I went to oregon to watch my sister get married. on the way there, during a connection in houston, a flight attendant flapped about sarah palin, how she had real fire in her belly. this same woman was taking her border collie along on the flight. while closing the overhead bins, she invited the other attendants to come to a dog show the following weekend because for the first time, she was finally showing the animal, and would not have a handler do the Running Alongside with Leash Bit. once the bags were tossed into the plane, a flight attendant in the front (we were in the back) said "pam, you'll be happy to know your dog was loaded safely," over the intercom. I hate texas?

britt looked so happy throughout it all. it was crazyhotwildfun to see/meet/participate with everyone. I didn't botch the reading, had on the contrary only the slightest touch of shake in my clenched fist. I couldn't knock that stuff out! so inappropriate and not at all related but I kept thinking of how one time (this might've been mentioned on "dateline") michael j. fox and tracy pollan pulled up in their limo to the emmy's and michael j. wasn't controlled quite yet so he made his driver loop the blocks for a few. I think my voice was strong. I do not think that really matters.

it was nice to see the friends of the parents at this wedding. they all asked how long have I had short hair and it's amazing that I have short hair. I told my mom she should stop all that end of the year christmas card angst, since her far-flung friends of yesteryear are obviously ignoring any and every inserted photo. but thanks, lovely ladies. I also think it's adorable how the little gals move from bikes and braids to law-abiding monogamy. can you imagine? next they'll make children or something. and I'll be that creepy old aunt with the cat and the soft hands. this world is too much sometimes. they're in egypt right now. haven't heard word one so I hope they haven't been kidnapped and sold. if I find out traders have snatched them I'm going to pitch a brassy fit. egypt, what a country. my only thoughts on egypt concern elizabeth taylor and richard burton, and even those are limited. lots of dollars, lots of kohl.

questions were admittedly fielded. are you next? you're next. oh look, they're serving food. also: it rained. I wore tights. and boots and a jacket and a smile. god, I miss portland.
