Hear I sit, almost ready to put the last color coat of nail polish on my toes, and I want to say adios. The whole fam (in three, hopefully harmonious parts) flies to Mexico tomorrow. Things have been nutty leading up to this trip. I am excited, but in this numb kind of way. I have been feeling deeply and dreaming strangely this week. It is partly hormonal, but also partly edge-of-the-slide-door-of-the-plane-curtain-going-up intensity. It isn't just the night before a trip. It feels like the night before the next stage of things. At least I hope it is. I WANT to go to the mountain, get the answer, get on with the thing that I don't even know exists yet.
I got a call from an old friend this week. She is engaged. It is a wonderful thing, and yet, somewhere inside it makes me feel bad...it-is-my-own-fault-bad...the worst kind of bad.
I am just hoping that absorbing sun, playing in waves, and dangling from trees will be a good catalyst or cleanser or distiller. Wish me luck! I will be wishing you all were with me!

Tennessee Valley.
I was supposed to hang out with Mr. Urbane Friday evening, but it was decided all parties were too tired. Things were rescheduled for Saturday.
Instead B&S's new car was purchased. Welcome to the mini-van world! I can't wait to rag it out! WOOHOO!
Sat. morning I relaxed a bit and took a leisurely shower. I popped up to the city and Mr. Urbane and I proceeded to have some fun. We went to the Tennessee Valley and took the little hike down to TN beach. It was so beautiful. Fields of wild flowers and steep hillsides, all full of birds. The beach had great striated rocks, and big waves. We chit chatted, perhaps more easily than before. I asked many questions. He is an odd man. We continued on to Tiburon to catch the end of the baseball game. I had a margharita and got all warm and fuzzy inside. We eventually moved on to the city where we ate at a nice restaurant, and I hate some great duck.
Today I spent the morning with the Homie's. All were in fine fettle, and we eventually went to lunch. Yummy lasagna on a wet and cloudy day. I picked up some goodies to give Mr. Urbane for his belated birthday. I was going to drop them at his house, but we ended up wandering around the neighborhood, and having dinner. There was a CUTE blonde lab teddydog outside who was super cuddly. We returned to his house, so I could get Em cuddles. I was short on critter love I think.
Anyhoo...fun weekend.

WeeOO. WeeOO
Funny brain twisting in the wind. I think I have a bad case of summer fever. I feel the need to clean up, get things done, and go have some fun in the sun. I really am a sun girl. I like it warm and bright.
I looked at Honda Fit info on line today. I could get one for about $400/mo, including insurance. It looks like a fun little car. I'd like to see how it drives. I can't stand the thought of buying a new car. It is such a big decision to make. There are so many out there to chose from. How's a girl supposed to know what's right? Plus, I keep saying that I am going to just run mine into the ground, what with street parking and all. Doesn't make much sense to get a different car. I just feel like mine is some how teetering on the edge. Like everything is fine now, but any day it will come to pieces like the Silver Hornet in the Pink Panther movies. Also, who has $400/mo?
I made cake today for Mammy. When I was five or six, I had to tell my favorite recipe and Mammy's favorite recipe to my teacher. She made a little poster that ended up hanging on our wall for years. My recipe was Totino's pizza with hamburger meat, and Mammy's was pineapple upside-down cake. I don't recall ever eating PUDC before. I didn't quite have the right tools, and managed to fill the house with smoke, but it was good cake. So much for fitting in my bathing suit. Maybe the innertubes on the lazy river will hide the rolls.
Quick note per Buckmister's page...I want to go to Thailand!
Happy Mother's Day.

Funny twistings.
I had a great time in Portland with Cj and Jt. They are the only people that have been able to make me laugh until I cried in recent time. I love them. I felt a bit like I was intruding on their home coming. I hope they didn't mind too much. They always help me put things in perspective, which I appreciate. It was also wonderful to see my furry niece and nephews. It is so nice to curl up with them!
Tonight Mr. Urbane and I went to my "I raised enough money to get invited to a reception" reception. It is a BEAUTIFUL (read sunny and warm) night in the City. We stayed for the drinks and snacks then headed to a place we could sit outside. I think it was the most fun we've had in a long time. I'm glad. It was a school night and I was afraid he'd be dopey. He did bring me home early, but that's a good thing. I need some rest (and time to blog). He laughed heartily over Cj card and gift. He can't wait to be a snowboarder poser along with the rest of us.
I hot rolled my hair tonight..It was fun! I'd take a picture, but the battery is dead. We must have looked cute, because the photographer took our photo a couple of times. Aren't I VAIN?
I am getting so excited about Mexico. Mammy and I have agreed many hours on the lazy river drinking virgin pina coladas in THE thing for US to do! I can't wait. I just need to paint and build shelves in the mean time. Woohoo!
Also, I have to say, it is SO nice to be back with the babies. Miss EE has gotten bigger, but I think she forgot me while I was gone. I'm going to have to give her extra cuddles. Also, A-man vocab/syntax got more complex while I was gone, and he is now excited about getting into the pool. Makes the summer sound WAY fun!
