bring on the cake!

first off, i must wish a very happy 9th birthday to miss rowan of worcester, mass. happy birthday, beautiful!
i’m turning into a houseproud homebody. yesterday, instead of going out and enjoying what was left of the non-wet weather, after my dad stuffing me with pancakes, i went grocery shopping then came home to cook and clean. christopher & jen came over and we had a yummy sit-down meal and i didn’t even really mind doing the dishes i was so content to be the hostess. so weird.
why don’t people use their turn signals? seriously, drivers, it’s the ONLY means you have of communicating to your fellow road-warriors what the heck you’re thinking of doing. nothing perturbs me more than someone just changing lanes or making a right-hand turn without singnaling their intention. gah. even just thinking about it makes me sputter. GAH!
while wandering the maul saturday evening in a vain attempt to cheer me up, i think chris & i found a very likely candidate for my new couch. it looked nice, it was comfortable, and, if i buy it before the 20th, i don’t have to pay for it for a year! i will probably go back sometime this week to just double-check its butt-worthiness. i just have to remember to wear slip-on shoes so i can quickly remove them for proper tv-watching positioning.
btw, i just have to tell the internets how amazingly awesome christopher is. really, i’m so very lucky. to paraphrase ‘the sound of music’, somewhere in my wicked past i must have some something good.
