Love, love, LOVE the Downy Ball! And the new stackable washer/dryer combo in my apartment; no more schlepping seven loads of laundry worn so long ago that I forgot I even *had* fun, pink-yellow-orange striped underwear purchased at 75% off at Victoria's Secret big "bra sale." (Why is it called the bra sale if everything is on sale? If I only ever buy [more] fun pj's and cotton underwear, can I still call it the "bra sale?")

MMM... Day off with no real agenda... Must update portfolio CDs... Must stop watching Road Rules marathon and taking naps. Although I did pay bills while watch crappy MTV show, so that completely counteracts Lazy Fun Nap Factor, right? Yeah, no...

I also had a therapy appointment, got last few supplies for new round of job app packets, ran dishwasher. If I go buy decorative sand at Pier One and get dog treats at Petsmart and go to Barnes and Noble, but ONLY for therapy homework reading, that's still being productive, right? Riiiight.

Oof-ah. I think I need to Mach Schnell myself....
Hallo, Readers in Blogland!

Just had a whirlwind weekend with my mom in Miami. We had a good time, and it was fun to show someone I love all some of the fun places here. I give my mom a lot of credit for mastering the video camera we gave my dad two years ago. There is a very um, interesting? (I use that word loosely) video of my funny pets, my apartment, my friends Miguel and Alejandra (who just started middle school, the only friends I had over the summer :), my walking the dog with the cat in his little carrier cat backpack, and an interesting sequence of me simultaneously capturing a lizard in my living room and trying to (unsuccessfully) convince my mother that lizards do, in fact, have the ability to run up vertical walls at 1:30 a.m. yesterday morning.

In other news, I bought a Downy ball. That's it. More tomorrow! Have a good week!

Mmmm... I just woke up from a deep, deep sleep. I slept like it was my job, as I worked 8 days without a break. Which is good, but mmmmm....sleep.... in my bed....

Bed. Bed-bed-bed.

My mom is coming to visit for a long weekend. I am excited to have someone I knew before I moved here come visit and meet Fred, as opposed to getting phone calls from him as he bats my cell phone around under the bed at 3 a.m. or being the recipient of lots of unsolicited pictures of my pets.

Fred. Fred-Fred-Fred.

It will be good to see my mom, though, too. Right? Right.

I just. want. an Invisible Force Field to surround my car. All the Time.

Sigh....

Birthday message to Kel, albeit belated, coming soon... :)

And, all of you, stay away from pickup trucks with bumper stickers that say "Women love me; Fish fear me."
