Went to Doug and Elly’s a bit early yesterday; they are currently making a documentary called a day in the life of Uncle Doug and Aunt Elly, and I wish they were making it for me because it sounds hilarious. Essentially it’s an ADVERTISEMENT; they want some people to come and visit them so instead of bugging THEM about it, they are going to make their apartment seem so unbelievably attractive to the kids that they’ll come out to Vancouver just to get the kids to shut up.
Anyway the earlyness meant I had 90 minutes to stooge around so I got a pedicure; it wasn’t as nice as the last one and I now have a big hole in my foot where none ought to be, but it doesn’t hurt much and she did actually pay attention to me when I asked her NOT to trim my big toenails down as much as she was planning (or is that planing?) to. This is what is known as Too Much Information, or TMI. But dammit, my feet are important, at least to me. They are a big chunk of my operational effectiveness, I’ll have you know.
Doug made three cheese hot pepper salami pizza which was awesome, and crantinis (I only had one, as the first one hit like an a-bomb. My tolerance for alcohol has completely evaporated this summer…. getting old I guess.)
Patricia’s coming up the hill for lunch so I have about two hours to clean up after the kids…. errrr….. and thaw things and cook. Damn, I’m lazy! I only just got up!
Exciting things are happening in my life. It’s wonderful.
