Aminal

It’s just too hot for me to go stand in Times Square.  I’m a weenie and will have to find other avenues to get a new wardrobe.  It’s all very sad. My boss is very disappointed in me.
I just printed out my itinerary info for vacay.  I need to get a car at 6:45AM on [...]

Bits and pieces

The TV show Wh@t not to Wear is having an opening casting call tomorrow in Times Square.  I was talking about it with our summer intern and said to her, “Too bad I have to work tomorrow.”  My boss passed by and replied, “you should take the day off.”  Um, thanks…I think.  I feel lazy about [...]

Swimming

I realized yesterday that despite my monthly event, I actually felt like my head was above water for the first time in weeks and weeks.  The weather was lovely and I made it to the pool after work, swam for over half an hour and made it home by 7.  I enjoy swimming outside at [...]

Devine Miss M?

This cat, who looks a lot like my P, has been at the shelter near my mother for 5 months.  She sounds a lot like my P–doesn’t like animals, doesn’t like the outside.  I want to call them today, but they are closed.  I will be visiting my mother in a few weeks to bury [...]

See that girl…

Yesterday I met J and we went to see Mamma Mia, which I enjoyed tremendously.  I enjoyed Remington Steele’s poor singing, I laughed at Colin Firth and Christine Baranski stole the show.  It reminded me of the Parent Trap except with singing.  I mean the Hayley Mills version not the ugly beastie remake.  Afterwards J [...]

High hopes

Thank you, Harriet, for writing Pumpkin’s eulogy.  I hope to take her remains to my mother’s place in three or four weeks so P can have a proper burial.
The weather here is FINALLY beautiful.  My friends are stepping in to fill the void left by Pumpkin–J suggested a movie, M has invited me to the beach, [...]

Flowers

My boss bought me some wildflowers to cheer me up.  My work people are great.
Yesterday was a strange day.  After saying goodbye to P, I swam, biked, bought sneakers, bought a pair of condolence earrings.  I looked like crap, but am doing better today.
I spent a good deal of time in the past 2 weeks [...]

Bye Pumpkie

Princess Poovis of Puddinville: ( 1993-July 23, 2008 )
After partial paralysis and seizures, Pumpkie was euthanized at 11:30 this morning. Everyone has been very supportive.

Coffee and Pee

This morning at *bucks I ordered my iced coffee and was waiting to pay.  The barista started to call my drink from the other side of the counter, “ICED GRANDE IN A VENTI CUP.  ICED GRANDE IN A VENTI CUP PLEASE STEP AROUND.”
I gave the cashier my money and shrieked, “I’M OVER HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” 
The cashier [...]

Eeyore Cranky

I’m just Mrs. Gloom this week.  In addition to worrying about Poovis, who this morning is refusing to eat food produced by my traitorous, fluid-giving hands, I am obsessed with this horror, which happened in the town where I grew up.  The explosion was 5 or 6 blocks away from our old house, and around the [...]
