tomorrow is brunch with friend at a restaurant I am excited to try. Then getting everything that can move out of the yard into the house in anticipation for the arrival of Bill: [link] [link]

I am writing, editing, and then having date night with my husband on Saturday, which is a big deal, since we never do that. We might see District 9.

I'm making pork & avocado wraps, but am currently hiding out in the AC with my family while the pork tenderloin roasts.

Once we can, they'll be helpless before their innate desires, will mass-abandon their wives/husbands, and shack up with the family dog (or cat or whatever).

I've seen several arguments from the whackjob end of the religious right that basically boil down to: gay sex is so much better than het sex that if it weren't forbidden nobody would EVER willingly touch a woman again because, ew, the girl cooties, they burn, they burn. It's that lovely combination of repression and misogyny that makes these guys special, you know?

House stuff (hee!) maybe finish off pruning the evil bush, walk Lake Montabello again, maybe twice, farmer's market, birthday party tomorrow night (out! with the humans!)

I *really* think I need to visit the scary russian bra ladies, cause shrinking is putting me at my wits' end with regards to bra-age. Most styles just don't work for me at all and I need help.

This weekend my sister arrives -- so tonight is dinner with my sisters - tomorrow night I'll be staying at nearby sister's house -- with some activity durring the day.

So what are people doing this weekend?

Airshow!

Celebrating my baby's 15th birthday. He would prefer it didn't happen on a weekend because he wanted to get his learner's permit on his birthday. Don't know the plan yet.

Plans will involve staying inside A/C.

This weekend: Evidently, first I have planned a massive sobbing on the floor meltdown. No idea. Well, okay, actually I know what triggered it...found the docs I'd printed out to go to recording school in 2002. Except that my grandmother died that summer so I never got to go. So the papers are all excited about the courses I was going to take and the equipment I was going to get to use.

So, evidently I still wish I'd been able to go. And grieving my grandma, yup, there's that. But it must have been more than that, 'cause boy howdy was that a weeper. Stress about people in the house? Panic about the upcoming school year? Sadness over heartbreak and grief in the lives of friends and students? Who knows. But it all came out.

Organization is fraught with dangers, evidently. OTOH, my cables are sorted now.

Hope that's it and it was nice and cathartic, because the rest of my weekend plans include:

VACAY! Heading out for Santa Fe tomorrow after work. It's the Indian market, so it will be packed there, but we'll be mostly there for other stuff, Georgia O'Keefe museum, live music, green chile cheeseburgers.

We have work stuff sandwiching this trip, but that's okay, because whoo do we need a vacation. Hopefully we'll come back nice and renewed and ready for the school year.

Aw, Liese. Sometimes you just need a freakout. Yay for vacation!

I have no plans for the weekend, but need to hit a bookstore at some point, and do some job stuff. I got all of my other errands done today, I think.

Organization is fraught with dangers, evidently.

Oh man, I want to hug you. But vacation! Awesome!
