Random Notes from the Sandwich Life

1.  The other night as we were picking up before the Bottle Rockets house concert Owen paused and said, "Mom, is that pregnant girl coming to this one?"  I thought for a minute and realized he was talking about our friend Amy who was at the Eric Brace and Peter Cooper show....ON her due date no less.  I told him no, that she'd already had her baby, but wasn't coming, and he said, "Oh, because I had the pillow for her back ready if she was coming."  And THAT is why I put up with any of his less than enchanting moments.

2.  Last night Ernie and I were sitting on the porch waiting for our friend V'ron and her son to arrive and there were two cable trucks on our block with flashing lights.  A cable emergency?  Why do cable trucks have flashing lights? It made the block seem quite dramatic but kinda confused me.

3.  Shouldn't coasters be, by their very nature, absorbent?  Because the smooth, shiny kind that I have my drink sitting on right now just let all the condensation roll right off onto what it's not supposed to.

4.  Ernie and I just went to Target because A. the boys were out of underwear and we still don't have a washer and dryer.  Ernie actually considered going to the laundromat until I said, "Oh good god no....let's just buy some.  B.  I needed a frame for our Bottle Rockets/Mark Gerking poster and C. we bought some mucinex in hopes of dislodging the small animals that have taken up lodging in my throat.

5.  I also threw in some mascara because hell....mayble I'll make an effort one of these days and last time that occurred to me I found I no longer even OWNED mascara....not even dried up tubes that you use just to make yourself feel like you're making an effort...

6.  I want to go do yardwork but my bed is calling a HELL of a lot more loudly....
