for some reason, in the midst of the many many photos he’s been sending me from colorado springs, kevin sent me this photo.
i guess it must have been on there for a long time and he needed to delete it in order to take more photos.
it was almost one year ago that jim and i were sitting in the back of the van, in charge of making sure the cake DID NOT CRASH as kevin crept along the highway. i’m sure i mentioned it a long time ago but i’m sure you forgot – first, we got stopped by a cop on the highway because kevin was going too slowly. and later, on hazel dell road, which is riddled with potholes, i yelled at him SLOW DOWN and he replied I’M ONLY GOING THREE MILES AN HOUR.
it was a slightly stressful morning, that wedding day. but the cake arrived safely and all was good.
we saved the top layer and are going to eat it in a little over a month. i wonder if it’ll still be any good? i bet it will.
i was EATEN ALIVE BY MOSQUITOES tonight at randy’s. aside from that, he made a very lovely dinner and we took a walk on the new short trail on east lake drive and mollie enjoyed that a lot, but we were just too close to the cars zooming along for my taste.
it’s still very muggy here. this morning the humidity was 90%. a little bit moist around here.
that’s why i got up at 7:30 to go jogging. i said to myself,ok, get up and run, and then you can take a nap later.
i didn’t nap. i don’t have any good reason for not napping, except i wasn’t tired.
but so now i’m ready to go to sleep. at 10:43 saturday night.
sleep is good. there was a billboard in LA that read YOU CAN SLEEP WHEN YOU’RE DEAD. it was an ad for a gym, i believe. i hated that billboard. I WANT TO SLEEP RIGHT NOW. DON’T TELL ME TO SLEEP WHEN I’M DEAD. sleep is very good.
also, today mom and i stopped at the dairy queen and had dilly bars. mine had MINT ice cream inside. i know i said there are no more dairy queens in springfield, but there is one in sherman, which is sort of just right up the road, and we weren’t too far from it anyway.
sleep is good, ice cream is good. my wants are few.
ok then,
saturday grace.
