The Smiths, Coney Island and Olive Garden

drinking
diet coke with five chunks of ice at 11am.  soda before noon is kind of wrong in my book of utterly pointless made-up rules (but tastes so completely right on such a day as this...)

listening
to "how soon is now?" by the Smiths.  i've always wondered if it's the sun and the air or the son and the heir.  but not that curious that i look it up - it just makes it a little bit more wonder-ful to not check and wonder each time i hear it ;)

feeling
slightly homesick.  maybe it's a Manchester thing...?  they just sound and feel so much like home, i can almost smell the diesel fumes and fresh rain and cigarette smoke

wanting
to go to New York this weekend to Coney Island to ride their ferris wheel (last weekend was just too beachy and warm to go anywhere but the beach)...  but we are kidless (for an entire weeeeeeek!!!!) and the thought of doing anything but lying in bed watching endless reruns of Law and Order, eating pizza sounds just like too much work ;)

wondering
how on earth Nora Ephron died and i never even knew.... she died the day i went to Graceland last Summer (sighhhh makes me sad, i kinda loved her writing style)

wearing
Sam's hand-me-down Black Dog teeshirt.  i've never had one and i kinda love it and refuse to wash it...  it just feels so much like pyjamas, soft and cool and cozy and huggy

taking
Sam on a mother-son date to Olive Garden tonight - we are only people in the family who can stand to eat there :)  and that never ending pasta bowl thingie is sooooooo good - the four cheese marinara with angel hair is the best choice... you can easily eat a never-ever ending bowl of that and totally make the wait staff want to cry ;)

thanking
amazon for delivering whatever new video game came out today this morning and keeping both boys engrossed for the rest of the day ;)

 pretty sparkly Manhattan
 they've never met a dog they didn't love
 
 sometimes we go for icecream without the kids (shhhhhhhhhhhh!!!)

Cape Cod by Edward Hopper (beautiful)
 no clue what this is (Siri was no help as usual :)
 they are eight :)

 his latest job: mail picker-upper (also trash taker-outer and countertop polisher - 25c a chore)
