tomorrow. I'm not ready!

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Oog. Hope you're feeling significantly better, Emily.

Hec, I went shopping at Monterey Market yesterday (which was one of the worst shopping experiences EVAH, but that's another story). They had local hothouse tomatoes. But I think you're right that we won't be seeing non-hothouse organic for a little while. However, tomato starts are on sale at nurseries and as long as this rain doesn't continue forever, I think we'll see tomatoes before August.

I've got a gig tonight. I've tried, but I haven't gotten the song (I'm part of an ensemble so I only have to carry my solo number) down yet. There would be ways around this if it weren't for the fact that the whole point of the night is to play a certain album entirely on ukulele. So...I'm a little less excited about performing than usual today. I did some stuff yesterday but not enough. I'm hoping that my worry about tonight won't make me unproductive today but I'm not sanguine about my chances.

Well, it took me a while to get up this morning because I was afraid to find out that I was still leaning sideways, but that seems to have gone away. Still working on my motivation, though. Blech!

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Must be farmer's market day we bought fennel, nuts, apple cider,naan and stuff to go with Naan. This was a new-to-us farmer's market. If we can find easier parking it could become a regular place. lots of strawberries, beats, various greens , peapods, and oranges.

disturbing stories in todays paper

a group of kids in Kansas and now another in Alska were caught plotting to kill classmates and faculty at thier schools. I am glad they were found out before the damage was done, bu tthere seems to be no urgency to look at the causes. The Alaska one the kids wanted to get back at bullies. Yet these doesn't seem to be a concern.

In the sfgate they are talking about restoreing old theaters. Is it worth it can it work? I can tell them a place where it has actually worked, and it is in the bay area. Just smaller than they are thinking about

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, here's a question -- I'm sending a resume out today. Do I date the letter tomorrow? Friday? Today?

I'm getting the pig!

Faxing? I'd put today's date. If you're mailing it tomorrow morning, I'd put the 24th.
