I had so many things going on today, I forgot all about writing in my diary!
But then, it's true, I am easily distracted these days.
I started out with a walk with my friend D. Came home, got cleaned up, then my other friend S. called long distance and we had to catch up on everything that was going on in her neck of the woods.
Then I read a bunch of diaries and noticed that Weblog Review is telling me to get over there and do some reviews, as some people have paid their money and now we have to get them done within 5 days. Uh oh.
I gathered up my stuff and headed out to meet a friend at her work and we drove over to a consignment furniture store where she bought a nice big dining room table and 6 chairs and a side board cupboard and a large china cabinet with glass doors. We drove back to her job describing in detail to each other who we were going to have over to her house for Shabbat dinner and what we were going to cook for the meal. I'm in charge of chicken and challah, she is in charge of rice and steamed vegetables!
Then I hauled myself over to Costco to buy a bale of toilet paper. (36 rolls) Oy! And three cases of chili that my dad likes that they have been out of at his Costco. I also made an impulse purchase, which is not usually my habit. They had pajama bottoms in plaid cotton flannel that I have been wanting to get for ages. I guess they think winter is coming. You can't tell that from the 95 degree weather...But there they were and I bought a package with two pair. It took me 15 minutes to decide which ones to get, as each package had paired up different colors. I finally decided on a pack that had a blue pair and a lilac pair. Whew! It's a good thing I was alone. Hub Man would have been having a conniption watching me hem and haw, had he been along.
Then I raced home in time to receive the Pragmatist for an afternoon of intense conversation. I will not disclose the details however. But just let me say, we covered A LOT of ground in 2 hours. . . :-)
THEN 45 minutes later, I headed back out to Yoga class where Sarah worked us over in her inimitable style. Came home and heated up some kosher hot dogs and we had dinner.
I finished it off with a HUGE red plum that I got at Costco. I consumed it in the recommended manner from my DD friends. Standing over the sink slurping and dripping. YUM YUM!
So that, dear friends, is why I almost forgot to write in my diary today.
I was busy with my really real life here in suburbia.
(Who says being a homemaker is boring?)
