blue roses

i forgot how busy it is to work mondays. a big order for a office that's moving today. so lots of work, but no cash in. ch and i were crazy till about 2, then there were no more orders to take, so we went slowly crazy. have i mentioned yet i'm all into sudoku? i've been picking up the stupid free red eye newspaper every morning to do it. i'm trying to get ch into them, but he's afraid of numbers. he picked up his red eye today too, and so he said we should have a competition. i beat the pants off him, finished, went to the bathroom, gave him a clue, and swept the floor before he finished.

but it was only his second one... and he finished, isn't that what's important? plus, he totally whooped me on the crossword puzzle. so if all those song lyrics don't keep the alzheimers away, our newspaper puzzles will.

we were really slow this afternoon. the driver was sad. i was sad. ch was sad. even the flowers were sad.

just kidding. i was happy, because i am still in love with erin mckeown! both ch and laura gently made fun of me for sending her cookies. but it was her last stop on her tour, she's going home now, and besides, my postcards from g just came. she has her art store set up. (i'd like to think this one was at least inspired by me, but i think that's a bit cocky.) ANYWAY, how could anyone with the new album not be tempted to send erin mckeown

i have birds in my heart? i mean, really, please. i didn't even have to send the cookies.

after work i went to the library and got a delightful selection of books. had to go to the grocery store, AGAIN. by that time it was too late to cook, so i just bought mozzarella and cherry tomatoes... they were on sale, ok? and now i have a three cheese basil and tomato salad in my fridge. life is good. that's one of my favourite things about laura. how she makes me see how good my life is. i'm never very impressed, but telling her about it makes me look like this amazing artistic creative domestic hippie diva. come on. who wouldn't want to be that?
