Monkey Poundcake

We are in Clemson, SC. We got the only two-room suite we could find. Kid needs her space, we need our space; it's better if these two spaces are separate.

Ignore for a moment the bathroom resplendent with a two-person jacuzz, 4"hexagonal white tile, a stone wall, and dark wood ceiling, and focus on the bedroom. There is a king, and above the king, is a king-plus mirror. On the ceiling. It is framed in the same dark oak that accentuates the rest of the suite. This is my first experience with a ceiling mirror. I will tell you now that there are some things you really don't need to know what you look like while you are doing.

I guess this is it for me - I've been tagged with a meme by this lady.

I AM: so many things, so many, many things
I WANT: someone else to decide
I WISH: I felt more productive and contributive
I HATE: waste and inefficiency, that goes against my lazy nature
I MISS: my husband since he left me again, but only for a couple of months this time
I HEAR: my own sniffling since allergies accompanied my return to CA a few days ago
I WONDER: how badly I'll screw up my current project
I REGRET: all those guys, all that debt, all those wasted years
I AM NOT: sorry I just spent a year in NC, all new experiences make me smarter and more humble
I DANCE: and then am embarrassed when I see pictures or, god forbid, video, gah
I CRY: all the damn time
I AM NOT ALWAYS: good at keeping in touch with people
I MAKE WITH MY HANDS: many of the foods
I WRITE: to tell stories to make people laugh or to keep people updated on us since I suck at keeping in touch
I CONFUSE: my husband at least once a week
I NEED: to go to the doctor, the DMV, and the mechanic - all of which involve talking to people, gah
I SHOULD: probably get started on that list
I START: trouble whenever I can
I FINISH: my dinner
I TAG: oh, I don't know, I don't like to pass burdens along. If you wanna do it, tell me and I'll put you on here. Okay? I'm a coward, what can I say.

Why can't our politicians be catty?

But according to this email I got today, I might be soon:

Hi
Buy viagra or die!
Have a nice day.

Thursdays mean two things to me -- half-nekkid and Scrabble. The nekkid part usually happens late Wednesday night to get in right as the page turns, the Scrabble happens at 11am at the club with the ladies. We play two rounds with lunch in between. Often I have the highest scoring word of the day and, usually, I come in third overall. We play for money so it matters.

Half-Nekkid Thursday, talk about a triple word score. ;)
