I am hanging out in DC with my BFF and her kiddo who is now six months old! We watched the opening of the new African American museum on CSPAN.

I'm off to a friend's house to hang with a group of women to learn/play mahjongg today! Tonight hanging with the spouse, tomorrow getting nails done and then going to see Magnificent Seven with friends.

Cats!

((msbelle))

Mmmm, hot and sour soup. That always is appealing but my sinuses are draining, apparently, so it really would be just the thing today.

Mahjong! Magnificent Seven! Wow.

I replaced the handle on my toilet and broke my lawn chair. I don't know what to expect from the rest of the day! Other than much lounging about reading the slightly spooky issue of Asimov's, which I am loving so far. Really geared to my taste this month.

I think I'll be lying on the couch, blowing my nose.

I'm terrible about returning things, even to stores, nevermind when I have to mail something back.

I'm awful about this. The UPS store is a mile from me and I still take months to send things back.

I'm cleaning the house today, for real. I don't want to! I want to read and eat chocolate. But after the last couple weeks of The Black Dog hanging around, I can't stand the state of my house anymore. So I'm embracing the misery.

Looking forward to Magnificent Seven! Gonna see it today or tomorrow.

Yay new kitties, Laura! Penny is very pretty.

All of this pastry on GBBO, I think I might need quiche for lunch.

One of the reasons I love ordering from Boden is the 365 day return policy. I bought K three possible dresses to wear to a family wedding and returned two of them 11 months later when we knew what size and her (always developing) preferences.

Today I am supervising play dates. Tomorrow there is a horseback riding lesson and then the carpenter is coming over to take a look at the stairs we want rebuilt so people stop falling down them.

So I trekked to Sally Beauty, and they didn't even have Madam President! I knew I should have called. I hope it's not too late to get it on the Internet.

It's still available on Amazon, Jesse. It's pinker than I thought, I was expecting more red, but it's a nice bold pink and looks good on pinky-white me. I plan to wear it all throughout November. If we all do, maybe the magic will work.

for the first time since the beginning of the summer, mac did not do all of his chores. I did not catch it until bedtime last night, so this morning when I got up, I deactivated his wireless and went to the gym.

Imagine my surprise when I come home and he is playing on his computer and skyping on his phone. So somewhere along the way he got the password to my locked wireless. We had words.

Passwords changing which I hate because I have to do the Tivo and then the wii.

I guess while I am doing this I might as well go in and change my yahoo password and everything else I use that is set to that password. THANKS YAHOO.
