We're cooking dinner. I don't like the smell of smoke. When Josh grills, he uses paper to start his fire. I hate the smell of burning paper. Cardboard is worse, though. Josh likes the smell.
Abbie has been napping. I hope she wakes up soon. I've already had to give up my plan of watching movies after the kids go to bed, now I'm working on getting to bed myself before ridiculously late. Rrr.
I'm sad and lonely. Don't worry, Master Awesome. I'm not going to write about how you came to Missouri and drove right past my house and didn't even tell me, let alone bring your lovely wifey over to let me hang out with. I wouldn't do that to you. Not after you've been such an attentive and devoted friend. Poop head. Okay. I'm kidding about being all offended. Plus, I was already feeling sad and lonely. It's having these back problems and being stuck at home. I don't dig confinement. If I am to be reclusive, I want it to be my idea.
We took the dog to have his nails clipped at PetSmart today. Jake loves it. The kids love it, too. They get to go and peek at all the pets for sale. Today the lizards were especially entertaining. They stretched up on hind legs to peek back at Grant and Abbie. The cat I liked is gone - off to a good and happy home, I'm sure. The new cats were not as interesting by half.
Then, the boys had haircuts, and Abbie and I stayed in the car with Jake. It wasn't as easy as I had hoped, but not as bad as I'd feared. Abbie whined for a while, and actually started to cry, but right as the boys showed back up.
Did I tell you that I am now the proud owner of All About Eve? A very good movie. Not, if you must know, my favorite, but I can't deny that it is a very good movie. I prefer comedy or suspense. I can't call that one suspenseful. Glad I own it, though. And did I tell you that I saw Dear Frankie? Sad, but very, very good. Love that one. Thank you, Dad, for giving it to me.
Josh says that Budweiser's American Ale is "not bad". So, you should try it on his recommendation, if you have not already done so.
If I had a winning lottery ticket, you know what I'd do? First, I'd get a porch at the bottom of our deck and make Josh do his grilling away from the back door. I'd also buy presents for my taiko friends who are about to run off to Japan. I'm so excited for them!! And I'd go to the doctor. (Just 'cause I could. I'm not feeling ill. I might want a new prescription to help my back, you know.) And I'd fix my car. I mean, truck. I hate that thing... And I'd buy birthday presents for Grant. And I'd take my grandmother out for a marshmallow coke. She says there's a place in Versailles that still makes them. Never had one personally. Sounds...weird.
I'm so bummed. Maybe I need tea.
I was just looking at some internet summer drink ideas. Most of them sounded terrible, or ridiculously difficult, but it gave me some ideas. Maybe I'll even be brave enough to try some of them.
My back is nearly healthy. I'm going to practice tomorrow.
I had Josh return my latest Stephanie Plum book for me, and I'm currently reading Wise Children, just like I said. It's a funny, funny, book, but today it seems tragic.
Screw the tea. I need chocolate.
Seen any good movies lately? Don't suppose you'd like to tell me.
