It’s Spring! Yay!
I don’t have huge plans this weekend. I think I’m going to buy and plant a
Forsythia. Because I can.

So, there’s a house right near ours that’s home to two
lovely Blue Tick Hounds. I met them
shortly after we moved in when their owner was taking them for a walk. Their names are Myrna and Honey. I have no idea what the owner’s name is. That’s how it works in the dog world. They’re great dogs. If not for them, I’d never know an ambulance
or fire engine was approaching – that, and that alone, makes them howl like the
end of the world is nigh.

When we first moved in, we were taking Lola on a walk around
the block and she was “telling” us about a party she was going to throw while
we were at work. We had a voice we used
when speaking for Lola. Anyway, she (which
is to say, I) was rattling off the guest list of all the animals she planned to
invite and said, “Myrna, but NOT Honey.
And she knows why.”
That cracks me up every time I think about it.
There’s another neighborhood dog who shall remain
nameless. Her owners leave her out all
the time and she barks constantly. I’d be annoyed with her, but she’s a
dog. The owners… I’m definitely a little
annoyed with. I dream of taking a nap
someday that isn’t punctuated with the staccato barks of a frustrated little
beast.
I’m always amused to see parties and weddings inspired by
The Great Gatsby. To be fair, I don’t
remember everything about it from High School, but fundamentally, I know it’s
about the appearance of opulence, infidelity, jealousy and deceit. These seem like excellent values to base a
party on.
Just call it a Roaring 20s Party and let people figure it
out from there.
Now, a Grapes of Wrath wedding – that might be interesting.

I got a haircut last night.
I hate to be so vain, but I bet I think this song is about me. And, it looks good. Really, really good.

Trying to get back onto the path of healthy eating, but that
path is obstructed with quicksand-y piles of sugar. If I could give up sugar, salt, fats and
starchy foods, I’d be golden.
And cranky for a bit.
That’s plenty for now.
