i can’t believe that yesterday was friday. i feel like a week has passed. i was going to be IN BED by 11, with LIGHTS OUT by 11:30. so far i’m not meeting my goal.
i was looking at our online wedding registry yesterday in order to try to find more stuff to add to it, and was surprised and delighted to see that SOMEBODY BOUGHT US SOMETHING ALREADY! two pillow shams.
but the funny thing is, they must have been doing shopping for themselves at the same time, because now we have a couple of things added to the registry, including two light bulbs. very funny.
here’s the lighted palm tree which i added to the registry, back when i was sure i wouldn’t find more than three things that i wanted/needed:
now, of course, i believe we have more than 60 items. somebody told me to add crate & barrel online as a wedding registry place, but i’m sure they have nothing we need/want.
boy i’m tired. today i spent a few hours decorating this practice cake. it looks…ok. lots and lots of icing. it’s not exactly how i want it to be. i’m too tired to worry if i’ll be able to achieve that which i want to achieve. today a friend said to me YOU’RE THE ONE GETTING MARRIED, YOU DON’T NEED TO MAKE YOUR OWN CAKE.
yeah, but i want to. because…
because i’m somewhat insane?
but only somewhat.
this morning i confessed to kevin a serious flaw that i’ve been keeping from him.
i break irons.
i mean, irons always break. somehow i drop them.
last night, though, i went into the laundry room and the iron was lying on the floor. i was nowhere near it when it plunged to the floor. but i know that somehow it was my fault. i don’t know that it’s broken for sure, but a lot of water seemed to be leaking out of it.
i drop irons.
he suggested that we could put about 14 irons up on our wedding registry.
but that wouldn’t be nearly as fun as lighted palm trees.
saturday night. i’d like to watch something fun on tv, but i fear that if i turn on the tv i won’t find anything interesting at all. so i’ll keep reading “in a sunburned country” by bill bryson, about his travels in australia. this is the second time i’ve read it, and it makes me want to go to australia and at the same time makes me never want to go there, because basically most things there will kill you. alligators, fish jellyfish, all kinds of horrible plants and things and it sounds pretty deadly and i’m prone to getting stung, etc anyway so maybe i shouldn’t go there anytime in the near future.
mom had a great time in switzerland, by the way. i have all her photos right here on my computer but i’m much too tired right now to show any of them to you.
tomorrow, maybe. no cakes to decorate tomorrow.
ok then,
saturday grace.
p.s. today my brother-in-law jim, who is the BEST, came over and mowed/trimmed the lawn, as a birthday present for kevin who has everything he could ever possibly need/want. what a good guy, my brother-in-law jim, who remembers events that happen at the same time as the tour de france every year because he is a little obsessed with the tour de france.
