I was looking around the Aparment Therapy site Lisah linked to and found a discussion of "the trend of color-coordinating your books." I felt a weird wave of nausea. But I am a book freak. Books are to be read, consulted, drooled over. The idea of just having books because you like the color is . . . weird. One comment said, "When I wanted to buy another white book, the shelf was too tight, so I had to move things down, and it messed everything up."
Book snob, another tag that never closes.
Snake drainspout, haircut, Home Despot, laundry, new underwear, make strawberry shortcakes, bbq @ neighbor's, stuff.
Speaking of old lady: It was my minion's birthday yesterday, and I was assuming she was turning 25. NO. 24! I laughed and laughed. No wonder she thinks I'm so old! Because I am.
Tonight: Put my feet up
Tomorrow: Meet mother, sister & niece for lunch somewhere between here and Richmond for Mother's Day. Go see movie and have dinner with DH. Put my feet up.
Sunday: Chores. Put my feet up.
sarameg, have you tried just sticking a hose into the top of the drainspout and flushing it out? That's all I've ever done to clear them, seems to work.
Weekend: Mostly events with JZ's family celebrating (locally) her brother's marriage to his partner, with a bit of Little League on the side.
Tonight: hosting the Friday night geek-fest
Tomorrow: nothing solid. I'll probably ramble over to the Farmer's Market and get some strawberries, see if the nursery has some plants I've been waiting on, etc. I know I won't be color coordinating my book shelves.
Sunday: Star Trek and dinner with friends
Star Trek was good! Looks like it's time to head home now that the meeting is over.
People!! I got my brows waxed!! It was very exciting and new for me. Yes, I am 36. As I told my Alabaman coworker who was probably taking lessons in lipstick application when she was 10, I was raised by hippies! In Maine!
This weekend I am probably doing a lot of yard work. It's been 85 and rainy for a week and everything is growing like crazy, including the kudzu. There is a kids' dance party in a downtown club (1-4pm) that might be fun, and a neighbor is having a fundraising pottery sale (to raise money to do surgery on the dog who lives in the pottery.)
If I don;t get breakfast in bed for Mother's day I will be put out.
