Nothing happened today. I have to post something without the crutch of actually having an event to write about.
How about this? I am super excited about our day in Annapolis this weekend. Hmm. That doesn’t sound like me. I mean, yes, I’m excited, but I don’t usually say I’m “super excited” about anything. 🙂 “I’m very much looking forward to it” sounds stilted. But the sentiment is the same. I get to hang out with Jess and Chuck for a few hours, go on a tour of the Naval Academy, see Annapolis all decked out for Christmas, and have yummy fish and chips. Oh, and I get to see this mysterious bookstore with a dragon in it. What could be better?
I’m hoping to have all holiday shopping (what little we’re doing) done by then. John and I will probably try to go to the mall Thursday after work. We only have a couple of things left to get. I ordered as many things as possible online so I could avoid going to the mall. I don’t mind the crowds, but parking is a pain. And it drives John crazy. 🙂 He hates circling for a parking spot.
Well. Mom just called. Mindy is in the ER for an emergency appendectomy. I started to get upset, but this is not a life-threatening surgical procedure. She’s been there for a few hours already this evening (for tests), so at least she was in the right place when the doctors determined this was necessary. Mom says the doctors promised Mark they’d be able to tell him something in less than an hour. I’m not sure what that means, exactly. Does it mean they’ll be done that quickly? Or that they’ll know about how long it will take by then? Or that they’ll know how long she’ll have to be in the hospital recovering? I have no idea. But when Mark calls Mom, Mom will call me. So I will try not to worry.
In other news, if you haven’t seen Keeping the Faith (and you like romantic comedies), you should see it. It’s actually funny, which is something you can’t say about many romantic comedies. Ed Norton, Ben Stiller, Jenna Elfman. Good movie. That’s one I always watch if it’s on TV (I just caught the end), and I never feel sullied (to steal Chuck’s term) afterward. It’s just a good movie.
Yeah, I can’t keep babbling about random things right now. Mindy in the hospital, Mindy in surgery trumps everything else I can think of. So I’m going to post this and fret offline.
[On a side note, the spell-checker suggest Elvina as a replacement for Elfman. How is that more of a word than Elfman?]
