i dunno. not much going on.

it's summer, which is great. swimming and being outside as much as possible.

it's summer, which is great. except mom is here in town. avoiding her as much as possible.

it's summer without so much humidity so far, which is also great thankyouverymuch.

i now have an ad in the paper for the next month to get my cleaning business going full time. i still just have the one house, but they're being much cleaner these days. not quite so gross.

still at the florist on tues, weds, thurs, except this is the slow season so they keep letting me come home early, which is not so great cuz i need to make some $$$.

i can work all day at the florist and make $56. i can work 4 hours cleaning and make $80 or $100.

it's a no brainer.

i think maybe i should someday decide what i want to "be" when i grow up.

my daughter has been spending time home alone this summer and it seems to be going ok. she's good about getting her chores done and all that kinda stuff. but i still worry. especially since i'm attending association meetings here and raising a stink about all the shit going on with the board of directors. i don't really expect anything to happen, but still, this is my baby. and then there's all the other stuff you can worry about when you have a 12 year old home alone. i trust her, and she really is very responsible for her tender age, but let's just see...fire, flood, tornado, loss of electricity (not so bad), break-ins, rape, murder...hmmmmm, i think that about covers it.

oh wait, i forgot carbon monoxide poisoning.

her sort of step mom is usually at the restaurant about a thousand feet away tho, so that's comforting at least.

my son is still doing nothing. or did i not tell you he quit his last job about a month ago??? i know, i know. i'm surprised too. (not) i love the boy, but as ron white says "he's got a lot of quit in him". he says he's tired of wearing someone else's bitch shirt and going to his little job and having the fucked up government take a full third of his pay.

so be an entrepreneur or move to another country already. do something...just something!!!!!

he's still dating the "dancer" altho we still don't know the difference between dancer and stripper, and i keep asking (just cuz i think it's funny as shit that he makes the distinction but doesn't know what the difference is. i gotta give the boy grief about something, ya know???) they seem to make each other happy and she seems sweet enough.

my tummy is giving me problems again, almost like i still have my gall bladder, and it's pissing me off. i've gotten used to feeling good, and altho it doesn't make me feel bad, it's just not good to be running to the bathroom that much for days in a row. (note to self: buy that immodium stock tomorrow)

and no, i haven't talked to the doc cuz i know what they're gonna do and i don't want any tubes and cameras inserted into any orifices, north or south, on this body. i had surgery this year already, i think that's enough, don't you???

my tongue is still numb from the last root canal procedure i had done about a month ago.

yeah, i know. let's just not go there, ok???

(heyelsa - i gotta take mom to the doctor early tomorrow morning. how bout sharing a happy pill with me??? do ya think fed-ex can get it here by 6am???)

husband is still...husband. he's a good man and i love him dearly, but he's still messy as ever. he cleaned all his clothes and put them away a few weeks ago, and it's a wreck again. not as bad, but on it's way for sure. i just put my blinders on when i go into our bedroom.

but i do long for an adult, sexy kind of bedroom, ya know???

anyway, we have lotsa cleaning to do friday cuz we're having katherine's 13th summer birthday party on saturday with lots of giggly girls at the pool and then a sleepover.

shouldn't they call them stayawakeovers??? it's not like they actually sleep.

her birthday is in december and she's always wanted an outside pool party, so we're doing it. we usually rent a hotel with an indoor pool (and we clean up when we go too, netter!!!) so she's never really missed having a good birthday - don't feel too sorry for her.

so now that we're all caught up i think i'll go cut my nails. they're too long and the plants and flowers turn them kinda greenish, so it's time for them to go.

exciting evening i have planned, don'tchathink???
