Oh man, Tom's post made me look at the food truck map. I could go to the grilled cheese truck that's 10 minutes away, but I'm supposed to be here for a conference call that may/may not happen. What to do, what to do?

This weekend is the big HS band BBQ for the incoming freshman. I have to talk to 40 or so parents, not my strong suit - I'm sorta dreading it.

Weekend: Ethiopian food, Harry Potter exhibit at Discovery. Not sure what else.

tonight - baseball game tomorrow - breakfast with the older men's group at church, asking for volunteers - then training with VBS volunteers - then maybe driving to see grandmother for the afternoon and driving back Sunday - church, clean house, maybe yardwork

but I so want one after hearing about your real-life Angry Birds, Liese.

They are so awesome. They are their own little military cadres out there. And fearless. I dunno what the dog thinks about them; their feeder is hung on his kennel fence. There's another one that's a window suction cup version in the sunroom, which is muy fun to watch since they're so close, but it's much much smaller and requires a lot more work than the big one.

I hope you remembered your water, Liese.

Nectar is achieved! Now it just has to cool down and I have to go through the normal yelping process that comprises refilling the feeders.

And I do have angry bumblebees bumbling against my window, so yeah, it does draw the buzzies as well as the birds. And finches drink regularly from this feeder too.

Weekend: Gah, I can hardly believe it's the weekend. Last week wiped me out so bad that this week has just vanished. Actually this weekend is kind of light. There's no church this Saturday night, and I don't go when it's Sunday, because I go somewhere else, so Saturday is actually totally clear for once. Sunday might be super busy or it might be chill. If so, it'll be yard work, yay! And administrative catch-up from last week.

We're done with School#2 for the year, because their kiddoes have a field trip during next week's lesson time, and eighth grade graduation during the following week's. I'm a little sad about that; it ended with a lot of anticlimax. But I'm also ready for it to be over.

Today, though, today I have tasking to do. Laundry, admin, housecleaning. We were almost throwing a concert tonight too, which I'm so glad we didn't end up doing. Too tired!

And I want to do my nails this weekend too. They're kinda a mess right now.

Tonight: The Feelies

Tomorrow: Street Festival, maybe a film screening, plus some work.

Sunday: cleaning

Dawn just made me want a grilled cheese sandwich. I am home sick with sick Casper, who is watching the excellent Peter Pan with Jason Isaacs. We both have colds; we're not that sick, really. But I would have gotten more rest being sick by myself.

Sorry! I am blowing off the conf call, and heading to get grilled cheese (with bacon and tater tots) right now!

I need to go shopping for home and for something to give out to the VBS volunteers. They want it to be some cheestastic punny tie in gift thing - the theme is food related and so some suggestions were boxes of ziploc bags that we put notes on that say - "teaching vbs is your bag" or a pack of blank recipe cards with a note " you've got the ingredients of a great leader"

I think I hurt feelings yesterday when I said I though that was cheesy and couldn't we just have donuts, coffee, and some fruit.

This weekend?

Tonight: laundry & a long dog-walk, unless I get email from one of my climbing pals to do that (which would necessarily be followed by dinner & beer).

Tomorrow: sit with my mother in the AM, then probably more laundry. And I have to read the book for book club this weekend (The Member of the Wedding), so that's probably tomorrow. Maybe a run.

Sunday: run, then climbing, then I have a party in the city to go to.
