reporting another bad dream – no vampires this time, rather rabbinical school and blood. my brain is so strange.

i worked yesterday and it was unbearably slow. today will be the same. i spent much of my day trying to figure out what to get CURLY for her birthday. i’m flying into boston and taking care of some of the festivities (i’ll leave it at that) but it’s her 30th and clearly i want to mark it with something special. i’m pretty much drawing a blank though. if it’s not going to be madonna, live and in person…well then i’m not sure what direction to go. a tree in israel perhaps? (sorry that was purely for CURLY’s benefit…i know she reads the blog and that the idea would cause her, and others, to laugh out loud).

i’m obsessed with all things inauguration including how freaking cold it appears to be in DC. i’m lucky to be off tomorrow and plan to spend the day in my pajamas in front of my tv until i leave for book club (this time we’re reading either of OBAMA’S BOOKS). oh and i need to make my obama themed red velvet cake (don’t worry, i’ll post pictures) which means i should really send ABN out for the ingredients today (see, i do think ahead). and you know, as an added bonus HBO opened up the airwaves so that everyone had access to yesterday’s festivities…including the season premieres of BIG LOVE and FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS!!! obama as president rocks!

it’s 8:30 and ABN and i again have dreams of going to TWIN PEAKS (yes, we have had these big plans before) before i need to be at work. enjoy your day off (or day of service!) and think of me and my blisters.
