Random Notes from a Friggin Friday!
1. Happy Birthday David Lee Roth!
2. L.O.U.S.Y. day at work yesterday....just one of those days you want to be OVER. My mother called right before I left work and needed orange juice so I ran to the store and brought it over before I went home. Got home grumpy and I think poor Ernie had to make a real effort not to strangle me. Got me a glass of wine, put a fire in the firepit, Dave brought me some cherry tomatoes and Ernie showed me the present a friend who was at our party dropped off. It's the new Kate Campbell cd (out next week) with a lovely inscription from her on the inside. I was so incredibly touched! What a wonderful gift!! So I eased out of my day and into my evening. Made some curried oven fried chicken which is one of my favorite comfort meals, a long with some lovely fres broccoli.

4. this is me being really bored while I wait for Ernie to drop the van off to be worked on:
5. Last night I told Owen that Aunt Judi will come and live with us sometime soon. He got a worried look on his face and said "BOTH grandma and Aunt Judi?" I had to laugh...it IS a lot to process. I explained that Grandma probably won't move in for a little while and that Judi will have the other bedroom upstairs. With that cleared up he got quite excited. I told him he would have to help walk Wally (her dog) and he was thrilled. Then he said, "oh wow, can we keep Wally when she dies?" and I was just struck quiet by his matter of fact question. God love children and their acceptance of things. I explained that Wally had another dog friend that he would go live with and he sighed and said, "well, can we keep him three days? I said maybe and kissed him and he gave me a big cheerful hug.
6. I'm so glad this week is over. I have a lot to catch up on this weekend---emails, phonecall, plans, etc. but I'm going to try to make it a good weekend for all of us. Hope it's good for you too....
