lemons into lemonade

so. gf more than made up for her late homecoming last night. she sensed my thinly-veiled annoyance when she called to say she’d be more than two hours late. so, she came home soon as she could, bearing flowers and a heart shaped balloon… red roses, in fact, and a powerpuff girls balloon. and i only ended up watching half of harry potter. *g*

and now she’s juicing lemons. what she would have done at celina’s last night, had she stayed. celina is catering a film screening party we’re all going to this afternoon, and she’s way behind in preparation, like she always is. so rach is making the lemonade. smells good, anyway.

i’m feeling much better than i have been the last couple days, but still, the headache. oy. and i hate taking painkillers. have been getting lots of sleep. hoping this will help.

i think neville longbottom was in my dream last night. can’t remember how or why. hmm… not the dream about the concert in which i was running around like crazy photocopying and wearing an ugly green velvet dress while cathy m. yelled at me for not being ready.

mmm… lemons

omg. news about the miners being alive is amazing and wonderful but... the description of them trapped in a 48" high space, water up to their chins, breathing desperately through their noses makes me more nauseated than i can remember being in a very long time.

As Albus Dumbledore, you are talented, intelligent, caring and a prominent leader. You have a full awareness of the distinction between right and wrong, and have a good and independant understanding of various moral issues. You are able to take leadership of a large group, and your conscientious and friendly nature makes you respectable to your peers.

hmmm...really? is that me? :)

next up, in order, i would have been hermione, percy, mcgonagall or harry. should i be disturbed that i would have been voldemort before ron?

ok. i know, it must look like i'm being completely useless today. but quite the contrary! i've been cleaning and cleaning. with little spam breaks bc, well, you know, cleaning is boring. have no fear, it will end soon as i have to leave for that film screening party.

so it would have been a good idea for me to check the street number of the house i was going to before leaving my house this afternoon. i was almost all the way there on the subway before i realized that i hadn't. oops. ok, i thought to myself, i will go to the street where the house is and look for our car and see which house seems to be having a party. this should work. it didn't. i wandered the street, up and down, found our car around the corner - wrong street, not helpful. so then i walked out to the main st. and found a pay phone and tried to call rach on the cell repeatedly but she wasn't answering. tried not to cry out of frustration over my unbelievable stupidity. i walked back to the car, sat in it and read for a while. then drove away, figuring i could go to a friends house nearby and wait for rach to call. fortunately, i tried calling her once more before doing this and she answered and i went to the house. what an annoying little experience.

and the party wasn't really all that anyway. i missed the movie, which didn't sound like much. celina's food was really good... but not quite impressive enough to warrant the stress it produced. except the ice cream. she made her own vegan coconut rum ice cream. yum! that was goodness in frozen form. we didn't stay long anyway. which was fine. i didn't really know anyone and i was hot and tired.
