the haul
T decided that we should celebrate Mothers' Day today, since both days next weekend are devoted to other things (like hanging around with our mothers). So. Here is the haul:
*a blender. yay! milkshakes before bed tonight! par-tay! (I think we might really get crazy and watch some Twilight Zone episodes from the library, too... we are all about the Twilight Zone episodes these days.)
*a very nice iPod case, with coordinated but separately purchased ribbon to make myself a lanyard for it, since apparently nobody thinks iPods should have lanyards except me. Or maybe -- this just occurred to me -- the busy little companies whose sole purpose is to make accessories for accessories are all afraid of the lawsuits that would ensue (ensue! lawsuits! hee! I kill me!) if they ventured to make a product with a lanyard and people bought it and then they turned out to be defective and they started, you know, dropping people's iPods. Hmm. Drat this litigious lanyard-killing society! Or maybe lanyards on iPod cases are just dorky. I'm always the last to know.
(blender + iPod = Don't Try This At Home. And also don't blame me when you miss an hour's worth of work sitting and watching episode after episode of that little show. And by the way, that blender costs $400. It is not the one I got for Mother's Day.)
*a big bag of Twix miniatures.
*a lint roller. It was on my list! And I already used it, tonight, to get the cat hair off my tights before we went for my Mother's Day...
*dinner out at my favorite restaurant. Where I ate way, way, way too much, and the food was oh so yummy, and I did not have to plan, shop, prepare, cook, or clean up after ANY of it.
So I am feeling very smily and grateful (thank you family!) and I think I'll go curl up with my iPod and this hat I'm knitting and maybe a few (zillion) Twix bars. See you after the sugar coma wears off.

Happy Early Mother's Day, Rachel! I'm glad you had such a nice celebration. And thank you for reminding me that M's Day is just around the corner...

This article (I hope the link works [it does now :)]): link reminded me of T's company dinner last month. (Two months ago? I don't remember.) Anyway, it seems like all of New York sympathizes with you.
