rain, rain....

ok, so.....i left work early because of my late training last night.....and given the rain, i opted for a cozy friday afternoon nap before venturing back out to shop and to pick up child #3. great plan, as i woke up with plenty of time to run by the library for the book i had reserved, peruse 2 grocery stores and buy my lottery ticket, with a repeat broadcast of R.E.M. from south by southwest on npr....so glad they waited to play man in the moon until i got back in the car.... I had forgotten about the reality of shopping whilst hungry.....ooops......no junk but plenty of wholesome foods that spilled over into the downstairs fridge and freezer....we are a vegetarian's paradise at this point....but then....all of my children will be home for the weekend...and i am so very grateful for the opportunity to prepare foods i think they will like....all the while i am listening to south by southwest music from a blog i like.....at this moment i am linked to the myspace site of dragonette, a toronto group that remind me of early madonna.....but then....don't so many groups want to be her madge-ness?.....next comes katy perry, and then more chester french....and eric hutchinson......so many bands so little time...even for someone not less than 16 hours from austin......the rain has abated, to be replaced by flurries tomorrow.....no matter....
