sister #4 went off to south dakota yesterday to visit amandahugnkiss. today, she’s off dogsitting for my brother-in-law Tony’s parents. she’s not returning home until Tuesday. i’m so giddy with all this glorious alone time that i hardly know what to do. you can, however, bet your sweet ass while i contemplate what the hell to do that i’m doing that contemplating in my underpants.

supergenius headquarters has been declared a mandatory pants-free zone. also we don’t talk too much unless we really, really have to. the silence is just beautiful.

i did pretty welll yesterday, keeping the tv off. but today i could not resist the allure of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. i know it’s emotionally manipulative bulllshit, but god do i love it. i don’t know if i’d be able to function on monday without my ritualistic sunday evening sob session.
