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.

just as a psa:

woman does not equal moron.

i ate way too much today.

strike went well but we didn't get quite as much done as i'd hoped. we still have time tomorrow though, and i'm sure we'll get everything done in a reasonable amount of time.

my sister is in the hospital while i'm writing this - she had an emergency appendectomy early saturday morning. my mom said she's okay and would be home tonight hopefully, but since she hasn't called, i guess maybe it's tomorrow instead. i'd prefer that my sister stay out of hospitals from now on as i don't know what i'd do without her.

still counting the minutes 'til i get the hell out of here - motivator is still broken.

for those of you on the edge of your seat in anticipation, i was successful last night in my attempt to eat free snackysnacks and drink more than i should. we had a grand time, both during the show and after. there was pizza, and we pumped up the sound system and i turned on some artistic lighting so people could get their groove on. when we tired of that, a few of us moved down the street to the belwah to sober up. i had more water in that two hours than i've had all week. we dished, and gossiped. and then we dished some gossip. i had a grand time. this moring i felt a little queasy, but was over that in a matter of seconds.

today is strike day; we will take everything down and put it in neat piles to load up our truck on monday to take everything back to storage. i anticipate a smooth operation today, and monday too. tonight is the volunteer dinner for the pony park - it's at tumbleweeds and they'll give us whatever we want under $8.99. i am very excited.

tuesday i anticipate laundry and sloth. wednesday i fly home, and couldn't be happier about it. i'm lookin at a whole week of maxxin and relaxxin. with some baby playin and some dining out mixed in, it promises to be a little slice of heaven.
