it's not all galas
We are nearly done painting our dining room. It's been a job, I'll tell you, and I'm not as young a painter as I used to be. Who is?!
There's one last corner that needs to be dealt with.
K is downstairs making Posole. I'm a little disappointed as the market didn't have any radishes (wtf?) to put on the top of it, but I'll live.
We spend our weekends doing The Big Shop and running errands and it's beginning to get to us a bit. Fortunately, Summer Fridays will begin in a month or so and that will help. (My office closes at 1:00 on Fridays in the summer and K gets to choose four(?) Fridays to take off.) I could use a trip to the beach.
It's been raining all day. Youngest just dropped off a huge pile of laundry and I am having a beverage crisis. My supermarket no longer carries neither the Earl Grey Snapple (which YES, HAS SOME SUGAR AND I DON'T CARE FOR SUGAR IN MY TEA) nor my Ito En tea. I may dehydrate. But WAIT: this just in! Amazon has my tea! Free Super Saver Shipping and only $1.83 per bottle.
I'm a happier woman.
Allergies, though.
I attended a clothing swap at work and came away with a pair of H&M jeans (too big for me), a deep blue short-sleeved button shirt and a matching shrunken cardi. I brought a couple of tops and a skirt and only one of the tops was taken. I think, and I don't mean to brag, that people think I have terrific stuff and were disappointed to see that, in reality, I have regular stuff that I mash up in terrific ways. A Gap tee shirt and Old Navy skirt are pretty boring until you add a scarf and cool shoes.
Ho hum.
It's taken me the whole day to work through this one post! And, also, to be truthful, I wrote a post for BlogHer as I was given an assignment. I love assignments. They've really changed the way BlogHer looks now and I do like it. HeatherB just did a piece on what to wear to the airport and I wish I had read it the last time I went away. I've got the layering thing down - I always wear a cardi and a big pashmina to wrap myself in for a nap or to guard myself from bad smells (true!) but I almost always get the shoes wrong.
What else can I tell you? It was a heck of a week what with the boss not being in London and the painting and all. I'm still tired and tomorrow it starts all over again.

And that's my posole story. Enjoy yours!
I love that your office closes early on Fridays in summer. That, to me, says so much in terms of a good employer.
And my neck is still itching in sympathy for your up-turned house.
I've run out of plain flour and caster sugar in this house, which is basically like running out of salt and water. The shops are but four blocks away but do you think I can find the energy to go down there?
2. What a story Kmkat had about it
3. Kim, love, you of all people CANNOT be without flour and sugar.
Off you go!
And here in the South, hon, we keep a pitcher of tea in the fridge as soon as the temps are over 70F. (Right now it's decaf mint rooibos.)
I look forward to your beach adventures. Our shores suck.
