Cholera Schmolera

Beach Hut, Ecks Os, and a Birfday Song for Stef
All is right in the world once again. Meaning: Stef is back where I can harass her on a daily basis (sometimes more), Saara is back where she’s communicatable again (is that even a word? I almost used communicable, but the only way I’ve ever heard that used is partnered with disease, as in communicable disease, and I certainly don’t want to imply that she is that when she’s anything but), and I’m back to doing lame-brained idiotic things.

Happy birfday to you!

Where’s the line in the budget for Starbucks?
Tired today…stayed up too late doing pretty much nothing at all. Don’t you hate it when you do that? When you’re looking at the clock going, “It’s almost midnight, I should turn in,” and then you keep reading the magazine? Stupid stupid.

‘Nilla Puddin’
Life is good. Guuuuud. Steffi is back in the U.S. (we spent 1 hr. 30 min. on the phone tonight catching up), our power is still on, we balanced our budget for month-end July and M didn’t scowl at the computer screen and shake his head and I didn’t cry a single tear (wooo hooo! we made up $24!), Zozo went down like a dream (like she always does, awesome kid that she is), and now M is makin’ me some ‘nilla puddin’. I gots my cat sitting here and a glass of ice cold milk waiting. The air conditioner kicks on regularly, keeping our home at a comfortable 76 degrees. What could be better?!

Back to the grind (and happy to be here!)
It’s so nice to be back to normal again. Whatever “normal” is. I mean, being back in our own home, on our regular schedule. Feels like a vacation!

More Stein Boxes!
Worked on the basement today, while M worked on Christmas. I found more A-B stein boxes. Sheesh. We’re going to need to rent a storage unit just for those. I also found:

Red-y To Help
Beans and I got our mani/pedis last night. Well, I got a mani/pedi, Beans got just a pedi. Our toes are happy. I went with Dutch Tulips on the toes and a classic french on the fingers. To keep them looking good, of course, I can’t do any dishes for awhile. (Hint hint M!)

Home Sweet Electrically Powered Home
We have power!!!! After 8 days, and staying at two other houses (thank you Grandma Frank and Mom & Dad Z), we have a house in which everything turns on and runs as it’s supposed to. There is no sweeter sound than that of the air conditioner kicking on.
