dragonlady7Actually it's partly cloudy. But really, only partly.
Spent the early morning reading Oak and Willow by Marnie. Aside: I hate ff.net and find it totally unusable. Why bother letting you bookmark stories if you can't do so unless you're logged in and you're automatically not logged in every time you open a new window? Arsemonkeys, the lot of them.
The story is beautiful, and I was so taken up by how beautiful it was that I tried to explain it to Dave. That went over like the proverbial whatever-it-is-that-floats-poorly. (Lead! Churches! Very small rocks! But no.) Mostly, he just deliberately misunderstood me, which is his way.
It didn't annoy me, though, because he made breakfast, and we were discussing it over fried potato sponges and some sort of eggs cooked most of the way but yolky. (I am not an eggs person so I don't know what the fancy names apply to. I only eat eggs when Dave cooks 'em, really.) It is hard to resent someone's noodgeliness when you are eating food he has cooked for you in an expert and, one could even say, loving fashion. (Dave loves food immoderately.)
I washed my hair and have been being very vain about it today, leaving it down and playing with it as it dries in the sun etc. It's fun. I don't get to be vain much. Have been garden-puttering. More pictures; must become not-lazy and post them. Beautiful tulips. The sugar snap peas are positively robust little seedlings now. That picture I posted a while back of the first pea seedling? Was a weed. The peas are up now but I can't differentiate. It's warm and I'm in ripped jeans and flip-flops. I wish our backyard were bigger.
There: stream-of-consciousness in shorter sentences than usual.
Ought to do some cleaning today. Likelihood of actually doing it is low. Dave is doing Massive Quantities of Schoolwork today, but we may take a bike ride later. Perhaps. He is increasingly close to done. Any moment now the sky will fall.
I suppose I'd better go back outside before it does.

Date: 2005-05-07 11:32 am (UTC)I just started this journal about a month ago (and that's also as long it took me to remember that you're an avid blogger). I was pressured into starting it by some scary linguist-people.
Yay! A friend I found on my own! Yay! All my other lj-friends mostly belong to somebody else...

Date: 2005-05-07 01:11 pm (UTC)I am overjoyed. Overjoyed! But I think I said that already.
Oooooh, you touch my tra-la-la. My ding-ding dong. Dj Njørd in the house. &c.
Muoah, massive headache catches up with me and I must go drink bucketloads of water. Later.
