The following things are all true.
1. Green bees are real.
2. There is a human-sized hole in the fence at the truly fascinating archeological dig site only HALF A BLOCK from our house. And that large hole is very tempting should someone want to do some night exploration (M? You up for this?).
3. On day three of coffee-reduction I caved and had an afternoon cappuccino, which I never ever have, but Neighbor B brought it by. And what can you do.
4. I have found a way to order books that doesn't cost a million dollars, go through the (miserable) post office, or require paying duty. Hallelujah! And better yet--I get to practice my high school German while ordering.
5. Setting up the Scrabble board in the living room yesterday (to-cringe-play against myself) resulted in a lot of satisfaction but also a lot of time wasted. Does this mean I am a loser or a wordsmith or one of those oddballs from Word Freak?
6. Despite recommendations otherwise, I am not singing the praises of the Happy Hippo confectionary treat. Sorry Z.
7. Absolutely no art has been created unless you count thank-you cards that feature Gus's gigantic mug collaged on with a hand-drawn bow-tie.
8. I am secretly hoarding quinoa and cous-cous recipes for the first day P declares them acceptable foods again.
You are going to be waiting a long, long time for number 8. :)
ReplyDeleteEven dry grains don't have a shelf life long enough to outlast me!
ReplyDeleteI think it's sweet that playing against yourself meant actually setting up the physical board, and not sitting at the computer. I'd do it.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the Happy Hippo is a disappointing treat, but he will make a great gift back home! Hilarious. And why isn't P eating quinoa? How cool that green bees are real. Miss you like crazy.
