Ch--ch--ch--changes
Meaghan saw the first non-green leaf of the season on Howlett Hill Rd. Wha..??? I HAVEN'T HAD MY SUMMER YET! (And so our Orlando visit is CRITICAL to my sanity!!! and to my ability to make it through a cold winter.)
Yes, I've been busy, busy enough to make me tired enough to fall asleep in my chair. I was positive I would never be one of those chair sleepers! The night of the Art Show I fell asleep while Dad was talking to me, and I woke up clutching the remote with a death grip. Now, there is a conspiracy going on here---no one wants me to have the remote---some sort of de-control therapy or something. I'll admit I do flip channels during commercials, but there are only so many car ads I can take. Also, if I'm going to be vegging in front of the tube, I might as well make the most of my time and see more, right? My current fav show is Project Runway, Wed at 10 on Bravo. If it ran against Survivor I would be hard-pressed to choose.
I went to see a movie along the same vein---"Devil Wears Prada" with Anne Hathaway of Princess Diaries. Talk about gorgeous clothes!!!! But like I told Lisa (scali) my nightmare job would've been like that---waking up in a closet-sized apartment in a huge, noisy city, dressing up in stockings and stilettos, and taking a taxi to a job in a bustling box, working with a bunch of fake beautiful-facaded back-stabbers. I left there feeling very underdressed, but happy happy happy that I have lived my life the way I have. I do think I'm ready to visit NY for a few days, though. I called Grandma Frances during that terrible heat wave to see how she was taking it (and yes, Grandpa was still sitting outside everyday baking in the 100+ sun). While we were having a nice conversation for the first time in ? long, it started raining in the dining room, just past the "arch" into the tv room. Whaaa the monkey??? See, the upstairs sink drain had been running slow, so Dad plunged it, and the clog didn't quite clear the pipe that crosses over to the tub drain....so then the tub drain was spewing some sort of black watery crud...and the, shall we say, vigorous, plunging of that led to an overflow of the water through the air vent of the close-the-drain mechanism....luckily the water that came down in torrents (for a few minutes) had been filtered so that it wasn't too dirty. Except for the sagginess you can hardly tell. If the ceiling had to come down to reveal the original high ceiling, oh well. But we do have other pressing issues first. There is a sinkhole of sorts that occurred in front of the Whitney side of the garage. The front wall of the garage basement caved in! and took with it the pavement in front of the garage door. (about 5'x3')I'm sure it has something to do with the leaky roof of the garage---it needs replacing. Hey I think I'll take a pic and post it here. I had the city here a couple of times. They tried 'fixing' our giant puddle, but the handfuls of tar just didn't work --duh!
Okay, let me post some pics. Let's talk soon.
