yes, i think this background is working AND thursday 13: week 16

whatever the hell i feel like edition, namely

celeste is

1) celeste is leaving for seattle/port townsend in six days and is totally unprepared for the trip. we are flying. it's for our family reunion. ready for a break. deargodletitbesunny. yeahright. it'sneverfuckingsunnyinseattle.

2) celeste is letting her children eat potato chips and (bad) chocolate for lunch today and doesn't. even. care.

3) celeste is (still) in love it's been almost four years. wtf, man? where does time go? also, danny is going to school again, to be a firefighter/sar/paramedic/orsomething. he's already a successful contractor. but ya know, he's a huge underachiever.

4) celeste is very tempted to go public with the blog again. is there a way to BLOCK specific emails/ip addys?

5) celeste is really in quite in love with this song...and the random video too.

6) celeste is on her way out the door to the kitchen and will continue from there

7) celeste is apparently forgetful. hullo? it's sunday and here i am finishing this...

8) celeste is totally impressed with this download: TuneUp. if you are an itunes user, this is for you!

9) celeste is walking three days a week with mara and colleen and gonna get in shape (and make colleen cry while i'm at it). have i mentioned how important it is to have mom friends when you're a parent? WHY DIDN'T I LISTEN SEVEN YEARS AGO? this is seriously my sanity.

10) celeste is SO OVER summer. please, it is bad for mama's mental health to listen to fighting all day. also, chocolate business + summer heat in california = WAY TOO HARD.

11) celeste is so sure (tonight) that she doesn't want more babies. yes, i get a little achy around the ovaries every once in a while but all in all this freedom + awesome kid-ages thing makes me want to keep. moving. forward. have i mentioned that i love 7.5 year olds?

12) celeste is terrifically fascinated with the raising of honey bees and very lucky to have a regular at my farmers' market who brings me fresh honey ON THE FRAMES for our s&b honey caramels. :D

13) celeste is gonna go watch tv with dandan now that the kids have stopped their squealing.
