I can get into the MOMA store without paying admission to the museum, right? I want to buy my niece something Tim Burton-y for her birthday.

Grrr. My sister told me that my dad was planning on coming down today, and I want him to take me to Costco. But I haven't heard from him so I don't know if it's going to happen or not.

(I don't want to call him because I want to see if he'll really come down here and do what he's intending to do without actually calling me first. Communication in my family can take some odd twists and turns and I want to see how this one plays out.)

Meantime, I'm sitting here. Well, I'm doing work. But I'd rather be going to Costco.

Yes. I'm pretty sure it even has a seperate entrance or an entrance before the museum admission desk.

I've never had a museum say "no" when I've asked to do that. The Empire State Building even let me go up to buy something my sister had admired the previous day.

Mac has already fucked up wrt the ds. Like woah! I am just livid. He is completely unrepentent and that is IT!

Oh man, msbelle.

Oh, msbelle. I'm sorry it is so tough.

It is 70 here. Going to see the place I am moving to again so we can figure where stuff is going to be placed. Will take pictures. My eldest has no interest in going to see the place. He has other stuff to do. He is less than thrilled about the idea of moving. The younger son is delighted so I guess it balances out. B Jr. is 18 and graduating, so if he doesn't want to move with us he can make other plans. Does that sound heartless? Just the facts of life.

Oh, man, msbelle. Good luck with Mac.

It's noon and all I've done is clean the kitchen and put together cinnamon-raisin bread to rise. Oh, and I paid a bill or two. Still sick.

It's beautiful here and I should take the dog for a walk but gah. So much to do, I just want to hide under my desk.

I'm watching a backlog of Craig Ferguson episodes and trying to decide what to cook today. My bonus and small raise showed up in my paycheck yesterday, so I'm going to indulge in retail therapy. Maybe later I'll do some yoga and watch Whip It as I have it from Netflix.

So I got this vacuum: [link]

Holy cathair, batman! FINALLY. I don't like that it empties like a dyson, but it was the only one that had everything I was looking for. I'll get used to it.

Man, the amount of cathair that came up. Old vacuum was REALLY falling down on the job, and not just literally.

Laura, that new place is incredible! I hope the move goes as smoothly as possible.
