Shopping the Blues Aisles

I've been working on a playlist the last two weeks, and though it's not complete, it's taking shape.

For my sons, two each of:

Twin Extra Long comforters

Twin Extra Long sheet sets & mattress pads

Jumbo extra fluffy pillows

Towel sets in coordinating colors

Trash cans

Shower totes

Laundry baskets

All Small & Mighty

Soft Scrub Scrubby Pads

Puffs Cool Designs for Back-to-School

Neosporin Neo To Go, including *free* first aid cases

Q-tips Perfect For On-The-Go

equate Ibuprofen tabs, 200 mg

Colgate Wave toothbrushes

And for me:

Beck's

Coffee, whole bean dark roast

Chocolate, with almonds and toffee

Amy's Organic frozen entrees, assorted

Dark sweet cherries with pits

Blue Bell Natural Vanilla Bean ice cream

Mother's 'The Original' Circus Animal Cookies

*Sob*

Warren Zevon (God rest his soul) singing "Keep Me in Your Heart" is stuck in my head.

But on the bright side, yesterday I bought bling in the form of earrings that are big peace symbols of a luminescent green, studded with rhinestones. Number 2 son is in Berkeley with big bro, enjoying cool breezes off the Pacific, and in possession of my camera, or else you would have to see these earrings to believe them. I've gone off the deep end. Number 3 son would agree.

And also yesterday I did some funny wordplay:

Let us roll all our strife and all

Our tartness up into one ball,

And tear our pasts with rough pleasures

Through the supple gates of heaven:

Thus, though we cannot make our paths

Stand still, yet we will make them baths.

I just about fell out of my chair laughing at my own cleverness. I laughed till I cried. And now I'm right as rain. Apologies to Andrew Marvell. Since he died in 1678, I don't think he'll mind.

Poor Poor Pitiful Me.

P.S. I forgot I have a camera phone, duh.
