I’ve spent a whole week a-taking of my dolce far niente. Be proud of me—I accomplished nothing at all beyond practicing doing what I felt like. I lived on ice cream for two days, and watched all of Freaks & Geeks and Blue Planet. Came down to Kelby & Lonan’s in Scottsville last night following Nessa and Rona’s smash hit at the Lovettsville Elementary talent show (with two friends, they dressed as the cutest pirates you’ve ever seen and sang Bully in the Alley).
Dinner tonight includes 3 pies (the new piecrust technique coming in handy again), and mashed potatoes with extra skin ’cause we made ’em from the cored-out casings of spud gun ammo. Most people (3 kids, 10 adults, 3 dogs) are currently engaged in an all-out humans vs. zombies battle. Nessa just yelled “Mom, Mom! I need the chainsaw!!” Alas, Tara has bitten me on the ankle, so I oughta go get some cherry pie before all I want to eat is brains…
