brendan and jerri had to get up at 4:30, new york time, and then they flew for five hours. and then we had plenty of wine and lots of DELICIOUS beef stroganoff…and now i’m the only one still awake.

jerri apologized for going to bed at 7:50, but who could blame her? so i’m sitting here on the hideabed upstairs in the very very cool loft, and i’m about to watch a bunch more sex & the city episodes. plus there are all the cars now parked in the lot next to us, all the people at the lakers game, and maybe if i’m still up i’ll watch them all leaving.

jerri warned me that because of lucy’s messed-up schedule, she’ll probably wake up at 9 and then again at one. and i said that i was fairly sure i’d still be up at nine, not to worry.

the goose sure did look adorable, sleeping peacefully there in her crib.

the bad news – brendan tells me that because my computer has a bad connection – the power cord is plugged in, but the computer doesn’t think it is, and then i have to jiggle the cord to make the battery icon go away – it will eventually go bad and i won’t be able to do anything about it and i’ll have to get a new computer. this is pretty sad, but i’ve been dealing with the bad connection for quite some time now, so maybe it’ll limp along for a while longer. jerri says i can get a dell laptop for 500 bucks right now, which seems really really cheap.

i’m not going to think about that right now.

people are still going in to the game, and it started 40 minutes ago.

whew. sex & the city.

ok then,

not so late at night grace.
