Tomorrow, I'm judging at the Community Dog Show...for the 2nd or 3rd year in a row. Goofy, Gooooofy fun. And good exposure for the doggy lama. Just hope it isn't too hot.

Sunday, wide open. It's weird to have nothing planned at all...but I like it!

Saturday: Rearrange Furniture to clean house Sunday: Clean up from rearranging furniture to clean house.

Also need to figure out how to remove old cat-pissed on sofa from house, as I am on the second floor and live alone. I think it might be possible for me to push down the stairs, but I am not sure I can wangle it out the door of my apartment into the little tiny common area (much smaller than sofa) and then out the door.

AND- I know I've talked about this 300 times, but these are probably the cheapest I can get bookcases that I actually like, right?

Jessica, that's AWESOME. It's right on the shore!

Where down the shore, Trudy?

If the weather clears, we may try to do the Ren Faire this weekend. Other than that it's laundry, eating the ridiculous amounts of fruit we suddenly have around, and maybe the pool in Oswego (again, depending on the weather).

unless you want to see what thrift stores/re-sale shops/craigslist have to offer - that will probably close to the cheapest you could find. There might be cheaper online, but then you have shipping.

Sophia, anyone you can call to come help with the sofa? It probably would take only a few minutes.

Maybe. I don't know. I haven't organized anything. I was thinking of going to Clifton's Cafeteria because nothing says you are 37 more than eating food cafeteria style off a tray in a super kitschy place.

Clifton's is great! It's where we end the Tom Waits tour. Fascinating history, funky Redwood forest decor and the food is actually pretty good.

Happy birthday!

I've been looking for several years-- no one in Rochester seems to get rid off bookcases!

The thing with the sofa is that the people nearby are either too tall or too weak- My friend M. hurt her shoulder, so I she can't do it and her husband is 6'5" and every time I try to move a sofa with a tall man it ends up in some sort of disastrous situation with me being run over by a sofa while someone is pushing me down the stairs with it.

If I want to wait, I can have M's brother move it, but he is a very helpful person who will do things when he gets around to it, so it might be a awhile before he has time.

Happy birthday, Kat! Happy anniversary, Barb!

This is sadly emblematic of my life right now:

Asbury Park during the day, Seaside Heights at night. The friends I go to shows with all the time in AP actually want to go IN the ocean for once.

Up in Tuxedo? How long are you here?

Oh, I forgot Happy Birthday to Kat and Anniversary to Barb and her husband! Have great weekends!
