YEP.

Celebrageddon™ continues, although Death now seems to be concentrating on the D-List. Whatever. As long as it swings back around and wields the mighty scythe of doom at Madonna or Oprah next, I’m cool with it.

Baby Charge’s party was fun but it lead to a new discovery of my limits – two beers + afternoon heat = exhaustion. I was wiped out after just a couple of hours…but managed to rally when some friends called us to say they were over at our FAVORITE LOCAL HANGOUT. Beer and laughs were had, then sleep was had. We got up this morning and met some other friends at ENOTECA for brunch…our friend Erik ordered coffee AND a Bloody Mary – I had just ordered coffee, with plans for a Bloody Mary to follow but I liked his idea of the recovery beverage/hair of the dog combo, so I followed suit. And guess what? I have a headache now and will napping shortly. Quelle surprise.

I worked through my travel angst and have booked another Chicago trip for the end of July. Now that Mystery Bros. kids are older and my sister’s kids are about to scatter for college, these big reunions are going to be fewer and farther between and I didn’t want to miss out. My mom is thrilled that all of her little chickies and 2nd-generation chickies will be home to roost for a week or so. She called me today to ask if S. and I needed anything from Sam’s Club. Uh, no….

I want to leave you with this home movie CLAUDIA sent me. I think she’s the girl feeding part of her sandwich to a dog, then offering the rest to her friend. Enjoy.
