Oh boy! We’re drilling holes in the house! Things are done slowly, and sometimes not in logical order around here, but eventually they do get done. Although they might get done in strange ways — tonight, for instance, we tried belling the fish, and now our ceiling jingles, but we have successfully achieved a goal we’ve been working towards for several months now… very soon, there will not be electronic spaghetti dangling all over the back of the wet bar, and as of about 90 minutes ago, there is no dusty speakerwire trailing along the floor and threatening to trip…

It rained much of yesterday, and then it snowed last night. Now everything is grey and sloppy — and we’re getting ready to go out, so I have to think about “what not to wear” under these conditions. I think heels and a silk blouse are out of the question, don’t you? Yep, fall back on my fashion staple — Timberland hiking boots, jeans, several layers on top including bad-weather shell. My only concession to “decorative” dressing is a blue pashmina shawl. I like it, it’s soft and warm. I think I need some more of them, maybe I’ll find…

Oh, boy. We’re going to Salt Lake for a visit in late March and again in May. I have to get the space booked for the first trip booked next week. I’ve been putting it off. Oh, boy. I’d better take along all my medication — I always get a horrible sinus infection whenever I return, for example. And I have to take my special anti-headexplody medicine when I go there, too. The occasion will be a lovely family celebration (no irony) at the home of a family member and his partner (again with the no irony). The family member…

I added another stupid camera phone picture – this one is of a group of chads not exactly hanging around the door to the office, but they appeared to be loitering with intent. As this is an election year, I thought someone out there should know.

David and I have sushi telepathy. Today at approximately 515pm, a random thought popped into my head (as they so often do). This one said, simply, “Sushi.” And then in a rush to justify this thought, I pondered, “well, we’ve been good – ate in several nights this week already, with the exception of the big blowout at Sabor the other night.” So I called David on his cell and said: “I have one word to say to you.” (In the silence, no one can hear you say “can you hear me now”) “Sushi.” David started screaming something about “get…

The new entertainment center and bookcase for the family room were delivered today… this was built to order back in January. I am SO glad it’s here… because now we can get the TV off the counter of the wet bar, where it’s been since we bought it last summer. Earlier tonight after looking the pieces over and pondering one challenge (fitting the tuner into the built-in shelf – a piece of trim is going to make it a tricky fit), David said “Maybe… we should think about getting a new sofa now.” Oh please oh please oh please oh…

Oh, man, that was a good dinner last night. We met Steve and friends Chris and Susan to celebrate Steve’s birthday at Sabor! in Schaumburg. It’s described (a little over-enthusiastically by the waiter) as Nuevo Latino, which he chose to pronounce “New-Wavo” Latino. That’s a minor lapse on his part; he’s right to let his enthusiasm for the food run away with him, because the appetizers and entrees we chose with his help and advice totally rocked our worlds. A final note – Sabor’s decor is interesting and modern, yet comfortable. If you’re a non-smoker, request seats at the back…

It’s Steve’s birthday today! Three years ago we were in Maui with Steve and 5 other friends! Boy, do we wish we were there again. Boy, do we wish we were there again.

Got a lot done today – actually, David got a lot more done than I did, but I did get some tidying done, David did some vacuuming (we lead such glamorous lives). Valentine’s cards were exchanged this morning – David got a new owner’s manual for his body. I tried to find an O’Reilly book on tantric seqs, but they seem not to have that title yet. There are no helpful pictures, but he says the “tips and tricks” sections are similar to other manuals he has. Heh. And yes, there was much incessant goofing around with the blog today,…
