it is one of my many many joys in life that i have never been and will likely never be mistaken for a soccer mom.

other joys, at the moment:

• the bathroom is tiled, and should be being grouted as i type this.
  
• saturday, we primed it, and sunday, i painted it a nice shade of light yellow. it's very cheery.
  
• we're now discussing repainting the living room. i am having a failure of imagination, and may send nathan off to the paint store by himself for that one, as i am unable to come up with another color that i would like it to be.
  
• sale at lane bryant this past weekend. bought clothes. bought funny girly clothes. (this is not a euphemism for underwear, this is a euphemism for t-shirts with lace on them.)
  
• manny's for dinner tonight.
  
• the dog.
  
• finding out that i am more compatible with the divine lisa c. than with people that i was in relationships with for multiple years.
  
• the airconditioner is in in the attic.
  
• reading the vampire slayer: an unofficial critical companion to buffy and angel which i bought at wiscon. (even though they, like everyone else on the planet, totally miss what the ending of season five was about! arrrgh! although i now have new things to think about for angel, season two.)
  
• my gargoyle is guarding his diamond on my desk.
  
• new sneakers!

and that's all, for now.
