So what'd YOU do tonight?


Wednesday, May 14, 2008

My saline is 4 oz and the liquid limit is 3 oz.  I need to go buy some 3 oz bottles to squeeze 3 oz of saline into it.

Bill was very zen about the whole thing and advised me to just release all my negativity about this before I get to airport security.  Get the bottle in the right size.  Fill it.  Put it in the ziploc.  Breathe.

To make myself feel better about the trip I bought myself a fabulous new LA-style wardrobe.  Actually I just bought myself some cotton skirts and panties from Target.  I am still ridiculously happy and looking forward to wearing my new outfits.

My list to do today is long - dog to kennel, register Girl Souts for camp, pack for me, pack for kids (they'll be with their dad while I am gone), etc.  I had to add "buy plastic bottle in the right goddamn size."  And I am working too.  La, la, la, or LA, LA, LA...

I'm having a slight panic attack about Los Angeles.  I will be there by myself.  I used to love that - going somewhere new and exciting and alone - navigating a strange city and finding a new comfort zone.  I don't love it anymore.  I have lost my sense of adventure and when I think about that I feel old and crabby about that too.

I am missing A's chorus concert, my son bridging into Webelos for Scouts, M's soccer potluck and last soccer game.  There's a whole hell of a lot of running around this weekend that I don't have to do, but in all, I will miss my kids and wish I was here this weekend.

I'm tired, my back hurts still, I have tons to do at work, my kids are in full blown end of school year activity mode, I am hungry all the time, and I am out of sync with Bill.  Going out of town will help all of those things a whole lot, dontcha think?


I voted this morning.  It's strange to me to have a primary this year.  The presidential caucus already determined our Democratic candidate votes.  I filled in circles anyway.

Whereupon BettyC Sings to Her Dog While Driving Sideways Down the Interstate in a Rain Storm

With Three Kids to Go See Route66 and HER Three Kids...
My kids are getting used to the video thing.  We've been playing with it this weekend.  There is nothing very notable about this one except that I look awesome (I'm going to a Middle School Open House - that's what I am saying.) and my kids are still not sure what to do with the video.  It cracks me up.  Both of these are in the car (I spent more time in the car this weekend then I like, but less than my stepdaughter who drove across the state this weekend.) and they're both sideways.  Lessons learned all around, I think.  When in doubt?  Smile or wave at the camera.  And hold it horizontally.  I don't have the right software to edit.  And my camera is pretty limited with video.
I had a fantastic weekend.  Pulled weeds in the rain.  Went to see my friend.  Stayed up too late drinking margaritas and watching 80s movies but made it to church on time anyway.  Cried as I stood at church as the congregation sang a blessing for the mothers.  Read the New York Times on the patio at Route's.  Came home to grill hamburgers with my husband.
