things about today
- T was off work yesterday because his back was (is) out. This means that I keep forgetting that it's Tuesday -- which is not only the day I pay bills, but also, in this particular instance, my mother's birthday; good thing that I remembered long enough to at least have C call her at work.
- I really feel like going for a walk, except
- it is so hot out that the cooler is barely keeping up at 9:00 in the morning. Way to go with the abrupt change of seasons, there, God. I'm sure you have a fantastic reason for it. We'll adjust. Thanks.
- My feet still hurt from wearing high heels (yes, the cute black-and-white ones) at a chorus concert last night. This is the closest I ever get to feeling the effects of hard partying in the morning. Whew, yeah, that was a wild one.
- C, who says she is "Anakin's little sister", is taking apart the works from her light-up-vibrating-head-song-playing duck. Or actually, it's my duck. She has itty bitty screws all over the couch and she is really intent on fixing the head-vibration function. I'm kind of hoping she messes the whole thing up, since I got tired of the "squeeze here for a computer-chip rendering of a familiar song" stuffed-animal gimmick about three seconds after it was invented. Chances are, however, that she'll actually fix it. Drat.
- We are thinking about renting out the apartment we use for school and guests (but not the garage underneath it). Eek! This is because we are also thinking about buying this house, and that would enable us to do it. Double Eek! No, wait, triple Eek!
- I am a bad, bad girl, because I'm on the computer without having done my Bible reading first. Someone smack me.
- OK, while you're at it, smack me for all the other days I've done that too. Which is, these days, pretty much every day. Sigh.
- I am shuddering in disgust already at the google hits I'm going to get from having "smack me" and "high-heeled" in the same paragraph. GO AWAY SCARY GOOGLERS. NOTHING TO SEE HERE.

Hehe.
I get the WEIRDEST stuff (I know, I know, we've talked about this before). I wrote a post about resisting the Devil, and now I'm getting some Google strings that are a wittle scawy.

Still love the shoes. Also, that is exciting (yet eek-worthy) news about the house! Good for you!

(you know who I am; i'm just too embarrassed to leave my name....)
you forgot "vibrating"
;-) Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Well, I'm happy that you are taking action to be able to buy your home, but I am desperately saddened by the fact that I will not be the one renting your apartment. I won't be able to come visit either, for that matter. Wahhh...Now I'll have to stay in Nubia's room.

Jenn, should I even tell you that my plan is to tear up the rugs and refinish the hardwood underneath, in the living room and little alcove room? Maybe THEN you'd come rent it? :)

OK, I was wrong. It was Amos's Catholic-school training that kicked in. :-)

Well, Jason and I could get all fat and go on disability so we'd have money!
