I’m going to try really really hard to be pleasant. Yesterday was bad. Lots of grubbly bad, health bad, relationship bad, and the damn groundhog that lives under the outhouse ate my pumpkin, watermelon, cucumber and zucchini vines right down to the roots. I caught the little bastard at it, but by then it was too late. My veggie patch is decimated. Alex called and said he’d be taking the later bus home today. He and Dave are having a great time. This is good. Alex said today he and Dave were going to geek out and hit every comic book, video game, and role playing store in the Syracuse metro area. I am a lucky mom. Seriously. Not a moment’s worry do I have about my child. He’s ‘out there’ in the big bad world and I do not fret about STDs, DUIs, crack, fights, drag racing, hasty elopements, weird piercings, or calls from bail bondsmen. He blew a chunk of change this weekend (money he earned himself!) and it wasn’t on kegs and gallons of Jagermeister. My kid bought himself a lute and a shinai. I know! How cool is my kid that a major splurge is a musical instrument and a bamboo Kendo sword? Told ya I was lucky. In other kid news, Wolf made a cookbook yesterday. With illustrations and everything. One recipe. How to make pasta. The next-to-last page is a drawing of a grinning stick man about to devour a mountain of spaghetti. The end page has the same guy lying on the floor with X-es for eyes, his tongue hanging out of his mouth and a huge belly. The text reads: ‘I’m full.’ My kids crack me up. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ More goodies from the mailbox: The best no-carb diet I’ve seen yet. No C-heney No A-shcroft No R-umsfeld No B-ush Aboslutely no ‘Rice’. A diet guaranteed to make Americans live longer, healthier, and happier lives. I see by the clock on the wall it’s time for me to get going. Even unemployed cripples gots stuff to do. Later, ~LA
