karen's birthday! happy birthday, karen.

if you had asked me 20 yrs ago who was the biggest nut in our family, i would have said karen. if you asked me now i'd say karen is the most well-adjusted. interesting.

mark is having surgery today. hope it goes well.

breakfast

coffee
banana
apple fritter
iced tea

had to get gas today. up almost 20 cents since the last time i got gas. what fun!

snack

slice of pizza left over from yesterday
iced tea

pizza was worse today than yesterday. made me feel quite quesy. actually did get sick in the early afternoon. felt much better afterwards.

had to go to the dmv and the pet store in the afternoon. dmv was very busy. i was lucky and got through fast.

lunch

chicken sandwich
coke

at chik-fil-a. the coke really helped. stomach felt much better after a cold carbonated beverage.

they always look at you like you are a nut if you don't get fries.

weather was unbelievable today. sunny. high must have hit 75. in fact, when i got back from the pet store i felt very lousy. must have been a combo of the stomach problems, the higher than usual temp and wrestling with the boxes of kitty litter. stretched out on the couch and watched hoop for about an hour. felt better.

i called mommy. she said she talked to ben and he had seen mark at 4:30 after the surgery. he said it went well and mark would be going home tomorrow.

dinner

lasagna (frozen)
steamed snow peas
iced tea

dessert

half an orange

we watched four weddings and a funeral after dinner. just in the mood, i guess. we watched from beginning to end for the first time in a long time. i usually see four weddings in bits and pieces. we went to san francisco in 1994 and i remember seeing four weddings on the marquee of several movie theaters. that was june. it was released in mar. i think we first saw it on cable. or maybe elizabeth saw it on a plane. don't remember.
