That sounds amazing, juliana.
Nice about my week: started to build the house! Footer poured, waiting on water hookup, stem wall coming Monday.
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Tell me something nice, anything at all, about your week.
I'm getting a 90 minute massage tonight with my favorite massuese! (I'm pretty sure that will at least be in my Top 5 nice things about this week.)
Also, I got shiny silver sneakers in the mail!!!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Good stuff!

My sinus infection is pretty much cleared up, so have my latest round of chronic foot/ankle/knee problems, and the weather outside is gorgeous.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
My week started off on a sour note, but I've been disciplined about my diet and haven't ordered takeout this week. Mostly because no internet but I'll take the small victory.
Also I know I mentioned this but just booking the wedding planner has already been a big victory for me, since that was scary.

Nice stuff:
I started a fencing class.
It's turning into lovely New England late summer/early fall weather, which is my favorite time of year.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
That does sound like a delicious meal.
had an amuse-bouche of heirloom tomato soup
I'm all about the amuse-bouche. When we were planning the wedding, I asked the caterer for "little tidbit like treats between meals, like the lagniappe you get in New Orleans" and she said, "Oh, amuse-bouche! We can have fun with that."

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
I'm listening to "Re: Your Brains." That's pretty fun.

Emmett had been at his mom's for a longish stretch and when we went to get Matilda last night they were both so freaking happy to see each other. He played with her in the car all the way home (she was in her car seat) and he held her hands to walk her all the way down the block, and she was giggling and cracking up at all his usual antics.
Also, I'm almost almost done with my book and the feedback I've been getting from my beta readers has been (a) excellent and (b) really encouraging. I'm finally starting to feel like it's becoming the book I set out to write.
Oh, and I got the proofs on my Dan Hicks article which will be coming out in the music issue of Oxford American, which is a biggish deal.
