This fine morning, I had all sorts of ideas of what I was going to do. I touched up my roots, shh. That's always nice to get done. Eight dollars every few months. I'll go gray one of these days. Ha, I don't actually FEEL sixty, in fact today when I remembered how old I am, I simply couldn't believe it. Then I get up and walk, and oh creaky achy, yeah, it's making sense.
Anyway. I decided to try on a few things I washed to pack for Arizona, and you wouldn't believe this: several of my summer clothes have stains on them! I don't know what from! It's like brown spots from hanging in the closet all year. I washed them, not seeing the stains, and now I don't think they'll come out! I told Aaron I was going to have to go shopping when I get there.
So I hemmed and hawed and thought about going to Old Navy today, but decided not to venture there on a Saturday, so much more traffic, more people, and I would have been by myself, what if I had to park a mile away? So, I made cookies.
Dinner: I marinated some chicken breast in seasoning and vinegar, then grilled it, oh so good. Charlotte Claire chopped onions and cilantro, and made some corn tortillas with lime juice. I opened some black olives, got out the lime habanero sauce, and oh dear, so good! I do like the new grill. It was chilly on the deck though!
So now it's evening, and baseball is on. The girls are cuddled under blankets doing school work. We just got the kitchen cleaned up, and I'm back in my comfy chair. They're busy these days, and today they were working, and Paul was working on an apartment we need to get rented, and I was here all by my lonesome, and it hit me: I have no friends. Well, that's not really true, I have loads of friends. But since I've been a mom to all these girls, they've been most of my social life, and they grow up, branch out, get their own lives, and, well. No, this isn't actually accurate, as I am still very much a part of their lives. It's just that today, all of them had things to do. I wanted to go out and about, but with whom? Oh, Cheryl, I miss you! It's been a while since she was able to go bargain hunting with me. But my heart aches when I think of the fun we used to have.
Yes, I do have friends. I am not feeling sorry for myself! :)
And...now it is tomorrow! You all have a good day! (I'm going to lunch at Emily's with a whole bunch of dear friends!)
