Here comes the sun...

I got off work at 2 yesterday because I put in a few nine-hour days at the beginning of the week. I went plant-crazy and home-depot, lost about an hour there, and then lost the car in the parkinglot. Even this evidence that I'm turning into my mother couldn't dent my enthusiasm for the wonderful day (neither did the nagging worry that if this is what early April is like, what about august...).

Em and Lauril and I sat in my backyard and had chips and sushi and beer. I sporadically planted things. Walked around capitol lake, got ice cream at traditions, went to a gallery opening, came back and watched Footloose.

I need more afternoons like that!

I did remark while watching the movie that all those repressed Footloose kids were out being "Sexually Irresponsible", and the three of us, raised in liberal, open-minded households, were at home on Friday night watching a movie with girlfriends. See, concerned parents? Repression doesn't work! Teach your girls to be open-minded and well informed, and they won't have dates either!
