Walk Like A Zomby

Ok ... that is it ... i am never doing laundry again ... ... lol ... ok maybe not that extreme, but seriously! It has got to be a crime to have someone with a leg as good as broken running up and down four flights of stairs just to do laundry, and I had to do it four times! I am pretty much collapsed on my bed now and my legs haven't moved--I'm afraid to try them lol. O sweet love of my life, come carry me away from this place ... hmm, lol perhaps I'll have to kiss more frogs for that :0) Speaking of which, I learned some years ago that the princess never actually kissed the frog in the original story. Actually she was quite mean to the poor little frog, but he still became a prince. Interesting, no?
In other news, I went out to Bertuchi's--and yes I had to look up the spelling for that one--with one of my profs and her family. they were celebrating My friend Running Slippers's birthday and he invited me along. He was technically in my class, but I am graduating a bit later than everyone else from that year. It actually took us a while to get there because we stopped at an art show first, but we got there eventually and now I have more variety in my fridge tee hee. After we got back we played MASH with my prof's twin girls and had cake and just generally had fun. I love hanging out with my profs' families because it is nice to see them in a more natural context. The girls tell me I am funny because I can make silly animal noises, and they are picking up a few from me ... o dear. This is always the trouble with letting me hang out with kids lol.
I am very glad I had something to do tonight because now maybe I'll fall asleep and stay that way for more than two hours. we'll see.
hmm, my legs are still sore and I still have to go and take my clothes out of the drier. I can do this, I will walk back down and up those stairs even if it kills me! ... I really hope it doesn't kill me. there are so many things I want to be able to do first.
ah well, if I am not heard from before the end of tomorrow, send someone out to find me hahahaha lol.
hope your night is less painful, less full of mosquitoes and twice as much fun as mine was. toodles!

frogs

It really is too bad that most fairytales portray frogs as being slimy disreputable creatures. If you think about it, the frog prince doesn't really teach children to like frogs. Be nice to frogs in case one is a prince maybe, but the princess in the original story was quite mean to the poor little frog. Frogs are quite beautiful actually, and there's so many different kinds with such interesting names. there's one called a growling frog. who ever thought frogs could growl. unfortunately most of the pritty one's are poisonous, and all frogs are slimy. maybe there's some hint there, but for my part, i rather like frogs.

"But of course you'll eat me," said the ladybug.

"Not at all," mumbled the frog.
"Come again?" The ladybug took a tentative step forward.
The frog yawned.

"You know, you're quite beautiful in this light."

The ladybug blushed.

"Do you really think so?" But the ladybug would never know, and the frog certainly wasn't talking.

tee hee
