whew. each day i keep doing too many different things. but tonight was the LAST NIGHT OF CLASS for 2005, which is a very good thing. it wasn\u2019t really a class, it was mostly a party, which was a great way to end the semester. <\/p>\n
ok, so i told kurt about the people dancing around with wheat thins on their heads. wheat thins hats. not triscuits. and he had never seen the commercial either. i really can\u2019t understand this. tonight randy tried to convince me that i was hallucinating the whole thing, but i know i\u2019m not. dad has seen the commercial. so therefore it must be real. dad knows.<\/p>\n
kurt and i got a lot of editing work done, and i got him to work fast because i said LET\u2019S GO OUT TO LUNCH WHEN WE\u2019RE FINISHED. food was an excellent motivator. the show is mostly done, editing-wise, right now. plus i got to go out to lunch; we went to coz\u2019s, which is a pizza place, but i was going to get a healthy chicken sandwich, but then i decided on french dip instead, which was not healthy in any way. so let\u2019s say that TOMORROW is the day when i start worrying about parading around onstage IN MY UNDERWEAR. because i have plenty, PLENTY of time.<\/p>\n
unless i keep eating french dip sandwiches, because then before you know it, there i\u2019ll be onstage, waddling around in my underwear. not a pretty image to contemplate.<\/p>\n
kurt\u2019s diet suggestion is always “drink lots of water.” i mean, that\u2019s it, that\u2019s his entire diet strategy. he\u2019s actually lost about 10 pounds, but i can\u2019t imagine that it\u2019s just because he drinks more water. kurt has many theories about many things, and they\u2019re highly interesting. he always has an opinion, which is good. sometimes i don\u2019t agree with him, and sometimes i think he\u2019s living on a different planet than i am, but we see eye-to-eye on many things.<\/p>\n
i helped randy decorate his tree tonight. i broke a huge expensive gorgeous ornament. this was directly after he said “be careful with that one, it\u2019s my favorite, and it\u2019s expensive.” and then, CRASH. they didn\u2019t name me grace for no reason, you see. my parents have a very good sense of irony. and then i broke another one. bad. please don\u2019t ever trust me with anything breakable.<\/p>\n
luckily, randy also broke a couple of ornaments, and he seems kind of sick of ornaments, even though he has some of the fanciest that i\u2019ve seen. he says maybe next year he\u2019ll just put lights on the tree, no ornaments at all. maybe he\u2019ll lend me some of his more fancy ones. except maybe that would be a lousy idea, because wouldn\u2019t i just break those, too? <\/p>\n
i took gingerbread cake to the party tonight, and i\u2019m taking more of it to another party i have to go to this weekend. gingerbread cake for everybody! it seems silly to call it gingerbread CAKE, but if you just say gingerbread, people think cookies. and the cake is much more delicious than gingerbread cookies.<\/p>\n
except i\u2019m getting kind of sick of it now. this is a good thing, because gingerbread cake isn\u2019t so great for you, either. <\/p>\n
last night jerri wrote to me that she feels all the mountains of snow in minneapolis makes it a “winter wonderland,” and she said she\u2019s allowed to think like that because she\u2019s new to the snow. i wish i thought it was pretty, but i think the only way i\u2019d think so is if i did not have to go outside at all. tonight a woman in class was telling a story about living in steamboat springs, colorado, where it got down to SIXTY BELOW, and there would be walls of snow EIGHT TO TWELVE FEET HIGH down the street. she seemed to think this was neat.<\/p>\n
all i have to say is, i\u2019m thankful i don\u2019t live in steamboat springs.<\/p>\n
i told a friend about my own personal skiing horror stories, and he said that his wife cried when skiing, and then she took the skiis off and walked down the mountain. i think this is a BRILLIANT idea! i don\u2019t know why that never occurred to me. but i have total empathy with her. walking down the mountain, i\u2019ll do that if i\u2019m ever forced to ski against my will.<\/p>\n
you wouldn\u2019t think this would happen to a person, but you never know.<\/p>\n
tomorrow, FRIDAY.<\/p>\n
ok then,<\/p>\n
mid-december grace<\/p>\n
p.s. do you realize it\u2019s NOT EVEN OFFICIALLY WINTER YET???<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
