and i still haven't found what i'm looking for

oh wait! i did find it!

i've been browsing target and tuesday morning and such for a cappuccino brewer, or at least espresso and i'll do my own damned milk. they are either too big or too expensive or too flimsy.

then i looked through the crate and barrel catalog.

oh la la. it's italian. it cooks the coffee and the milk at the same time on the stove, two cups at a time, on the stove. it's called bialetti cappuchino maker. i'd furnish a link but i'm too stupid to do that.

do you think it's a good thing? i'll order it if i get some concensus.

please advise.

it's seven o'clock and i wanna rock

i'm waiting the few minutes till 7:15 to meet linda and david at calvert's.

went to derby day in the de rigeur fairy skirt we got in athens years ago, when e got one and i got one. every time i wear it, and today no exception, someone comes up to me and wants to know where i bought it, it's beautiful.

this time it was someone whose name begins with b who knows david. she's a designer at weinbergers.

i picked the winner! street sense! i asked choppy and jackie and betty to claim for us if we won. i put david and sandy vantrease on the top of the bet.

also silent auction bet on some things, and bought wheelbarrow liquor raffles. saw tons of people.

i hope we made some money this year. there were lots of people but not as many as there had been.

i had thought to go to athens, to diana's going away party, but fortunately called her and it will likely be over by the time i get there, and since i'm coming on monday i'm just not doin it. linda and david said to call if i don't go and i can meet them for dinner so voila!

au revoir

oh happy day

when jesus walked
he wiped my tears away
oh happy day
oh happy day...

i left the office after seven.

yes, it's first friday and i closed it down. the second to last person was charlie, and he stopped to ask why i was there. when i explained, he agreed that i would be there tomorrow and maybe sunday also.

had a lot to do at work.

so.

i met mary and tim at while elephant and tried to call david neches but i have an incorrect cell number. so

there is a happy day ending to this story. but you know me, don't you?

i'm going the slow, circuitous route.

whist nibbling a kashi honey almond flax "tasty little chewy" and drinking a glass of lugano san benedetto italian white wine.

so please. i must continue.

no no i must tell you what's so lovely! right now!

after going to white elephant for a glass of wine, and then to veritas in case that's where karin and david are (they weren't, but we had a snack and another glass) IN THE MINI (do you know that tim doesn't fit? he does with the sunroof open tho)....we snail-fashion wended our way down broad street and i dropped them at the commons for the james brown birthday party concert and came home. ready to watch some netflix "little children."

oh wait, better check the mail.

OH HAPPY DAY!!!!!!!!!

so........should i open now or wait till tomorrow? tomorrow when I'll be hauling ass to the y, then to the setup deal that was invited to via email from chas marks at five pm today, then rushing to an 11:30 am appt with karen to see the house for cleaning purposes, then to the office, then to derby day?

i think i'd better open now.

pause....whist opening....

lessee...

okay.

it's blue and what's this? it's not closed?

it's got a little blue ribbon peaking out. the back of the envelope says "papyrus." (happens to be egyptian writing surface, and as a youngster in 4th grade i was enamoured of egyptian things)

awww. it's a big, bejeweled balloon help by a woman in a skirt. maybe a huge floral arrangement.

(damn. there's no cash.) hahahahahahaha

i love it. it's a mother's day car and a love letter. that's better than cash.

sorta. ;) jk i love you dv.

xxoo
