in which life gives me the finger.
yesterday was the last day of truman's manhood. i was going to write something mourning the loss of his boyish virility, until i thought about it for oh two seconds or so, and realized what a boon this was for our family. you see truman has, for the past month or so, been going through the dog version of male puberty, and here's what that's like: its like being trapped with a crazed lunatic midget crackhead, one who constantly rushes at your heels and nips your pant legs, repeating the same two phrases over and over again (wanna play?!?! and is it time to eat yet?!?!?). i know those of you who have met truman will find this hard to believe, but he's actually MORE insane than he was before. so yay for the snip-snip -- perhaps the loss of testosterone will take the truman volume (which now goes to eleven) down a couple notches. or ten.
fingers crossed.
in other news, jamie left last night for his best friend ravi's bachelor party in miami, where daytime highs are presently hovering around 85 degrees. [shoots self in face] he'll doubtless be whooping it up in ways i don't even want to contemplate for the next several days (oh, did i mention this “party” goes on until NEXT TUESDAY??), whilst i tend our psychotic post-op dog and [ahem, cough] “spirited” toddler.... alone. all by myself. until tuesday. oh yes, and i believe its supposed to rain like *every single day* between now and then. is it just me, or does this sound like the prologue to some sort of horror movie?
at least i'll have aqua teen hunger force (vol.1, disc 1) to help keep me company, thanks to our most beloved netflix. and its sad commentary to note that, in all honesty, its likely that watching a cartoon meatball, milkshake, and side order of fries fight crime may in fact constitute the sanest moments i'll have this weekend.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force! Yay! I just saw last night while walking through Target that it is out on DVD, came home and instantly moved it to the top of my Netflix queue.
Recently discovered your blog. Love your garden, love your house. Your neighborhood sounds very cool.

I have a question for anyone who would know: is Netflix any good? I would love to get signed up and have DVDs delivered to my house if the service is good. I don't know anyone who uses it, so any information would be much appreciated. Thanks!

vanessa: netflix is not good, IT IS AWESOME. seriously, best $18 i spend a month. amazing selection, you don't have to drive anywhere, you get to keep 3 dvds at a time, and the turn-around is amazing, never more than 3 days. ample time to prepare for friday or sat night viewing every week.
c'mon, you know you wanna.
