hey hi-

yeah- wouldn't it be great if we were in the neighboorhood? we could walk, coffee sounds great- just able to "checkin" at the back door anytime something great was going on or for show & tell or whatever.

oh mannnnn-

i was going to say to you- do you think you (and me too really) find it hard sometimes to pry ourselves out of the house because (in addition to being homebodies kinda gals) it's like, we're kind of "wounded" so like some ole animal we stay close to our lair(nest) whatever- where it's safe and we are sure and okay??

i wonder becaseu my sister called and said come drive down the shore with her for a couple days. i feel guilty because i thnink i should have gone- but on other hand- she's a bit much for a couple days straight. i feellike a rat to even say it out loud- and i was scrounging around in my mind to find reasons why not to go, so i begged off. part of it is that i am usually loath to go places sometimes. particularly if i'm not driving and i'll be "trapped".

anyway- it got me thinking of you saying you don't go get out much- one has to wonder huh?

i swear, i think we're just all animals together- doing what our instincts demand. nothin personal world- just business.

ya think?

fixed the couch and it looks v good white- need to find another bedspread to chop up (or something textured & white) for the throw pillows. gonna do that now.

changed the end table- it looks like pooh- need to change back or find something different. i swer- i cannot envision things in advance- have to actually put them in place, sit down and look and only then - can i tell if i like it or not.

i guess thatm akes me solely visual when it comes to creativity.

oh well- anyway- thought of the moment.

i fizzled on the cake - was going to make a banana cake- but i think the day is sliding by too quickly and it's hot now and i've got a mountain of clothing in bags on my bed that needs to get put in the closet for summer - or chop up - or chuck or something.

removed two giant straw cloths baskets of (clothing that needs an alteration or something before i can wear it) and i'm going to not put it back in attic. i swear- i'm going to de-junk my existence here. i mean it this time- for real.

anyway- needed to go thru all that stuff.

i KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN about happy love handles . i will never complain if i ever have someone to love and get tubby.

since i've been on the misery diet- i'm v. slim. half my friends say "oh - you don't look good, you look too skinny" (?????) wtf -usually the tubby ones. i mean - wtf? is there such a thing - in general, if we're to believe our eyes & magazines???

it's okay- i'm slim, but nothing is firm - it's all just gushy- eek - so i've got some handles myself if i wear a tight low hip waistband. ta da

DO GO AND WLAK TO VILLAGE and see whatever is going on. it would be good- i'm going to do the same- i mean it.

tonite i'll walk over to fireworks with my walkin buddy across st- & have some wine maybe. 4th - no particular plans but if worse comes to worse- i'll grab my mother & make her eat a darn hotdog- or drag her somewhere. i'm doing something and that is that- so you too.

the thing is this- nothing just makes me "happy" like looking forward to it- like my tail wagging. i know it's expecting a miracle- but i want my tail to wag again?????

how long before that??? i just got an e-mail from rutger's garden club about a couple things that seem interesting- think i'll sign up and see- ta da- still feeble attempts at gal-

well- they're official - but seem to me mighty feeble. this not working stinks- i was doing good when it entertained me all day.

if i can relly downsize the crappola - *( & feel my house is organized and ready to begin my new life (it's something like that- this need to get rid & redo a bit)

xxoo it's an okay day- and i'm glad to hear your voice.

if you were around rite now- i'd drag you over and make you a nice little (health7y) glass of wine & oj & strawberries and laugh like mad about out dopey sitchs & h's. i can laugh about it when i'm talkin to a friend- it's alone i mope-

xxoo happy independence day my dear!!!!!
