ok - waiting on my new couch to be delivered. We are really excited, but I have to admit that it's a little anti-climactic. We were supposed to get it almost 2 months ago.
I woke up and basically started my pre-fall cleaning. Let's just say that in the three months since we moved in, we have started quite the dust/fur collection under the old couch. That, and a few odd pairs of shoes.
Have spent the morning cleaning, dusting/sweeping, and re-arranging furniture. 'Vertigo' is on in the background, and now I am enjoying some oohlong tea getting my second wind and imagining how this place will look once I move the wee little table in the 'dining' room. Maybe photos later.

dreamworld
Ok lillie-bug - back to reality.
I embarked on a wonderful and amazing 12 day vacation to my mother's homeland.
Met familiar faces, time having long passed since our last meeting. Took many wonderful photos. Spent quality time with my mom, grandmother, cousin, aunts and other various relatives and family friends. Walk the cool damp/sunny streets immersed in a culture with only a very, very basic command of the language. Misused some phrases, mastered others - shook my head with an embarrassed and sheepish grin when understanding was lacking. Read, re-read and immersed myself in silly tween novels and up/down fuckery of chuck palahnuik. Boarded the plane to return home (tempted to smuggle the bee that was intent on travel, but decided against it at the last minute). Hours spent at airports, catching up on the last of my tween fantasy - came home to deluge in the desert and hit the ground running the next morning.
Back to the grind I have immersed myself in another series of books - these far more historical, gripping and fantastical - and also written for a grown adult - complete with small print and a commitment to grammer. love so passionate and burning it surpasses time and space, exists on a plane of reality unknown to most. *sigh*
