Beating back entropy with a stick . . .

Delia is signed up for karate for a month. We can't possibly make the Wednesday lessons at 4:30 p.m., so we'll be attending Saturday at 9:00 a.m. There goes my sleep in day. Well, it's for a good cause.

Rob says he will either have the e-mail accounts reconstructed by tomorrow, or mostly re-constructed by tomorrow, but tomorrow night, he says, I can download. ("Unless I get held up somehow.") I'm hanging onto that promise. Then I can clean up the office and start getting back to a normal schedule.

The tub has been re-grouted. It must be dried out and cured and then sealed. Shower Saturday, bath by Thursday, I think. It looks lovely, although the tiles along the bottom row which were replaced have a slightly different glaze. Oh, well. At least it won't leak.

I got books in the mail! Lovely, lovely new books, many of them YA so Fiona will love them, too, fresh from the publisher, sent to me by [livejournal.com profile] sdn, goddess of mercy. This has cheered me up marvelously.

And have learned that Mary Fahl, lead singer formerly of the October Project is coming to town and I'll be able to go hear her at the 400 bar because she'll be playing there on Friday, June 13. And since Friday nights are my designated nights out, I get to go. How cool is that!

So, feeling lots better.

Cheers,
Peg

You MUST go see Mary Fahl! She's got the most amazing stage presence. I saw OP once in concert and was lucky enough to be in the front of a full standing-room-only crowd... it was just amazing. She also has a new CD out, I hear.

Mary Fahl's new CD is wonderful! I put it on promo play at our store, though someone removed it the next day. But it's a lovely CD.

Too cool! Mary Fahl is amazing.

My sleep-in days happen when the kids come in at 7:30 to tell me the "sun is upping!" This is luxury; I usually get up at 4:30. NO sympathy for your 9 am early day.

LOL,

Designated night out??? You get a *Designated* *Night* *Out*??? How did you swing *that*? You get to sleep past 7:30 *and* you get to go out by yourself and do things without small hangers-on? You get to take only *yourself* to the bathroom?

But, but, but....

Our party is that Friday night.

I know!

I already talked with K. about this. I AM bummed that I have the conflict, but I'm hoping to go to both events. Not sure which one first; depends on when both start and how long both last.

Unfortunately, as the host of the party, you don't have that option as easily.

Ahh, fresh books.

Interested in borrowing my complete set of the Jane Yolen Imprint (all YA or picture books) and/or the complete run of Sandman (mostly hardcover I think).

I atleast know where to find all of these, as opposed to the books that are piled in piles not on shelves yet - or possibly to be looking for a different home, ...
