*Yaaaaaawn*

G'morning, bunnies!!!!

Last night was an exercise in annoyance. First I discovered that the videotape I thought had been returned to the rental place was still in the damn VCR!!! Then I remembered that I had to get an extra ticket for the Alice Neel opening I got talked into going to. (The fun has worn off much of the openings for me.) And to relax, I popped in my new Dame Darcy videotape--and heard this grinding sound!! I ejected the tape and discovered it was broken inside. So chalk up one phone call to set the wheels going for returning and replacing it...*Sob! I really wanted to see it!*

And as I was drifting off to sleep, full of spring rolls and echinaecia, I realized I threw out a bag that had some crystals I'd bought!!! So I jumped out of bed,rooted in the garbage and realized it was safe in my purse...

Grumble...

But this morning was muchbetter...


Ms Eff...Morning, critters!!

today's shaping up well.

I got my tickets without any hassle and free!

The Fairy GodMonster struck again, leaving me a mechanical pencil with a little mase inside!
(You jiggle the pen around to make the ball go through one end to the other.) Coooooool!

I got my ac unit cleaned and ready to go by the window so the maintenance guys can set it up.

Free breakfast-stuff today! (Pita bread and hummus, dates, strawberries, doughnuts, rice-krispy bars with chocolate frosting...I'm spoiled, yeah I know it!!)

And I got paid!!! *Dances around check with glee*


And it's FRIIIIDAY!!

Ms Chocolate-Maus, feeling buttery and creamy today.

I made the E-Z-Bake coven!!!

(Happy dance of glee)

You can peek at me and my new sisters over here!

(wow, I only applied yesterday--how's that for seriously fast?)

So I'm pleased as punch.

Ms Eff, C'mon, click!!! I know ya wanna!!! Click with me!!!

There's a storm brewing outside..

It's been raining all morning, and a coworker just told me that in Plymouth and New Hope people are being warned to seek shelter.
(But we're told that a lot when the storms aren't too bad. But sometimes if we're wrong, whooosh! We end up in Oz. Or on top of someone's trailer home.)

I love storms.

Ms ChoccyMaus, looking warily at the sky, making sure there isn't a doublewide about to fall on her.
(Hey, I don't even have the stripey hose today!!)

Squooshy poetry alert!!!

You're sitting in your kitchen
drinking coffee with the dregs
of sugar
from a source of quiet loneliness.

I'm sitting
by a counter full of postcards
of places I've never been to,
drinking green tea and lemongrass
from styrofoam,
and getting lipstick smeared around the rim.

She's sitting
in a cubicle
with pictures of her children, growing up
drinking coffee
from a slightly stained coffeecup, waiting for the clock to release her.

He's sitting
in an office with pictures of her, smiling at him.
Watching the clock to release him
so they can be together more, more, still more...

We're all sitting
in various chairs.
some swivel and spin, some are lumpy,plastic, or large overstuffed couches.

She thinks of coffee, of her daughter, of him.
He thinks of his bills, of his happiness, of her.
You think of someone you loved, dead and gone..

I think of you.
