heading to the horseshow in Wilsonville momentarily; but first, getting in a healthy dose of lollygagging around the house.
Weekend trip to Utah for my high school reunion is looking a little pricey; considering cutting the rental car and keeping the gigolo.
At the state fair. @serrat is seriously considering coming home with a bunny.
Truth be told, I’m getting a little bored at the horseshow. Considering having a little private cocktail party here at the barn.
Hooooraaaayyy for dinner from the garden. http://snipurl.com/3ku3f
Did I tell you it’s a slumber party at my house this weekend? Right now … 6 girls in the house. Totally fun.
As Palin joins our cast of characters, I catalog the possibilities for Christopher Buckley’s next novel and look forward to the movie.
Out of town guests = toooo much food. Now topping off the evening at Pix.
trying to explain to the dog why she’s not allowed on *any* furniture while we have guests in town…I don’t think she’s really getting it.
Skipping coffee this morning was a bad idea. This meeting can’t end soon enough.

lonelysandwich: First day as a freelancer and I’ve already crossed “watch like 20 stupid videos” and “shower” off my list. Should have done this years ago.
home from a lovely dinner @ Toro Bravo. Sister asleep in the time it takes me to turn off the lights & brush my teeth. Totally jealous.
My sister is in town and I’ve been subtlety banging around the house for the last hour and a half hoping she’d wake up and keep me company.
finally! sister awake! Had I known which of the two newly occupied rooms she was in, I would have been in jumping on the bed much earlier.
Yay!! Little brother got the job in Hong Kong … I guess I know where I’ll be traveling next year.
considering the following: Utah in Sept… Family in PDX in Oct… Spain & France in Nov/Dec… Christmas in Montana… Arizona in January.
Vicky Cristina Barcelona !! ♥
Are you depressed because you’re fat and lazy and out of shape? http://is.gd/1rxM

politics just isn’t as sexy as it used to be …
Cuba gets the silver … good game … South Korea got the gold … no baseball in the next summer olympics. #olympics08
it’s gonna be a busy weekend … but first … a little rest to help recover from a busy week.
watching Cuba go for the gold in baseball. #olympics08

Considering an early bedtime …
glad to hear that @JoshuaRPsan & Co. are safe and sound again.
obsessing over my high school reunion website … can’t. stop.
my notes from a meeting yesterday include “editable interface.” I keep reading it as “edible interface” and it makes me feel a little funny.
Would anyone like to join me at the state fair this weekend? I’m especially interested in the “Jaripeo” — http://is.gd/1Qlk
Morning meetings … lovely lunch in the park … Tropic Thunder … fun conversation … bedtime.
The jury is still out on how I’m feeling about this backyard transformation. More sun = good. More neighbor’s backyard … not as thrilled.
walked into my backyard tonight to find an entirely transformed space. Took a while to realize a huge tree was missing from an adjacent lot.
still on a bit of a high after a nice lunch and conversation with two good friends.
having *serious* focusing problems today. Why can’t twitter be down today? And I should delete this ABBA playlist.
my god … this coffee is sooooooo goooood.
I didn’t like most of yesterday and I’m unprepared for today. So, maybe if I could have a Tuesday do-over, I’d do better this time.
feeling the effects of last night’s cocktails more this morning than I did last night. Now … that’s just not right.
Trying, and failing, to find that college girl I once was who could stay up all night to get the job done. This old lady needs some sleep.
back from a lovely evening of drinks with the lovely @sgreenfield. Now … back to work.
I’m kind of loving the sound of rain outside right now. Though … it’s making me a little sleepy …
Seriously! Stop with the slurping!!
I love meeting friends at a spot *right across the street* from my house. Everything should be across the street from my house.
I love it when co-workers decide to read emails out loud for the entire office to enjoy. Because, I don’t have enough email of my own.
Feeling *really* awful about leaving my dog home alone to contend with her fear of thunder.
an empty bagel sized plate next to a fresh cup of coffee & a bagel in the toaster … wouldn’t you assume that plate was already spoken for?
Feeling overwhelmed and stuck. Blaming the heat.
Spider Olympics 2008 are hosted in my backyard. Upon each pass through, I come out with a new silk mesh sweater.
Popsicles for dinner tonight.
Went grocery shopping hot and hungry. Cleaned up on grapes, yogurt, popsicles and diet grapefruit soda … who knew there was such a thing!?
