I have just plowed through my resources. Not a spoon left for love or money. The key was to put the uncomfortable stuff (involving changing rooms) up front, and leave the absolutely required until last.

Of all the stores I stopped in, I spent the most in the tea store. I have no idea how that happened. Well, aside from the multiple sorts of tea and the tea containers.

I also have a new kind of expensive bra. I tried on cheaper bras, but I don't want my boobs to look like that! Why do I have to have these breasts?

Huh. They did rob me, at the tea store. I just realised he sold me a $3 cup of tea that I really didn't need to have. Why am I so easy?

I just realized my general plan for tomorrow is to be out of the house for all of it. At least noonish to midnightish. Or more. Huh. Oops. Maybe there will be an afternoon nap at my parents'.

I have chillaxed on the couch now for an hour, now I need to motivate and clean my room. Again I ask, why did none of you all come to visit me this wknd?

I went to the Decatur Arts Festival and saw some artists some of you might like:

Ginger, you are a deeply kind person, but since my mother is kind of like your sister with respect to technology, I am going to suggest she call Geek Squad. If the phone ever comes back on - we finally were able to report the outage and they told us Wednesday!

So we are now in the Charlotte airport waiting for the flight to Dublin. I don't have a seat, but they tell us I will. We're meeting Kate and M. in a bar called The Library tomorrow at 3 - what could be better? And we'll see an old friend who lives in Greensboro NC but is from Dublin and happens to be in town this week. We get home next Friday (June 3) so smonster we should be fine for your prospective trip south.

Let me know if I can help, flea. Have a great trip. The Guinness tour is totally worth it, particularly since it comes with the very best Guinness at the end.

Have fun, flea!

I swept/raked up 2.5 bags of tree crap and then filled the last half with vines from the back. Got my swim in, shopped. Found another knit dress and a top for work. Have to hit the other Target for my juice though, they were out. aside: why is it whenever I find a juice I like, after about 6 months, it becomes scarce??! Let my neighbor's dog out to pee, started the laundry. I don't have anything more pressing to do tonight, yay!

Yay Flea heading for Dublin!!

sara, what kind of juice(s), I'm curious!

I am doing some laundry, and have done a tiny bit of cleaning. More to do.

Have a great trip, Flea!

I watched the French Chef, had an hourish nap, cleaned up my siding, watched more French Chef and now want another nap. There's a concert at my work tonight (a band called the Provincial Archive is touring provincial archives) that I feel obligated to go to, but naps are looking good
