C and S are doing the tile and I love going by to talk to them now particularly with K gone. C said that K made a point of telling them he would be gone for two weeks on vacation to a lake in Michigan and he would be with a “WO-MAN” – I said to C dryly, “You mean he is cheating on me?” I had brought in some music for them and they…
I woke this morning with a crick in my back and neck and saw N on the bayou with Renny and asked if I had stood on my head last night and just didn’t recall it this morning – we went through the check list: hula hooping didn’t do it (btw: I SUCK at hula hoop), dancing didn’t do it (I can dance), ping pong didn’t do it (I LOVE ping pong), and so I…
Poetry reading at Handsome Willy’s – so L had told me some backstory on J that sounded negative but when J recounted the same backstory it sounded sympathetic. So then T was there to read his poetry and he was cool, calm and collected but then the flop sweats came over him and I wondered about the last thing he had said – I’m not hot in this jacket – so then D was there,…
Spent the morning with Abby #1 who has overcome her little issue nicely and is getting quite chunky. She was a little angel this morning. This evening I held Abby #2 who is also a little angel – going to be the most spoiled great niece in the universe.
Dear Prince of Darkness: I am listening – you keep telling me what is wrong with your life – and I want to talk about what is right with your life. Polly Anna
Went over to see Twickler this morning to bring him a check and figure out about the torch down – hopefully V is coming Friday to put the flashing in and then perhaps Monday to do the torch down itself and then it is ready for the sleepers to be put in. Meanwhile, as I was leaving his uptown shop, a man in a truck with a long blonde beard drove by and shouted “God…
Alligator sighting in the bayou again – so I’ll make sure not to walk too close with the Bean. I’ve been on back to back calls all day for work and one call lasted two and a half hours – good grief! – I went by the LaLa to bring a check to Christian for the tiles and he had some of the aqua tiles down and they were radiantly beautiful! The house was quiet…
An hour to watch Abby #1 so that L could get a run in and shower while M took J-man to work, then go later to the hospital to see Abby #2 and mom. I told you it was going to start raining babies and I wasn’t kidding. And the truth be known – every child needs an Aunt Rachel or in the case of Abby #2 that would be a GREAT Aunt Rachel.
Or kind of – L, man of mystery, and I were going to have dinner when I got a call from my sister in law that L was in the hospital about to have that baby (2 weeks early I might say). We decided to try to get through dinner because the baby wasn’t here yet – and smack in the middle of appetizers and mojitos, mom called and said it’s a girl! So I…
Yesterday late afternoon, after a solid day with the phone in my ear, I walked the Bean to DM’s house to put a note about helping me – I need a trim carpenter and someone to do the siding on the addition. D lives on Ursulline, he was a contractor who went to Russia years ago to work, then came back to NO and went into real estate, but post-Katrina he has hired on crews…
