it was so windy last night and this morning i went outside to check on stuff...
turns out our best blue tarp (yeah, out here in the sticks blue tarps get categories) had blown away and was down against the back pasture fence....
as i went out to get it i was bending over to yank it away from the fence and i thought to myself
"hey, this is in the shape of a dead body all wrapped up...wouldn't that be creepy"
GOOD MORNING!
man, i gotta get out more...
being giddily excited by the wood getting stacked before the rains came and draining two day old fetid water from the washing machine somehow doesn't cut it...it's lacking that je ne se quoi...or however you spell it...see, if i got out more i betcha i'd know how to spell it...
oh wait, that's right...i am getting out today...to the LAUNDRO-MAT with the boybarians!!!...big fun...why are the darker parts of my childhood flooding back?...
the best part about the LAUNDRO-MAT i am going to is that it's right next door to the money tree check cashing joint...could i get luckier?...WHY YES I CAN!...this particular LAUNDRO-MAT is also on the highway right behind a bus stop!...
yes, i am snob about such matters...but when you spend even one portion of your life in a trailer park under a bridge then it becomes paramount to your soul that you spend your life shying away from certain realities...like the LAUNDRO-MAT...yeah it was kicky and quirky and fun doing my laundry at the LAUNDRO-MAT in san francisco with the cute boy i was macking with, but this is a far far different set of circumstances...
then tonight i promised the boybarians an indoor campout...with the ever popular "squirrel burgers"...they are beyond excited...and just so you know, i did not introduce them to "squirrel burgers"...no, that would be the mathematician...yes, he was so generous with the introduction of the "squirrel burger"and with gambling also...sometimes you don't have to search for good strong role models for your kids, often they just fall into your lap...
oh, and just one last mention before i leave...while at the library yesterday i was unloading my armful of books...the duke put his up...wingman adding his to the pile...
the librarian says good naturedly
"oh, that's a lot of books"
then i open my totebag to unload the rest...
(yes i have a totebag...and yes i know totebags are not cool)
"wow, that is a lot of books!"
to which i respond
"yeah, we don't get out much"
duh...why i feel the need to broadcast that i don't know...
by now the librarian has swiped my card and sees that in addition to the books i have on the counter to check out, i already have 60 books at home checked out...
"well, obviously you know how to spend your time at home...and just so you know, i know who you are and you are one of the reasons our library is number 3 for circulation in the county!"
i don't know what to say...so i don't say anything...
"and that's good because more circulation means more money for our particular branch!"
the line is beginning to pile up behind me...then i remember
"oh, do i have any holds in?"
"yes, you have 9"
the proof is in the pudding people...i don't know what more i can say...
