Month: April 2005

Doris and Jeremy all dressed up for their date.

Yesterday, I fixed my one tooth for the last time. Also had x-ray for all my teeth. Very strange, just one was in bad shape.

I checked out my motel this morning. Yesterday, they really cleaned my room with heavy doses of air refreshner with their next customer in mind. It almost killed me. I opened door for a long time and turned on the bathroom air fan all night. But, it did not help. It carries through even right now. Too bad.

I am in the office and ready to go. Tomorrow, my friend in Las Vegas and I will visit another close friend in Los Angeles. Three of us were together a lot while in college. He just had a quadriple bypass surgery. Hope he is doing well. Mom never figured out why three of us are so close because of our personalities. Well, sometimes, no good reason why? Just like Mom and I. We are very different also. Right?

It seems that way. I will let it dry out more for 3 weeks and test fully.

Last night, as I crashed into bed at 9 pm, fully grouched from a day with the kids, my sweet husband did all the dishes (more than a full load, because I had made a cake as well as dinner) and folded all the laundry piles. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Today is the day of our date, I’m going to pull out and wear some jewelry and not eat after noon today. Yum! Katherine is coming over with Trudy to look after the kids and spend the night.

Also, I’m happy to report that I am 25% of the way to rowing 1 Million Meters and getting that damn T-shirt.

Have a good trip mom and dad! Be sure to blog on your laptop or by going to your nearest public library!

How’s the camera thing coming? Did you need anymore help at all?

So there are a milion toys in the house, stuffed animals, trains, balls, puzzles and Legos. I might as well throw all of them out except for Peter Rabbit who has become a central figure in our family life. Maybe I should put a place setting out for him at dinner.

So Mom and Dad, I found the $200 check that you guys gave us for Xmas and I said that I lost. Turns out it was on a high shelf in our bedroom.

Just finished making an orange cornmeal cake, which, if Jeremy is reading this at work, will be ready for our after-dinner dessert.

I’m thinking that what I want for Mother’s Day is a trip up to the Finger Lakes region. I’d like to see Cornell again.

You’re Prufrock and Other Observations!

by T.S. Eliot

Though you are very short and often overshadowed, your voice is poetic
and lyrical. Dark and brooding, you see the world as a hopeless effort of people trying
to impress other people. Though you make reference to almost everything, you’ve really
heard enough about Michelangelo. You measure out your life with coffee spoons.

I woke up last night during a dream and I said to myself, ah, I gotta remember this dream. But this morning, the dream has been misplaced. Maybe it’s under a pile of laundry or something.

Jeremy is booking tickets to Geneva from JFK sometime today or tomorrow.. Our friend’s wedding is on June 25 in Grenoble and Katherine and Bob are celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary the week before in the South of France. The plan is to have all 4 children and partners and their 2.5 grandchildren there as well. I think maybe Charlotte will come too. Katherine has rented a B&B on Lake Geneva. Very exciting. Except for the fact that we don’t know exactly where we’ll be living. The worst case senario is that we’ll be living in Dresden, all together, and would have spent $3500 on unrefundable airline tickets. But Jeremy thinks that the Dresden thing is off and now we are just headed to Singapore after our European Vacation.

Ms. Pat told me yesterday that as soon as Vince goes outside for playground time, he asks her over and over again if it’s time to go inside yet. It got to be so often yesterday that she asked me if Vince doesn’t like being outside.
