so it turns out
that I have a wedding to go to the day after Manilow. In New York. From one magnificent party to another.
Other things of note:
1. I have a tan. Really. Imagine...pasty white me, tan. :)
2. Joe forgot to pull the paper off the disposable litter box while we were out at Mirror Lake in NH on vacation last week and Romeo decided that the big rubber plant in the living room was a suitable cat box. Well, he is smart, I have to give him that. We at first thought he was disgruntled, but then realized that he was just using his next option. Besides, how could he be disgruntled? He had Paulette taking care of him (in between hanging out with Jerry Springer (literally!) that is).
3. CONGRATULATIONS TO BRENT AND MARY ANN!!!! WOOOOHOOOO YOU TWO! You better be sending some pictures in my direction! I want to see this Dreat guy once and for all. ;)
4. Joe and I have decided that we're going to France next year. No clue how or when, but it is going to happen. We're targeting 10 days. I minored in French...figured I better actually put all that education to use. But it's been 10 years now and a brush up is DEFINITELY in order. Would welcome any recommends on places to eat or stay in Paris or any of the wine regions.
5. When I get my first paycheck from the super cool new job (I haven't had a paycheck in a month!!), I'm getting one of these:
6. I learned about the wicked cool Archimedes Palimpsest today.
7. Urbanoutback pointed out what someone else pointed out...in that every day you think of a monkey. OMG it's SO TRUE! Every day since then, a monkey has surfaced at some point during the day. Amazing. EVERY DAY YOU THINK OF A MONKEY.
8. In case you ever wondered about the evolution of food, now there is the Food Timeline
9. WOOOHOOO I made the Wikipedia. Who knew that a little jaunt by Joanie and I would end up being a bit more than 15 minutes of fame?
And I'm sleeeepy.

Tell me when you'll be in France and I'll meet you in Paris or someplace cool :)
Tell me what kind of fun you're looking for and I'll tell you what I think is neat France-wise.
I wanna see what Brent/Dreat looks like too.
Congrats on new $$$/job. SO that's where you've been all this time.

When I get the picture of Jerry and me I'll send it your way
Posted by: Paulette at August 6, 2004 05:10 PM
Did you guys get the pictures??

Wow, that's true! You do think of a monkey every day! How weird.
You're lucky you had a rubber plant. Our cats seem to think the bath tub is the next stop, say if we're changing the box and they just can't wait. Heh.

More info on the supercool new job!
I have a tan, too--a farmer's tan. :( I slather on the zinc oxide before I go out to garden, but still, there it is...
