Going to Austin on Monday, staying for a day or two. So looking forward to good Mexican food! And non-suburbia!
Working on Ch 2 of The Wedding and hope to be done... by late Christmas.
My mother* has developed this annoying habit. It's similar to
bk11 in the disgusting familiarity between roommates. I was sitting at the computer, trying to do bills while my mother was sitting there just blatantly picking her nose. I mean, not even trying to hide it, no kleenex, no nothing. At first, I didn't really notice. I was going back and forth between her and the computer and thought maybe I just "caught" her. But on the third time, I realized she was digging. Without tissue. And when I confronted her, she said,
"It's a fact of life."
"That's disgusting. You're not even using a kleenex."
Mother* plucked a kleenex from the box and jabbed her kleenex-covered finger up her nose. "There, is that better?"
"Yes, much. I can tolerate that."
*And by mother I mean
subwayslasher.
