Let’sseeificanquicktypethisoutbeforeshewakesup. She started sleeping till 9:00 o’clock again, oh blessed relief.

  Today my plans are: taking cookies to my neighbors. catching up on all the bookwork. finally fixing that outdoor fall decoration i created several weeks ago that elena keeps destroying. (note of advice: never include an old tricycle in a fall decoration if you have a 2 yr old) Go to Rockvale had to cross that one out because Gene the mean machine had to take my van to work. So that’s my day.

Oh yes, can’t forget that tonight we are going to see Ruth.  (Sight n Sound -not Glen Miller’s Ruth) We even got $20.00 off our tickets. yippee.

(just fielded a call from Katie Petersheim who wondered if we have wood shavings for sale. she thought she called Ken’s Gardens. i told her sorry this is the esh residence we don’t deal in wood shavings. now if she would have wanted silage/haw/straw that’s another story)

wanna know what’s cool? only about 7 more weeks lugging around this large stomach of mine. AND a lot of those weekends are full already. next weekend marj & bonita come out here and hang w/ beth & me. we will re-establish the old ties that bind.

 A little note about the book i’m reading. Once in a while I pick up a book and read it. and force myself to finish it, because it is so not my stripe,type or pick. this is one of those. it’s a baseball book, and I know next to nothing about baseball. I was in high school when I learned what an RBI was, and that was pretty major for me. what’s depressing is I am not through the first night yet and I have two more to go. Every pitch is analyzed, every swing recounted oh my word it’s torture. I can’t figure out why I am reading this book and the only possible explination is that my subconscious mind is rebelling about being a stay-at-home mom, and this is how I’m acting out. By learning about baseball.

Thanks for not thinking i’m a loser. Got to post a picture. this is at arby’s.

see ya later

    Yee-ha. I gave up taking Sunday afternoon naps because I can never sleep at night then.  Gene is reading the Lancaster Farming, Elena is sleeping, and I am picking out a baby name.  I would show you the baby book that I’m reading, but xanga’s database is too puny to show it.  Anyway, it’s been a relaxing and good day so far, hopefully this evening I can work on a writing assignment that I’ve procrastinated for several months now.  A little multiple choice about MY:

1.  a. week  b. liver condition  c. pet dog

2.  It was seriously: 
a. a fuzzy fluff ball  b. stressful  c. rainy

3.  Because:
a.Elena was sick and vomiting for 3 days straight.  b.I forgot to static-guard his fur.  c.The Meteorologist was wrong again.

4.  But now:
a. The pigs are on the loose.  b. my belly resembles a pizza warehouse.  c. She is better now so I am happy PTL! d. all of the above.

5.  To sum it up:
a. Life is grand  b. God never promised an easy life, but He gives grace you know.  c. Swiss chocolate has been a real friend.

Here are the answers: a b a d b

Ok that was lame, but making up multiple choice quizzes always takes me back to the good old days. I sit and shake with peels of laughter.  Don’t feel bad if you don’t get it, because Gene just got done reading it and thought it was pretty lame. I like lame.

 And pairachopstix, I didn’t forget to put the phrase “pizza warehouse” in it. 

 A little explanation about the pigs on the loose.  Gene got some for the fall festival and they are forever getting out of their pens and running around the place.  I told him we have a third world country going on here.

Till next time – Andrea
