After all my bitching about estate sale-ing with my dad, he woke up this morning feeling like crap. My mom and brother left for Knoxville this morning so I decided to just drive home. Took me five fucking hours thanks to all of the construction. Sigh. But I made it home about 5 and I just called to check on my dad and he’s feeling better. Now it’s weird to be home, alone. I get used to being around my family, at least the noise of it all, and here the only noise is from the TV and me talking to the cats.

I downloaded the new album by my beloved Matthew Good, Hospital Music. I listened to the whole thing a while ago, as the streaming audio was on his site. The very first song contains the phrase “too cool for school.” Shit like that makes me want to call my ex-husband to tell him, as (a) we both love Matthew Good and (b) we both said “too cool for school.” Argh. Same thing when I read something about Barry Manilow a few weeks ago, as the motherfucker and I both like the Barry. Le sigh. Life goes on, though, whether I share lame-ass pop culture news with exes or not.

I am working on a crafty project for the upcoming Mini Scandalous Weekend … and I’m so psyched that I have to make four, ’cause Sodapop is coming to the midwest to join me, Laci and Lucy! Whooooooooooooooooooooo!
