and carry the young lambs in his bosom

ok, done playing suburban mom for today. drove monkey to the hospital for her appointment and rach to the bus stop bc she was running late.

i have a headache. and the worst thing is that i know why. because i slept later than usual and then did my little driving errands before having coffee. thus, a caffeine headache. hurts a little more for the shame.

eh. sooo groggy. meh. but i have goals. plans. yup, real important ones too. i'm going to make icons for harrimad_sol and camillafarfalla this morning. and then trapse off to my mom's house to watch fotr. see? told ya it was all important.

also, have to share this from camillafarfalla who happens to be re-reading lotr: "The Ents all have a lengthy and slow-moving council to discuss everything before _they_ make any attack. I'd like to hear W. try to justify unilateral-regime-change War to them."
hahaha. sadly, i doubt our dear president, who still can't pronounce the word 'nuclear' is likely to make it through one page of tolkien.

wee gip

whoa! the whole morning is gone! just a little icon-making and talking to camillafarfalla. we got a bit carried away, first laughing and cringing at the worst ever picture of tom felton as draco. then visiting tomfelton.com and rupertgrint.net and being very silly and laughing til my face hurt. and now it's time to go watch fotr with mom. if she doesn't like it i'll... do something. or, more likely, nothing. just mope. and then put it out of my mind because she has horrible taste anyway. expect the worst, that's what i'll do. because then i can only be pleasantly surprised.

a former turkish bishop and 6 to 8 black men

david sedaris was fabulous. so fucking funny. how can any one person be that witty?

my mother handled fotr pretty well. liked it ok. which is better than my dad telling me it was boring. and she made one funny. during the scene in rivendell, before the council, when gandalf and elrond are talking... elrond's saying his men are weak, leaderless, scattered thing and gandalf says there is one who could unite them and my mom pipes up:

jimmy carter?

ahahahaha!!! something about that just has me laughing my proverbial ass off. go mom.

so now, i have to pack and go to bed, bc we're leaving in the morning. even though i'd rather respond to comments and e-mails and all those good little lj-er things (including finishing your icons, harrimad_sol - i will do it but probably not til tuesday).

have a great (long, if you're american) weekend! i really will miss y'all. ::kisses::
