while mike is away....

last night i had 10 girls in the house giggling, eating chocolate, and watching Roman Holiday... does it get any better? mike called in the middle of it all &, after assessing the situation, insisted the house undergo a "cleansing" upon his return... i know he was secretly happy for me... after all he left for 3 weeks.

ANN: I hate this nightgown. I hate all my nightgowns, and I hate all my underwear too.
COUNTESS: My dear, you have lovely things.
ANN: But I'm not two hundred years old. Why can't I sleep in pajamas?
COUNTESS: Pajamas!?
ANN: Just the top part. Did you know that there are people who sleep with absolutely nothing on at all?
COUNTESS: I rejoice to say that I did not.

watch out for these girls

you may remember from a previous entry that -- much to caryn's excitement -- we bought a vespa from a local art student some time ago. actually, it wasn't very exciting at first, as she couldn't quite get the clutch thing down... riding along was fine, but stopping & starting was a big problem. mike thought there might be some mechanical issues, & after some fine-tuning on this fine machine, she's been having a great time! the scooter is perfect for getting around a town with narrow streets & limited parking. a thai friend who owns a local coffee shop says it suits her.
