putzing..

I was excited by the Wonder Woman DVD. So excited that I surfed around Amazon.com to see what other DVDs are out. Did you know that Forever Knight’s first season was released? YES– LAST YEAR! Where have I been? At any rate, I immediately bought it. Then I found that the entire first season of The Dukes of Hazzard was also released as well as 4 seasons of The Highlander!!?!? If that wasn’t bad enough A-Team, Kung Fu and Starsky and Hutch are also out on DVD. Then I found that you can pre-order the second season of Le Femme Nikita which I just did and am considering pre-ordering Wonder Woman. I just have 5 words to say: AMAZON DOT COM IS EVIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It shouldn’t be this easy! I shouldn’t be having so much fun! EVIL EVIL EVIL!

It’s a wonderful day in the neighborhood

The weather was warm and the day close to perfect. Mom, Lisa, and I went garage sale-ing. I bought a few inconsequential things. Then we visited Barbara and George. Little Mieux hid under the sofa the entire time we were there. Once home, Mom made mushroom and onion omelets. George gave us a Friends and Family 10% off Home Depot coupon so after brunch, Lisa and I went to Home Depot. We bought a very nice bistro table for outside and a minature chiminea. The table was so easy to put together— no screws or tools required! As we were putting the table together, French accordion music started playing. It sounded like it was coming from our neighbor, Walt’s garage. At first I thought it was a record but then I realized that it was definitely someone playing it live. Lisa grabbed a bottle of wine and two wine glasses. We spent the rest of the afternoon sitting at our new bistro table, sipping wine and listening to our neighbor play the accordion. It was truly lovely.

And no, as much as I wanted to, I did not scream across the fence and ask Walt to play “Who Stole the Keeshka?
