Whoosh. Had a near miss today. I left my phone in the cart at Costco, which is also my wallet. I turned around as soon as I could and went back but no dice. Went inside to see if someone turned it in and they checked all the places but still nothing. Finally the Costco lady called it and it was picked up right away. She asked where they were - they were literally at my house dropping it off.

A good lesson in keeping your info updated, and in people being pretty decent on the whole, even though it sometimes seems otherwise.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Whoa, good luck on that one, Brenda!

Oh, good ending on that one, Brenda.

Day went/is going swimmingly.

I did find some more pep, too.

Did you swing by Pep Boys? Or was it more of a Dr. Pepper thing?

Whew! Pep stores now exhausted. Super fun day and evening, though. That worked out!

Pepto-Bismol. It's all I had handy.

It's the duct tape of medicines! It can do it all.

Quiet today.

Went to the DC Pen Show this morning. So huge, so many pens... so many gorgeous, spendy pens!

I bought a journal with lovely paper. Now I need to find my fountain pen, which is a work-a-day pen, so I don't know why I never use it.

Glad I reconnected with my friend at her b-day party yesterday. That was good. We are making plans to catch up one-on-one soon.

Lovely visit with my niece and her fiance. They are pretty darned darling together. Had a couple of my friends over, ordered Thai, and chatted the night away. Really pleasant. I am freaking lucky in the friends and family department.

That 100% includes glowy box friends, of course.

How are your weekends wrapping up?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Mr. S had another meltdown yesterday as we were leaving dinner for the concert. Lots of spitting and hair pulling. We had to pull over twice to try to get him to calm down. Also had to find a Target to buy some clothes as he didn't make it to the bathroom on time. Got to the venue and had to park in Outer Mongolia. Concert had started by the time we got in, and Gary ended up walking around with Mr. S for most of the show.

Also, I tripped on the sidewalk and scraped up my knee quite a bit. Not the best nights.
