i am home at my mom's. i love it here. i don't want to leave. i got here yesterday, and have spent the past tow days playing with jackie's two year old twins. they are awesome and love their Aunt Neen. one drinks "waka", the other drinks "oya". both stand for water. tomorrow we are going shopping, where i will use up birthday $$ on new clothes, which i need. saturday, i'm going to baltimore to see a movie with jackie, and possibly hit the town for the afternoon. she is fine after her appendectomy this weekend, and says that by monday she feels she'll be back to normal. tuesday my mom and i are going up to watch the babies while jackie gets her staples out. i got an email today about issues with drawings for show #3; the email attachments opened okay but are not showing up the way they need to. i don't have them with me, so they will have to wait for new ones until i get back. anyhow, that's life in the (temporarily) slow lane.
