A cartoon sweater, A journey home

No, my sweater does not have cartoons on it... it just seems like the kind of sweater that a cartoon would wear as their "signature outfit."

I guess because it reminds me of Charlie Brown.

I've got a terribly busy day. Work, home to do yoga, pick up my disabled buddy Daniel (we're going out to dinner for his birthday, he turned 23 on Tuesday!), off to St. Paul with the boy to see Evita at the Ordway (our friend James is in the show!), a quick drink with James after the show, home to pack because I am flying home tomorrow morning for a funeral. In high school, my friend Amy and I were inseparable. I spent a LOT of time at her house. I was the Paul to her Kevin, if you will...

and the fact that I was spending the night most weekends soon became assumed. Anyway, her father died so I'm going home to go to the wake. He was a hilarious and generous man and would always try to get the gossip out of me about who Amy liked and what was going on in her life that he didn't know about (usually in a ridiculous girly voice). Have a fabulous weekend, while I'm so sad about her dad, I'm excited that I'll be able to see my parents and my brother (and his new house, which is closing tomorrow!).

Sorry for the absence yesterday, I had the day off! And what I wore was nothing to write home about since I spent most of the day doing a deep clean on my condo. I hate doing it but love how it looks afterwards... you know when instead of Swiffering the kitchen you get down on your hands and knees and scrub the whole thing? And like move all the stuff on shelves to really dust and clean? And do weird things like wash the garbage can? And take q-tips to the gunky area around the faucet? I hate it but then when I'm done, I'm so amazed at how nice my house looks and vow to keep it that way. Which lasts two weeks. And then it slowly falls into disrepair and half-assed cleanings. Repeat. For the 11 years I've lived on my own. Oh well, it will look glorious for a few days!
