Today is one of my "How Can You Be In Two Places At Once When You're Not Anywhere At All" days. Board meeting at school this morning, followed by haircut and emissions inspection for the car. In between, I also have to hit the cleaners, the hardware store and the wine store. Then it's home to try and get the peonies staked before it starts raining. Then, an afternoon starting in on painting the basement.

So much for the bon-bons and fuzzy pink slippers.

Yip! at you later.

UPDATE: Remarkably, got everything done this morning. The usual alarums and excursions re school, my hair-cutter as ditzy as ever and a garage guy who was a dead ringer for Tom Petty. "Dude, let's do 'er," he said.

As for the peonies, I left it rather late to stake them this year and was only going to use some bamboo sticks and string. But in the end I broke down and bought those circular wire meshes that stand up on tripods. Threading the stalks, buds and leaves through them was a pain, but probably worth it. So I don't want to hear any whining about how, oooh, my blooms are too heavy and are snapping my stems, waaahhh!! this year.

Now I'm off to paint.

Huge Llama bonus points for catching the Firesign Theatre reference, LDH! You're almost as clever as Nick Danger, Third Eye.
