mojosmomI spent most of last week coaching a trial advocacy seminary. Friday night, there was a pizza party for participants and faculty, and three of us killed a couple of bottles of wine and debated the problems of the world, country, state, county and city. Unfortunately, we solved none of them!
The weekend has been very lazy. I've basically run errands and done stuff around the house and read. I slept until 9:30 this morning! I never do that! Reading Donna Leon's A Sea of Troubles, I came across this passage: "He found Paola at the kitchen table, head bent over a copy of either Panorama or Espresso, the two weekly magazines to which she subscribed. Her custom was to let back issues pile up for at least six months before reading them, for she insisted that this was sufficient time to put things into proper perspective . . ." So I went and threw out any New Yorker or Opera News dated before January, 2007 (and there were too many).
I shampooed one of the few carpets in my house, which is in a small sunroom off the living room. Of course, it takes a while to dry, and Lilith was quite startled when she went in and discovered the carpet was damp. It was quite amusing to see her tip-toeing around the perimeter! After all was dry and vacuumed and the furniture back in place, she was content once more:
And just so Marissa doesn't feel left out, here's a cute photo of her, too:
She is "helping" me get the box of light bulbs down off a shelf.
