a new day, a new template

isn't this the most horrific color you've ever seen? a bottle of pepto barfed up onto the page. nice.
a dear friend of mine has begun a blog at www.topicdrift.blogspot.com. you should look. it's a dandy read.
just dandy!
we have a bird's nest in a hanging plant on our front porch. in it you will find what appears to be five baby birds. our screen door knocked into the hanging plant and knocked it to the ground. the little birds are fine and there were only two or three that were tossed out from their nest -- and they were very still, sort of just hanging in the small leaves of the plant -- but i picked them up, one by one, and it was actually pretty tempting to just take one. but any one of our four cats would have eaten the damn thing, so back in the nest it went.
that's one hell of a run-on sentence.

we are preparing for our trip to cancun. we leave very very a.m. on wednesday and i'm packed for the most part. swimsuit shopping was one thing i would have like to avoid for an 8th year in a row, however the idea of traipsing in the cancun sand with boxers and a wifebeater on didn't do too much for me.

and how is my lose 50 -- i mean, lost 30 by age 30 plan going?
hmm.
i guess i can say that i've started drinking the new coke to work toward that goal. have you tried new coke?
COCA-COLA C2 (product placement) is said to have half the carbs of regular coke.
and i'm not jumping on the scary atkins bandwagon, but cutting out sugar a little bit couldn't hurt.
but how does it taste, you ask?
better than diet coke. not as good as regular coke. it doesn't have that nice familiar burn that the first drink of a coke has. i miss the burn. but this will do.

i should sleep. i should have dinner. i should watch tv. i should sleep. i can't decide.
i should make sleep my friend. too much to do tomorrow.
perhaps the next post will be from
South of the Border TM. it just might be.
