Nancy Drew Blondies and Roof-Top restaurants

Just got off the phone with my broker (aka PJ) he’s following the stock market like a cat on a mouse.

Anyway, my knee is damaged (the ligament behind my right knee) so I didn’t go to the gym and will walk with Pip in the stroller in and out of Magic. Plus do my ab routine. Tomorrow I plan to run on it. 

Bought incredible sheets for the girls bunk bed–Tommy H’s for $13–only to discover they’ve decided to give the bunk bed to Pip. Tabs wants the new antique bed (she likes the idea of being up high). Now we have to buy a box spring for Mist’s bed (she decided to move back downstairs if I also raise her mattress to its highest position ever–to avoid any mice, so she thinks). So now I must buy two sets of double sheets for the antique beds. They are all on for incredible prices at Home Sense. That fills you in on my bed switcharoo amongst the girls.

Have found the house of my delight–an antique house plan circa 1908. I love old house plans. This one has four bedrooms up, three floors and a big reception hall and library on main–things I adore. Well now, how to build…my plan is to purchase the land (about 5 + acres) as soon as the real estate market hits bottom (1-2 years). Then ,wait until it raises up again, sell our Magic home and build my antique designed home on the acreage.

I was so sleepy last night–a good sleepy–sitting in front of the fireplace and watching a Gilligan’s Island episode (Maryanne thinks she’s Ginger and they sing the “Poo-Poo-Pee-Do” song) relaxed me into beddy-bye land at about 6pm. I hadn’t even made supper and all I wanted to do was get into my jammies and tuck myself in bed for the night.

 But just before I could pass out, Mist and Pip called me to come up stairs and dine at their Roof -Top restaurant (the top bunk). I had a lovely meal although they were all out of pasta and served me pretend food. My dinner date stood me up (Daniel Craig) so I called him on the pretend phone they offered me at the restaurant to ball him out! No after theatre for him! 

So, the fabulous ambiance at the Roof-Top restaurant made me crave pasta. Decided to call Peter, to pick up fresh pasta and a baget on the way home, after he picked up Tabs from ballet. So Mist, Pip and I made our famous “Nancy Drew Blondies” and waited for Peter and tabs to arrive home with the dinner groceries. We had a satisfying, carb-rich supper and dessert.

…I can sure nattter on this morning…Must go now though, and take Pipper for our walk, then do some more sheet shopping and then work on my paper/project (T talked some sense into me and I have decided to leave my thesis for later and focus on my original study to wrap it up in a fashionable manner).
