3:49 pm	I never get up full of the joys of the morning. I always stay up far too late. I usually plan far too much each day and achieve something entirely different. I sometimes am convinced that our ship will come in. Though not in a Navee tattooed crew-cut kind of way... More in a Teutonic resolute and immovable sort of fashion. More coffee? More gin!

9:36 pm	Another round for Sue Pistachio is the green rather icky yogurt that Max picked to have at the Apple cafeteria on Monday. Pregnant is what I wish I were but realize I probably won't ever be again. Pill - never taken it and never will. My dad worked in the reproductive pharmaceutical world and I learned enough from his colleagues to just say NO. Placebo - now these I just love! :) Pink is my least favorite color in the world and I abhor the way my little niece is being brainwashed into pinkosity despite her hairy lesbian parents best efforts. Punk rock is what I once considered myself to be because my boyfrind had green hair that he dyed himself with easter egg dye or jello or something. Ick. Paperwork - I have an unnatural fear of all things paperwork. Especially forms, eek! Piffle is an enjoyable word that Max and I picked up from Piglet. Piranha is the fish that two kids in Max's preschool class were pretending to be as they slid down the bunny hill. Pedantic people get on my tits. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

8:19 pm	Waiting to drive to the Oakland airport zzzzzz The Keys to Your Heart You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free. In love, you feel the most alive when your partner is patient and never willing to give up on you. You'd like to your lover to think you are stylish and alluring. You would be forced to break up with someone who was ruthless, cold-blooded, and sarcastic. Your ideal relationship is comforting. You crave a relationship where you always feel warmth and love. Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment. You think of marriage something you've always wanted... though you haven't really thought about it. In this moment, you think of love as something you can get or discard anytime. You're feeling self centered. What Are The Keys To Your Heart? (1 Comment |Comment on this)

11:23 am	meme You are Agonistic You're not sure if God exists, and you don't care. For you, there's no true way to figure out the divine. You rather focus on what you can control - your own life. And you tend to resent when others "sell" religion to you. What's Your Religious Philosophy? (2 Comments |Comment on this)
11:00 am	Wedding wonderings 1. How many weddings have you attended? At least 10. One of the most wonderful ones was in Wales and one of the least wonderful was in Big Basin, California. 2. Wedding registries: buy from the list or freestyle it? Leap on the list like a mad woman to stand a hope of nabbing the elusive items which fall below $60, yet do not require buying single kitchen utensils or pillowcases. 3. Are you more likely to slow dance or participate in the chicken dance? (grins) Being shackled to an German man for these last 13 years, the Chicken Dance holds a special place of pain in my heart. My Dh will run screaming from the room when those pained wheezing tones begin to trickle out of a tweeter. That said, I would much rather shake mah bootee to something fast and fun than engage in the high school waddling slow dance exhibition. 4. The garter find/toss experience: cute or tacky? When removed with teeth, repulsive. Tastefully and teasingly slipped down the thigh to the strains of "Big Spenda", tolerable. 5. If you could marry someone famous, who would it be? Hmm... I am fascinated by Bowie. His music, art, self portraits, you name it. And he is incredibly wealthy and intelligent and easy on the eye. However, he teamed up with wackaloo Damien Hirst in England some years back to buy an island and install a labyrinth complete with minotaur in the middle. (said minotaur being composed of a bull and a hapless individual who has volunteered to be the other half. One stalling point in the little project, said twit has yet to snuff it) Current Mood: Calves aching from beach Current Music: Wedding March (Jimi H, natch) (Comment on this)
