at the same moment

It's so frustrating. i write these long insightful entries in my head, and i have no time to type them out for ages, until it's too late and there are too many and it all becomes just this little summary of my week. or whatever.

but i'm not worrying about that right now, because i'm exhausted. it's been such a long week, with mother's day upon us at the flowershop. and me staying up too late as well. i did feel like i lost a very valuble weekend going to st. louis. not that i was sad to go, i just wanted more! d came over tuesday night to help with the bags, then i got the rest of them glued last night. she picked them up today.

wednesday night i went to hear robyn at park west! i'll probably never hear a big electronic show at the allstate arena, no petshop boys or madonna for me, so it feel like it was that totally different experience in my own small way. you know, i'm used to chatty little folk singers who are a band with just them and their guitar, and they tell stories while tuning. i kept saying, wait, where are the backup singers? i hear them, but i don't see them.... but i did enjoy the concert, and i'm still in love with robin. i didn't bake her cookies, but i did almost take her roses.

at the same time i was at robyn, g was getting proposed to. she'll be marrying the boyfriend i don't like much in texas this october. so i better not return the gold shoes, cause i'll need to wear the blue dress at her wedding. i felt so vindicated by her telling me how she and all of her sisters think steve maddens are too uncomfortable to wear for more than an hour at a time. but mostly we talked about robyn (i mean, an engagement, what's to tell? a concert is where the stories are at. plus, i think she likes robyn more than i like joe)

fuck. i forgot to go to the library again. forgot= knew it was part of the plan after the bag lady was here, but when she left i just curled back up in front of the computer for a few more hours. i'm so unable to move. i'll have to drag them all to work tomorrow as penance. that and the stack of dimes i'll owe them for being overdue. and sadly, one can't renew overdue items online, so i can't even stop the dime hemmorage until tomorrow.

Disclaimer: i love and adore all things about all libraries. with the exception of the ocassional too-pungent homeless and LOC catologing. which i'm starting to get used to. so overdue books are more an embarrassment to me, the library is such a wonderful gift, how dare i take advantage of it like this? it's not, greedy bastards, if i wanted to pay i'd go to a bookstore. first, it's literally pocket change. second, they deserve every penny. i am glad to pay to keep things like libraries going. i'm just that glad i don't have to.
