right turns, washing machines and giving trees......

i didn't sleep as per usual.  last night's wonderings: can i turn right on red in Massachusetts?  and what about Rhode Island?  ok then, what about Connecticut?  and New York??  and how will i even know without people honking their angry horns at me to just go already or getting hundreds of tickets from mean pornstached cops? 

and if i open the garage door and there's tons of snow out there, will it all pour in like an avalanche and bury my car?  and gasp, what if we don't even have a freaking garage?  i don't think i've ever seen a Cape with an attached garage, which is kind of essential.... as is the Cape. oh gawd, toooooo much stress. 

also we once stayed in a dumb cabin in the snow and the washing machine wasn't "winterized" (whatever that means) and no-one could do laundry in winter (which was just awesome, since Danny barfed everywhere and we had to wash everything in the bath tub)  surely washing machines work in winter without some special "winterization".....?   is this why everyone moves to California where they don't even have Capes......?

then i had an awful nightmare about block parties.  the kind of nightmare that i itch the crap out of my neck after because it's soooo vivid and horrible!  our street has a block party every year and it's just awful - we have to fake being on vacation to avoid it, it's a republican thing you see.  one (stupid) woman who came to look at our house commented on how our street is too eerily quiet and there are no children riding scooters down the middle of the street - like that's a bad thing???!  we have that awful block party, lady!!!!  with an entire parade of superwhite obnoxious kids called things like Bratt and Trick riding their lame patriotic scooters down the middle of the street.  and it's awful - just awful!!  that lady would love it, i bet!!!

in other news i have blisters on my fingers (how i hate quoting the dumbest Beatle but actually if i was quoting him, i would say 'i got blisters on my fingers') from carrying a water bottle on my walks.  so i'm off to Target to look for some kind of canteen that straps across my torso, which i am sure will just put blisters in other places instead.  what's up with all the blisters?!!! (must not google.  must NOT google!!!  i do not have an auto immune deficiency... i take gummivites everyday which surely make everything ok)

in other other news i am mildy obsessed/slightly in love with Kate Middleton (she's beeautiful and always wears the prettiest clothes and she's my walking mantra - kate.mid.dle.ton kate.mid.dle.ton) and whether someone sooooo rail thin can even get pregnant?  i hope so because those babies are going to be absolutely gorgeous :)

 

off to walk and listen to some calming Simon and Garfunkel.  and be happy ("but not really" to quote Danny who always quotes the Giving Tree because he hates, with a passion, that mean little boy who claims to love the tree - but not really :)
