one more photo…

he went to the statue of liberty. i don’t know why i never managed to make it there all the times i visited. i like this picture a lot.

photo of my building

r. (rupert) got back from NYC, and here’s a photo he took of the w.r. grace building. i like to think of it as mine.

GRACETALK #3!

i’m VERY EXCITED, because i just found out i’m going to get to do a Gracetalk at First Night! put it on your calendar right now, it’s THIS NEW YEAR’S EVE at 10:00 p.m.! the show is only going to be 45 minutes long, so that’s not a lot of writing for me to do, but i...

birthday festivities are (finally) at an end…

…well, for me, anyway. it’s 1:07 in the morning here in denver, and i left the piano bar about 15 minutes ago. the symphony was fun, the conductor wore a pirate costume, all the people in the orchestra were dressed in costume, including a horn section wearing...

p.s. harriet miers

thank goodness she withdrew today. this morning christine and i were listening to the radio, and they said something about how she was practicing her question and answer for the hearings, and she was having problems SPEAKING LOUDLY ENOUGH. plus, i guess arlen spector...

continuing birthday celebrations….

christine is playing me a song by the band Weezer right now. she said maybe i’d heard it on the radio, but i just shook my head – i don’t listen to the radio enough to hear much music, and if i did happen to hear something, i usually never know who actually...

happy birthday, christine!

she wasn’t happy that she had received NO birthday greetings this morning. so here’s one. and i’m sure there will be plenty more today… ok then, grace

gettng later in the day here in denver…

i really started working on my paper, not quite sure how long i did it – maybe an hour? maybe not. but then i got a couple of nice phone calls, and then i got a nice e-mail, and so things continue to be good, although i’m not (never) accomplishing enough. but...

NIRVANA ACHIEVED in denver

i’m sitting on christine’s little front porch. the sky is dazzling blue, and it’s SO WARM. the temp. says 66, but it feels warmer. i strolled down the block to the wild oats grocery store, and wished i’d brought shorts with me. amazing. so, WHO CARES if nobody loves...

UNLOVED at 11:25 mountain time

i’ve been sitting here busily working working working on website things, and suddenly it’s almost noon, and i’m about to go running…however, i just checked my e-mail and i have NO MAIL from anybody, and my phone HAS NOT RUNG. except once, some guy wanting to...

10:11 a.m. mountain time

christine will be at work till after four, unless i call her and say i’m bored, in which case she’ll come home. but i AM NOT going to spend my whole day sitting here, looking things up online, goofing off! no sir! i’m going to run, i’m going to fix my english paper,...

one more thing at 9:42 a.m. mountain time

christine just left for work. WHEW, she has a taxing life. almost as taxing as mine. i might go running really soon, because it was only 44 about a half hour ago, and suddenly it’s 57! crazy, in a very good way. here’s one more photo. this is from my weekend of...

denver in the morning

it’s beautiful and sunny, but pretty chilly right now, so i’m waiting around for it to warm up, and then i’ll go running. i can run way down the street, and eventually i get to the park, and then i run back, and it’s uphill a little, a very good run. yesterday on the...

denver!

whew, here i am in denver. it’s warmer here than spfld. i’m very tired, and christine and i are sitting here on her couch, both of us with our computers in our laps. this is very funny, i think. she said we could IM each other if we want. my flight was incredibly...

B+, plus more

there’s SO MUCH i want to write right now, but it’s almost midnight, i was going to be in bed by 11, but somehow that didn’t happen. i got a B+ on my first english paper. not bad, considering that it’s been a really really long time since i’ve written an english...

grey monday

i’m leaving tomorrow afternoon for denver, where it’s going to be SUNNY. do you think we’ll have any more sun here this year? i hope so. i have photos from the pumpkin thing at the park on saturday night, but i don’t have the camera cord with me right now, so i can’t...

brrrr….

i went to see “jekyll & hyde” again, and boy, i’m sad i don’t get to see it anymore. the place was packed again, thank goodness, but i wish there were going to be more performances so more people could see how amazing it is. i can’t imagine ever...

post-run

i was only going to take noodle, the beagle, but numie was frantically, FRANTICALLY pawing over and over and over on the gate to the dining room, wanting so desperately to go with us, so i took both of them for my run. tomorrow, i think i’m going alone. for the first...

rethinking the kisses…

i ate one this morning, just because the bowl was there, and to see if they were REALLY REALLY all stale. the one i had didn’t taste so bad, but maybe it’s because i’d just gotten up and wasn’t fully awake. it looks like a beautiful day out there, so i’m going to take...

underneath the kisses…

when i got back here to a & j’s house, i tried another hershey’s kiss, just to make sure they’re ALL stale. It was. oh well. but then, i noticed DIFFERENT CANDY UNDER THE KISSES. they were faux york peppermint patties. i ate one. it was all right. not like the...

friday afternoon

and i think i see the sun coming out! i’ll go for a little walk before my next massage. i did something good for somebody this afternoon; i gave a free massage to a woman who lived in apartment on the beach in biloxi, and she’s staying here now with relatives, because...

let the cleaning begin…

i got to amy and jim’s this morning, and there was poop on the dining room floor. a rather inauspicious beginning to the weekend, i think. i cleaned it up, and some pee that was also there, and i let the dogs out because they were HYSTERICAL to get out, and then i let...

clarification

i neglected to mention, because it was morning and i wasn’t fully alert yet, even though it was 10 a.m., that when i dropped my beautiful new suede purse in the street, IT WAS RAINING, AND MY PURSE GOT ALL WET. that was definitely the low point of my day. many things...

besides the fact

that this morning it’s cold and grey and rainy and it’s supposed to be like this for five days, and here comes winter, and i pulled into a parking place under a tree that is suddenly bright yellow and at least half the leaves are gone and i KNOW it was leafy and green...

Exposition of the doctrines of grace

i’m afraid to go to sleep now, even though i’m so tired my eyes are barely open. i fear that there’s little chance of actually sleeping. not a good brain tonight. so, i thought i’d kill time by looking things up, but i couldn’t think of anything to look up, so i...

p.s. JEKYLL & HYDE

my friend ann bought tickets for the friday night show. i’ll be at the sunday afternoon show, plus i might go one night also because IT’S INCREDIBLE. please, please go see it.

macaroni and cheese pie

i’m pretty sure that’s what it was. DELICIOUS. maybe jerri will make it when we’re in denver. somebody tonight asked me if it was going to be snowing there. i said I HOPE NOT. he said, but you could ski! i said HELL NO. he said, you don’t ski? i said NO WAY. he said,...

because

i keep tilting my computer at a funny angle, because i type while lying in bed, i have stressed my power cord. it’s plugged in, but suddenly it says it’s not plugged in anymore. this has been going on for a few weeks now, and i keep thinking OH MY GOD YET ANOTHER...

weird tuesday, and ERICA CONFESSED

so, after doing very little at panera this afternoon, i went to work, but first stopped in at my sister’s salon, because i had just a little bit of extra time, and she doesn’t work on tuesdays, but the place was open for business, there were three clients there, and...

one more thing at 3:14 p.m.

i just ordered THREE 28-oz. containers of STRAWBERRY PURE SOY ISOLATE POWDER. they only cost a total of $35! PLUS, shipping is only FOUR DOLLARS! such a deal. i’m feeling more energized, just sitting here realizing that i’m not going to run out of STRAWBERRY PURE SOY...
