Hello, everyone! If you have my work e-mail, would you PLEASE e-mail me?! Tell me how you've been . . . cut and paste an e-mail with your posts . . . ANYTHING! i am missing you all so much . . .
Work is hitting the busy season, Roni started school today and is now officially a first grader, my angel is so fantastic that i still wake up in the middle of the night sometimes just to stare at him and kiss his face . . . life is doing pretty good.
We are working out a schedule that gives everyone time with everyone else so no one is neglected and working on saving some money and eating better foods and doing all those normal things that baffled us for so long and now seem 'right' and suddenly make sense.
i taught Angel rummy and he kicked my ass the first time, we came out close the second time, and i stomped all over him last night. i have to admit we were not feeling well last night, though. We were both so tired, i had a miserable headache, and his stomach was killing him, so i had a huge advantage ~ when my head is bad, i concentrate better and i know the game better than he does.
Saturday was tire shopping and playing with the animals at Petsmart followed by a small gathering at Les' house. Les is a friend of the family who remembers when i was bald and in diapers, but he is so great. There was much delicious food and flowing liquor and a charming game of "Get Drunk & Find the Gecko"! The part of Texas we live in has tons of the little darlings and one was making a play for the comfort of indoors when the back door got slammed on him . . . well, it was most likely very late at night when it happened, so Les didn't see it and he's now dried and rock hard on the top of the door! It was one of the funniest looking things . . . this little lizard's head and front legs staring into the kitchen and the little tail sticking out the back of the door! (i laughed myself silly, but then, i had a few before he showed us)
Sunday was work for me but not Angel and he took me to see Evolution which totally kicked ass . . . After that, we hung out at his place with his roomies for a while and then headed home to my cheese and pickle sandwich and some Rummy. When he started dozing off in the middle of the hand i refused to play anymore and put my baby to bed.
Well, it's time to sign off and get my girl, go have dinner at the parents' and do some laundry . . .
By the way ~ Roni's first day went well, her psycho friend from last year is in her class again this year and they were so happy to see each other, the laundry is done now and i just realized that Roni needs shirts with sleeves as all her summer shirts are tanks and halters and she can't wear those to school, and dinner went well. i stomped Angel again in Rummy and didn't like that much. i play Rummy like a bitch and was not very nice to my baby. i apologized and put Rummy down to once a week so i don't have to be a bitch to him often.
Go now, and e-mail me! Tell me how you've been!
No song today, either, but go find a book by
James Thurber
because he rocks the English language in ways you could only imagine!
