another day another mission

did not get all of yesterday's missions accomplished, but i still feel fairly good about life. of the things i didn't get done yesterday, i have already folded sylvia's clothing.
new list
1) fold laundry (adult).
2) harass baby diaper service for slack deliveryman.
3) dishes
4) oil change (at saturn - woot, they usually have cookies)

i'm contemplating an unmother's day poem for some friends who have adopted out, miscarried or simply cannot have kids. i think i have some strange variant of survivors syndrome.

now blooming: bearded iris
blooming any day now: fritillaria
yet to be planted: cannas, caladiums, anemones

poetry meetup

*taps mike* anyone out there in raleigh? anyone out there in general? i would like to someday make it to . it may take a while before i make it out with sylvia, or can leave her at home for that long, but this is the kind of thing i have been looking for. assuming there is enough of a local crowd. otherwise *shrug* i'll keep mumbling to myself till i get it right.

power of tv

it's amaazing. before i left to get the oil change, i had all these great plans for poems to work on, things i could get done on my palm etc. now I'm at the saturn dealership and have spent the last 10 min watching tv with not a thought in my head. this is something i will definitely need to work on. one thing that may help is we are considering cutting down our cable to save money. i wish i could cut the lower channels instead of the higher ones, but that's how it is. i'll be left with news, pbs and the very rare glimmer of quality programming on the network channels. maybe i'll be lucky and they'll rerun some interesting movies. i will definitely miss TCM.
