Kicking back, watching Robin Hood. We've watched GI Joe and Sex in the City (surprisngly good - I've never seen the show) so far tonight.

A very relaxing day. Feeling pretty nice and calm and just ahhhh. Started out the day with sitting at the table, sipping coffee and going through cookbooks with my daughter. She found a recipe that sounded interesting, so we discussed that, Media West, and a host of other things. Nice way to start a Saturday!

The four of us (me, Roo, Dem, [info]queenmidalah) headed to the mall to get some errands taken care of, then [info]queenmidalah and I got pedicures. Got cut, too. Not the best place, apparently! At least we have shiny, happy feet now, though. The broken toe doesn't hurt as much any longer, even. It's a happy thing.

What I really need is a massage. If my back were any tighter, it'd be pulling in on itself. I can't remember the last massage I had, I think it was before the divorce.

[info]annaonthemoon got married on Thursday and had the reception last night. It was very nice! Roo and Demmy helped out, even making sure that people had appetizers as they mingled.

Congratulations to the happy bride and groom!

Wedding cake

Rising Phoenix, Divorce
Crumb coating done. Will finish it tomorrow. Odd, though - the only break I will take from decorating a wedding cake?

Lunch with my ex-husband.

He stopped in tonight to pick up his mail. After he left, I came downstairs and hopped online to a "you've got matches" email from POF.

Funny, Universe. Very funny.

Sitting it out this year. Between work and just life in general, there is no way I'm going to be able to come up with the time, energy or creativity to get through it.

Next year.

I didn't chicken out!

Spent most of the night making sure my lady bits were covered, but I didn't chicken out! [info]queenmidalah says there were men flirting with me, but I think I missed it.

At first, I felt like a guy in drag, when I put the blue and white wig on, but it was fun!

[info]queenmidalah won for best female costume, too!

A mother's sacrifice

Talking to my mom tonight on my drive home from work (she called me back after my, um, butt called her for me!), we were talking about things from when I was growing up.

We were talking about times when Dad, or one of us kids, would invite someone to dinner without asking her first. We were not well-off, sometimes under the poverty level, I think. So there were times when dinner was on the lean side.

I told her tonight that she might have thought we didn't notice, but we knew there were times when she didn't have a piece of chicken like everyone else, or hardly ate at all because there wasn't enough to serve everyone.

You know, she never complained. Not once. Tonight was the first time in 40 years, though, that I thanked her for that.

Three things

1 - I emailed Mary Alice about POSSIBLY doing a cake for Media instead.

2 - Went to see Paranormal Activity tonight with [info]queenmidalah, Roo and Dem. I am sleeping with the lights on tonight. I don't care how much of a wimp that makes me, so there!

3 - Alida's changed her look again. Now she looks like this. It's not too different (different skin and hair), but it's a little more intense than her last look.
