upright again

thank you for all the sympathy pains, i feel much less sheepish about the whole thing. walking normally this last week and enjoying life without thinking about my lower back. but like getting sick on a certain food (shepherds pie and cherry limeade, bleck...) i think i will now have a lingering dread in the back of my mind when any sort of physical exertion of the back variety is called for. ah age. you devil you.

things going on in my head these days. the weather? again with the menopausal stuff, 80 one day and 40 the next. what the freak?? my lilacs were starting to bloom, and if they get all mushy and die because of the freeze, kansas city mark my words, i will never, ever forgive you. you are on the list. watch out. stupid city...

easter fast approaching, we will be spending time with david's parents. which means in my lazy parenting mind, grandma is in charge of all things easter related. the eggs, the baskets, the hunt. all i have to do is put them in cute clothes and take a few pictures. sweet. thank you grandma! still spending lots of time in the kitchen. thanks to this sweet girl, we are hooked on this crazy good and easy cake. aren't they cute? make it right now. i mean it. recently and now forever hooked on the sartorialist. who doesnt love to look at people in cool clothes on the streets of fashionable cities? i dont know who. and lastly a boon to my rusty spanish skills, i have been reading we love crafts mag. so good for me because while i have stacks and stacks of spanish books on my shelves, i dont pick them up. give me arts and crafts in spanish? i'll take it. thank you very much.

oh and in case you all are wondering, the shoes? habitat of course. it is such hard work supporting friends. really takes so much out of me....
