well i didn't get to post last night when i got home - my mom was helping my dad put together a presentation on wound care (it's a continuing ed sort of thing for doctors)and they were up until way after their usual bedtime. i made them spaghetti with green chiles (fresh roasted, not from a can:) )
i did go see mammaw, but i swung by mom's office and she went with me, so that was nice. she was very very shaky bc of her meds i think (the breathing treatment) but seemed happy to see us. she always seems so tired. she could barely sit up when i went to hug her. i think she had a rough night - she had a bunch of blood drawn and a CAT scan and all that fun stuff - she also had a supersized dose of lasix so that was kindof an icky experience for her (

after we left, mom and i got lunch at Wan Fu's, a nice little chinese restaurant near her office - they let me add bean curd to my broccoli with garlic sauce :)
karin and i had been plotting to go the Kimball since there apparently is free admission on wed and the first sun of every month - but we waited too late to get over there before they closed :( but we had fun hanging out and playing with the new kitten. john found it out behind cousins barbecue. it's an adorable little black kitten, maybe 3mo old? so cute! fun times :) :p
today has been a day of laundry and much running about the house like a crazy person weeeeeeeee!
i know everyone is thinking, but laundry isn't hard! it isn't - it's just that i had to clean out the sink completely so i could wash my skirts (i have to do them by hand) and then i couldn't find the woolite but i found out that our normal degerent is biodegradable and perfectly ok for handwashing (no problems with it anyway). i also discovered that putting the dehumidifier in the bathroom and setting it to "high" while i'm drying my skirts (i hang them on the shower rod since we don't have anywhere in our yard for a line) makes it go lots faster! THIS monkey can solve problems :D
well mom just walked in so i should turn the musica down and go feed miss penny (our dog, her real name is moneypenny)
ooo and i got my reservation for the train up to norman - guardiandragon and i are going to visit rohangypsy for a few days, but i will be in town til the 11th or 12th!!
