On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Tonight I'm going to some concert in Brooklyn, other than that, not much.

My baby boy turns 3 tomorrow! He's getting a slip and slide for his party. Also dinosaur Duplo. I figure 6 kids aged 3-5 can amuse themselves for a couple of hours with a slip and slide and a sprinkler, right? I am so into low-key birthday parties.

Damn, it just occurred to me: if it rains, we're fucked.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Well, if it rains, you won't need the sprinkler.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Hey, it's Friday! What are people doing this weekend?

A little gardening, a little biking, a little baking. I will probably go to a beading class at a nearby bead store on Sunday. Otherwise, my weekend is blissfully unscheduled. I might even vacuum the carpet two weekends running.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Leaving work early to go help out at rehearsal dinner for Niece in Orange County, where I will grind my teeth in order to avoid talking about politics or about what a bad idea this wedding is. Tomorrow, all day at S and BiL's, helping them finish prep for wedding at 6pm. More teeth-grinding. Sunday, home, unclench jaw, do laundry then Sunday night go with friends to Led Zeppelin Laser Show!!!!

A patron! It's an old system, but it sounded pretty good to me. Where do I sign up?

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I just made an appointment to have the cat's claws trimmed tomorrow morning, after which I work at the bookstore, then get back to my goal of having my apartment completely clean by Monday morning. I'm going on vacation a week from Sunday, and if I can have my cleaning done a week early, I'll be waaaay ahead of the game.
