Concerts Today’s the last Sanctuary Concert at 4pm at the church – I guess I never bothered to post it here because the only people reading this blog are apparently my sister, my husband, 2 humans in an undisclosed location, and several dozen robots.

Holy Innocents Episcopal Church 425 Illinois Blvd Hoffman Estates IL Tickets $10.00 / $8.00 students and seniors Call 847-885-7900 for more information And now… yep, late for church, gotta scoot!

Okay, this is funny. Another one of my pet peeves validated. 😉

Oh boy! We’re drilling holes in the house! Things are done slowly, and sometimes not in logical order around here, but eventually they do get done. Although they might get done in strange ways — tonight, for instance, we tried belling the fish, and now our ceiling jingles, but we have successfully achieved a goal we’ve been working towards for several months now… very soon, there will not be electronic spaghetti dangling all over the back of the wet bar, and as of about 90 minutes ago, there is no dusty speakerwire trailing along the floor and threatening to trip…

It rained much of yesterday, and then it snowed last night. Now everything is grey and sloppy — and we’re getting ready to go out, so I have to think about “what not to wear” under these conditions. I think heels and a silk blouse are out of the question, don’t you? Yep, fall back on my fashion staple — Timberland hiking boots, jeans, several layers on top including bad-weather shell. My only concession to “decorative” dressing is a blue pashmina shawl. I like it, it’s soft and warm. I think I need some more of them, maybe I’ll find…

Oh, boy. We’re going to Salt Lake for a visit in late March and again in May. I have to get the space booked for the first trip booked next week. I’ve been putting it off. Oh, boy. I’d better take along all my medication — I always get a horrible sinus infection whenever I return, for example. And I have to take my special anti-headexplody medicine when I go there, too. The occasion will be a lovely family celebration (no irony) at the home of a family member and his partner (again with the no irony). The family member…

I added another stupid camera phone picture – this one is of a group of chads not exactly hanging around the door to the office, but they appeared to be loitering with intent. As this is an election year, I thought someone out there should know.

David and I have sushi telepathy. Today at approximately 515pm, a random thought popped into my head (as they so often do). This one said, simply, “Sushi.” And then in a rush to justify this thought, I pondered, “well, we’ve been good – ate in several nights this week already, with the exception of the big blowout at Sabor the other night.” So I called David on his cell and said: “I have one word to say to you.” (In the silence, no one can hear you say “can you hear me now”) “Sushi.” David started screaming something about “get…

More on the gay-marriage issue, this time from my former “home town” paper: The Salt Lake Tribune — Utah same-sex couple fly to S.F. to tie the knot “This is an actual marriage license. It looks the same as any other marriage license,” Jane Marquardt said. “This may confer more benefits, and if not, since the Utah Legislature seems bound and determined to pass more laws that we will never recognize same-sex marriage here, at least it makes a statement.” This is the basis of the discussion David and I have been having the last week or so – he…

The new entertainment center and bookcase for the family room were delivered today… this was built to order back in January. I am SO glad it’s here… because now we can get the TV off the counter of the wet bar, where it’s been since we bought it last summer. Earlier tonight after looking the pieces over and pondering one challenge (fitting the tuner into the built-in shelf – a piece of trim is going to make it a tricky fit), David said “Maybe… we should think about getting a new sofa now.” Oh please oh please oh please oh…

Yep, fell off the couch laughing at Angel. Which the WB cancelled why? Because it sounds like they love Joss Whedon and David Borenaz to bits. And it seems that the writer/director of “Smile Time,” the puppet episode, loves everybody, too. So the WB is cancelling this excellent and daring show why? I’ve really, really enjoyed this season and don’t want to see it end too soon – I’ve been waiting for the payoff to the Wolfram & Hart “deal with the devil” and I hope to see a resolution, and not have to wait for a hoped for or…
