It's a Saturday morning and I'm just hanging out here with my Egg-Nog Latte, looking around and silently listing all I would like to get done today.
- Take Grace to the groomer.
- Stop by the Christmas store and get the neighbors each an ornament for the Christmas get-together.
- Print the invitations to the Christmas get-together so the neighbors know about it.
- Decorate the tree.
- Hang up the clothes that are draped over the chair arm next to me.
- Wrap presents.
- Figure out how to get my mom to move to Memphis. (Other than having 6 babies!)
- Maybe, if I'm good, go to the bookstore.
It's going to be a great weekend!
I got to go out with girls last night. I still haven't met many friends here. We went shopping, ate dinner and drank margaritas. I had not much margarita. We were in Olive Branch, MS and I needed to be able to drive home.
I am so grateful Alan got me a car with GPS. I would be in Louisiana by now, kidnapped and flying down the bayou on a swamp boat looking for the Devils Eye with Teddy, without it. My North/South/East/West is no good out here.
Now the song
Someone's Waiting For You is in my head. The one at the end of side A on the LP record version. The sad song. Great. Now I'm crying.
I love that
this is a government website. I imagine a little man with a Casio keyboard on his lap and his monkey in a tiny red suit and hat are sitting somewhere in Washington recording music for this website. And getting paid to do it. Just think, there is a line somewhere in the big ol' US budget called Electric Keyboard Children's Music for Website - $521,670.00. The children don't have books in the schools, but don't cut the Elevator Music Budget! We neeeeeed that!
