the yellow velvet couch is gone.

and the pup went to the vet.
$280 later
the vet informed us that we'd have to come back.
oh, and the vet didn't agree with a raw food diet.

he said with an entire store of
*science diet* sitting in his waiting room

interestly enough,
i didn't win the 150M lottery last night.
but then again,
neither did anyone else.

hmmmmm.

yesterday i played my first 18 holes of golf.
cape neddick in ogunquit maine.
a lovely course.

i even got a bogey on a hole.

other than that..i didn't really keep score
although the words *double par* kept coming up.

on a different note:
had to buy new pants because none of mine fit me.
size 6 at JCrew.
lordy, lordy.

i have found my new favourite place:

Coffee Break Cafe

located at 131 Pearl Street Braintree,
*other locations in Holbrook, and Quincy(?) perhaps*

no matter.
they have an iced german chocolate decaf
that is FAN-tastic.
with a wee bit o'cream
and a pkg of splenda
this girl is round and happy

off to bonfire for a duck confit taco
and a cable car..
or two

my 3 wood had a crack in it
i know this only because it made a
*BOINK*
noise when i hit it.
that wouldn't be unusual for me
but it also happened with my golf instructor.
so i brought it back to wayland golf
and they exchanged it for a new one.

ain't that grand?

a few years ago
one of my childhood friends
died in a car accident.
we had been close growing up.
even after she died
i would talk to her
every now and again
when I thought about her
or if something was happening
where I thought she might be watching me.
it was always a one sided conversation.
just so we all know.

but then last night.
i dreamed about her.
we were having a conversation.
and she said,
*you should play the lottery monday*
and i asked her if winning the lottery
would cause more problems
than it would solve...
and would i be substituting the problems
of having money
for the ones of not having money.

and she said,
*play the lottery on monday*

and so i shall.

thanks marsha.
i miss you.

ordered Henri L'Orange
a car seat
in blackwatch plaid

damn, he's going to be labeled a
lesbian golfer
without actually being either

not that there's anything wrong with that.

dinner was leftover korean food
and a very smooth 2001 Muse cabernet shiraz
can't beat best cellars under $10-15 wines
mmmmmmmm.

tomorrow is my daddy's birthday

Sunday, June 13, 2004

yesterday was one of the best
boston gay pride parades
that i've been to

and not just because i caught
lots and lots of beads
or that i traded a smooch
for a vw t-shirt

but because of the joy
of a beautiful day
and a beautiful girl
and wonderful friends
and the couple that got married
after 49 years together

we should all be so blessed

um...i'm wearing my underwear inside out
didn't realize this
interesting turn of events until
i was running late to a meeting
and by then i didn't really have a chance
to rectify the matter

dinner at 6pm with good friends
and then out to see the gay men's chorus at 8pm.
last night was kim english at manray
gina made a comment that she hadn't
been to manray in about 2 years
funny, i haven't
been to manray in about 20 years.
sigh

today was the puppy's first day at puppy school.

henri l'orange
did very well

we are SO proud

my mother used to make popcorn
on the first day of school
every year

but i didn't think henri
would appreciate popcorn
as much as i did
when i was little

and a hockey team from FLORIDA
just won the stanley cup

Sunday, June 06, 2004

another full day...
there was organization to do,
and hair to cut,
and bills to pay.

and at the end of it all
there was
the season finale of the sopranos

blech

Sheer Berry LipSense
by SeneGence

3 coats.
with a gloss on top.

full report to come
but let me just say this

DAMN

went HayMarket this morning
to find veggies to pulp for the pup
ended up with terrone from modern pastry,
2 bottles of 1974 Glenrothes single malt speyside scotch
1 bottle of 1992 Glenrothes
4 pair of Nike dry fit golf shorts
and 2 pair of Giorgio Armani silk pants

interestingly enough
the pup never got his pulp

WHAT is the world coming to?

Wednesday, June 02, 2004

i have BEEN to the promised land
or as close as i'll probably get...

...the driving range

1st time with the new clubs.
pppppppprrrrrrrrrrrr

i just wish i didn't suck.

i supposed to get my 1040X forms to my cpa
but i can't seem to find them.
if anyone knows where they might be...
i'd be much obliged

can i call my credit card companies
and request a year in review statement?
from 2001?

Tuesday, June 01, 2004

ah...june.
pity it's only 12 degrees outside
(or 54..whatever)

talked today about my fear of being afraid.
hmmm.
discuss amongst yourselves.
and get back to me.

frankly, i blame my mother.
or julia's mother...

*just kidding*

saw my college friends on saturday
at a wedding
many commented on how good i looked
considering my car accident in march
and i thought, *egad*
by the grace of god i walked away from a car accident
and by the lack of grace and a dog,
i ended up with
staples in my head....
