i had the day off and i slept in a lot. i finally got up and showered, dressed, bitched at for all of life�s little problems and took Ronica to Le Madeline's to have lunch.
She took her usual - the tomato basil soup and the home made spiced ruffled chips. i had my usual potato gallette but i had it with a tiny quiche Loraine and a small cup of French onion soup (or should i just say 'onion soup' as it is a FRENCH cafe and should go without saying that the onion soup would be FRENCH?). i love that place - it's so good, even the tomato soup tastes good!
after lunch we went shoe shopping as all good mother/daughter days should involve shopping and shoe shopping is just about as good as it gets. Ronica got some white running shoes and some strappy black dress heels and tried one some cool stuff off the clearance rack for a while but we were good girls and only bought the shoes before heading back home.
when we got home, Angel was still in a snit-friendly mood and i was snitty right back and all for no real discernable reason. it has been wearing on us both so i decided to re-do Ronica's room and so she and i did. the first thing we did was set up her stereo and throw in all three Dixie Chicks CDs and the Garth Brooks double live album. yes, i know that was a nasty, dirty, low-down, no-good trick, but it kept him away while i calmed down AND got something productive done AND spent more quality time with Ronica. i even got her little flowerbox thingy hung up for her to stash all her remotes in! she is so happy with the new setup because she can now watch TV in bed without sitting up and wont lose all her remotes. i'm happy because there's not enough room to get between the bed and TV but enough of a gap that she isn't right up on it as she is wont to do. she also agreed to give up most of the toys she had left so now she has even less to make a mess with!
next week, we hit the closet and dresser. wheee.
after i finished vacuuming in her room, Ronica declared that it was 7PM, DINNER TIME, and that she needed Chinese food tonight. within half an hour we were out the door and on our way! Angel and i had a serious discussion about things to do to cut the stress level at home that we bring from work etc. Glorianna met us up there, ate with us, and then came back to the apartment for assistance in setting up her hotmail and then she got to chat with my Sexy Mexiwok and then we all talked about houses and roommates and the possibilities of getting a house and being roommates.
it was a productive day but now it must come to a close . . . and boy am i tired.
catch you later my darlings!
