i wear earrings, yes it's true

aaah, bedtime. the house is quiet, except for the hum of the air conditioner. my book club book is calling me...sleep. come to bed. read three of my pages and fall gently asleep.

this weekend rocked the casbah. i hope yours did too. it involved the following, not necessarily in order:

being scared by large groups of screaming teenagers

meeting up for a friday night date (tee hee) with my girl femiknit...sharing rice krispy treats bigger than our heads and chocolate and delicious drink treats. reading trollish books and getting stared at for being trolls together, as c. knit a vest. yes people, she was knitting a sweater vest, and actually stopped to wonder why people thought we were crazy (tee hee). i, however, proceeded to vent and fume and ponder my future as i usually do when i hang out with c. it was perfect c. therapy.

saturday was my date day with john. we've been planning this all week, calling and emailing each other like lovesick teenagers, discussing all the details. when sat. rolled around, we hucked the kids off to two separate familysitters, and left for our mini trip to maine- the maine diner. people, if you haven't had a taste of the maine diner, get yourself a map and drive yo asses to wells, ME for some good stinkin' eats.

i had about four pounds of lobster stuffed into a buttery roll, and my old man of a husband had a turkey dinner, with garnish and all. we laughed, went antique non-shopping, discovered new beaches (wells, york), found a new photobooth, found the strangest arcade game ever, where you "fish" for lobsters, and if you win, a real live lobster falls out (i took pictures, i swear i'm not lying). we also went to a drive-by liquor store on the highway, just because we could. gotta love new hampshire, i tell you.

(the lobster zone video game- only in new england)

today was cleaning and more eating and waking and driving to 'todd farm'- this big outdoor antique market/flea market/mud pit in the middle of nowhere. we took my fairy of a mother-in-law. i bought an electric blue apron that features enamelware pots and spoons-- and of course wore it around the whole time. luckily my family loves me and didn't abandon me, despite their embarrassment.

now it's off to bed. to rest my head. i'm posting the pictures of the earrings just to prove that i actually did 1. purchase them and 2. wear them.
