Hi.
Hi.
What are your shoes doing way over there?
I don't know.
Did you put them there?
I really don't know.
Did you take them off over there?
I have no recollection, whatsoever.
Hmmm.

Uh, the hard drive of the desktop computer started making sounds that reminded me of popcorn in an aluminum pan over really high heat. This is very, very bad. This is very stressful.

That same day I reached under my bathroom sink and discovered a truly hideous, rank mess that has something to do with rotten fiberboard and a leak that has been dripping for who knows how many years.

And there has been a gut wrenching discussion with no conclusion.

All of which is to say that my lazy, hazy, fa la la days of summer vacation seem to be over.

Then again. What fun I've had the past few days.

Kaboom fireworks of the more celebratory kind, dinner with friends, a rockus pool party in the country with little kids with curly hair throwing sparklers at each other. Lots of wine and too little water. I ate skirt steak and it was so good...it had a spicy rub. And a lamb sandwhich with arugula and garlic aioli. And roasted piggy.

It's been a very meaty week.

The heat, the heat and a ruined pedicure. And a sexy dress. All will be fine, fine.
