Hi, Laura!

We don't have hot water. Well, I mean, we must have *some*, 'cause the water gets lukewarm, but not hot. I'm annoyed. I need to do dishes and take a shower. Grrrrr... I've got stuff to do today! Must get ready for the big Mother's Day Dinner.

Speaking of Mother's Day, I'm having a hard time deciding what to get mom. I've been put in charge of a group gift. LOVE it when that happens. Both brothers (and SIL) said I can get whatever I think mom would like. Well, I thought about getting her some accessories for her camera that she got for her birthday, but turns out she hasn't used the camera at all yet. Dad's not sure if she likes it, so I'm not sure I want to give her another camera-surrounded gift. I could get her gift certificates, but that just seems so impersonal. She likes Cameo jewelry, but it's pretty expensive. I guess I could run to Macy's and see if I can find any...

Oh, also, I finally put up pictures of my gorgeous Bitch Blanket from SA. You can see the pictures here: [link]

Just to show the effect y'all are having on me, last weekend I was visiting my mother and sister. At one point my mother yells, "oh, it's a hummer" and my mind went to a bad, bad place before I realized she was talking about a hummingbird.

I am twelve.

I'm going to hell, aren't I?

really not worth saying twice.

Does anyone like freshwater pearls?

Yesterday when I was returning stuff I bought online at the Coldwater Creek store, the sales women gave me their in store gift with purchase because of a problem I had with the shipping. The gift set is nice, but not my style. It would be free/cost of postage to a good home

EEEP. I need to get off my ass and get out to the beach. I'm just staring out the French doors at the pool. It's overcast today but I can get some good reading in. I could also walk to the shops to buy a hat. Decisions, decisions.

vw, pretty!

Thanks, Cashmere! Oh, and have a lovely day!

We have hot water again! Apparently, the restaurant downstairs was cleaning in the basement yesterday and while mopping knocked the hot water valve down. I wish I would have called last night. Poor Emily had a cold shower this morning.

It's a hard life. (I'm so glad you're getting a chance to relax.)

Gronkity freakin' gronk.

Yay for hot water and Eep!s and getting out to the beach! For me, I'm not sure about today, yet. It could still go either way. Maybe if we all hold hands and chant "This will be a good Monday. This will be a happy Monday.", it'll work. Maybe?

I don't know. Do we have to say it with conviction?
