After a long and guilty hiatus, this was my 9th day in row at the gym, where I very foolishly took a preview class of a new workout regime, meant to train the instructors. Tres humoresque. You know those times when you are so stupidly tired that your body refuses to accept instructions sent to it by your brain? I wish I could have been that ( Read more... )

While yes, I am doing the joyous dance of extended daylight hours, I am also doing the mighty pout of the thwarted wardrobe selection. Why? Because I wanted to wear prd_id=3311275&FOLDER<>folder_id=1644593&ASSORTMENT<>ast_id=41385&bmUID=1083355801013&DCLKSLOT=5> this tomorrow and the forecast says the high is going to be 55 ( Read more... )

Alas, home just one night and am again without my darling. Dave has to go sleep at a clinic tonight, so they can test him for sleep apnea, something suggested by his new doctor, who so far, he really likes. It was she who ordered the MRI for his knee and found the damaged cartilage and partially torn ASL, that his previous doctor missed (smites ( Read more... )

It's 3:40 PM and I am still in my PJs, despite my best intentions. Not that I got up late, I only slept 'til 10:30 (that is *not* late), but I was otherwise occupied, and unfortunately not on what I had planned. I blame Dave, who has talked me into helping him edit a 37 page story. We're on page 9. Oy ( Read more... )

Well, no more funage for us for a while. Seems it's time to get back to working on the house. We need to tear the down the brick around the front door so the stucco guys can come and do their thing. Once they're done, we get to start working on the irrigation system and landscaping for the front part of the yard. And when I say "we", I really ( Read more... )

I came home from NYC exhausted in the best way possible, we drank much and slept little, powered ourselves with caffeine and ate naughtily. But it was a happy exhaustion, of which I was still recovering from, when I started catching up lj Monday night. Then I did the stupidest thing possible: I read the "hate" and "bitch" threads. Wow, did that ( Read more... )

The trip to NYC was fabulous, which I realize is a cliche' thing to say, but how could anyone NOT love that town? We've never had a bad time there, quite the opposite as each trip, something really great and unexpected happens (like meeting Harrison Ford). This time though, it was triply good, we saw two fabulous musicals, had scrumptious dinners ( Read more... )

When D and I go on vacation we allow ourselves things that we don't during our regular life. This includes more alcohol and food than are good for us and the real zinger, caffeine. Now, I realize how boring our life must sound, if this is what we do when we get really crazy, but such is life in the slow lane. In any case, I invariably get a ( Read more... )

Great weekend which consisted of much shoe shopping. Lest you think it was all me, David bought 4 pairs. That's my boy :D

Am all packed now, as we are off to NYC and are leaving at ridiculous o'clock.

Traveling with some good friends: my ex and his wife Lisa. Thanks to her ingenuity, we've got tickets to see The Producers - the last week of ( Read more... )
