Hanging with Lea
Let’s see. We’ve seen The Dark Knight (Christian Bale is luscious, and apparently has a cult following; who knew?), and also Hellboy 2: The Golden Army, in which Prince Nuada was the luscious one. OMG, the gay boys in here are in the throes of unrequited passion.
What else have we done? We ate at the Spicy Pickle, which is a good sandwich place, and then I cooked tortellini with pasta sauce one night. I actually cooked breakfast today, too - scrambled eggs with cheese and bacon and bagels with cream cheese. Last night we had pizza from a place called Spice Town; chicken tandoori pizza which was very nummy. Today has been all leftovers, of which there are a great number.
We watched Sweeney Todd at home yesterday since Lea et al hadn’t seen it yet. It made Li pine for Lynn.
We made the kids a cake, as usual. Tomorrow we’ll make breakfast, and go have pedicures, and then get ice cream from the Hershey shop that’s next door, and take a nap, and then bring Lea to the airport for 3pm. Yes, we’ve had naps every day so far. It’s wonderful. 
Tentative plans have been made to visit Boston the weekend of September 19th, assuming that Birch Household will be available for us to drive down to Connecticut and visit. Also assuming that ticket prices stay around the $200 range.
The kitties have been all over Lea. They adore her.
The grocery store had no Diet Pepsi in the 24oz bottles and I was mad. We had to get Diet Dr. Pepper instead. My life is so hard.
Oh and we went to the dump! But that was fairly uneventful. After the dump we stopped by the model homes for this incredibly expensive area called Red Cedars at the Hamlets or the Hamlets at the Red Cedars, or something like that. We walked through two model homes and were suitably impressed. Four to five bedrooms, massive kitchens, bathtubs to DIE for, libraries and studies and sitting rooms and multiple living rooms and dining rooms and Jesus, it was a little overwhelming. Beautiful, but far far away from any place that I would actually want to live. My little condo is much cosier!
That’s all for now. I hope everyone is doing well.
