is there a free version of Angie's list? The plumber unplugged the adapter for the washing machine and now I can't find it and when I called him to ask if he might have taken it by mistake he swore at me! I'd really like to report out on his service but I don't want to pay a membership fee.

Oh, Stephanie! I bet it was so wonderful to see the dogs! I'd forgotten they were still there. Silly me!

I planted my flowers today! YAY! Other than that, taking it pretty easy, which has been good. Tomorrow will be another quiet day, then I'm going to head home and start getting the apartment ready for the party. Also, YAY!

Maybe it's not too petty of me to hide the blender under the circumstances. When I told roommate D what I'd done he just smiled. When I said, "what else can we take away from them?" he password protected the computer.

Right on!

I went to the gym and walked on the treadmill (not v. fast) for 35 minutes, filled up my gas tank, napped, sat outside with the dogs, and...that's about it.

(Er, and, I took an Ativan earlier today -- the first one I've taken since the Dr. prescribed them on Tuesday. My mood swings finally swung so far out there that I needed something to reel them in. And it worked, so it's all good.)

We went to a play in Providence today and then went to dinner with a gift certificate we forgot we had. It was a very nice day. Tomorrow we're headed back to RI for dinner at Mom's.

In happier news- these comfort gel insoles really work.

We were just watching a "young guy traveling the world" show set in Mongolia, and he wandered into a store in the capital, where he met a guy who spoke very good English. The guy called himself Batman, and he mentioned that he met his wife, a Mongolian girl, in Provo, Utah, where she was studying at Brigham Young University. Also Known As, the university I drive past every day on the way to work.

Hubby leaned towards the TV. "I know him!"

I looked closer. "He does look familiar. He came into [the game store Hubby used to manage]."

"Well, he is calling himself Batman."

The world, it is a smaller place.

We went to a movie! In a theater! and we have a babysitter who Iris seems to like a lot who doesn't cost more than dinner+movie! All your !!!s are belong to me!

Although so much for not spending too much money this month. poof! like that - in one date.

Sparky - have you seen prince caspian yet? Will you & DH go, please? for me? There is a very familiar place in the first few scenes. I was all excited, and then thought "oh no. Not that place - movieland can't go there...."
