| | I am sitting in Ruth's house staring at her old computer and feeling
the warm air from their old heater blowing against me. I am also
wearing her wool socks...which I've been wearing since last
night. Thankfully her house in not as cold as the Kreuze's.
I nearly died two nights ago from the cold.
Ruth, say something.
"At the moment I feel quite satiated. As in very full. Alyssa and I had
a great time at the restaurant I work at--we both enjoyed our margarita
("pomegranate" margaritas) and its ensuing "buzz." Alyssa, in fact, had
a little trouble walking in a straight line to the bathroom (which I
might add was only about 20 feet from our booth :). I started worrying
about her when she'd been gone for 8 minutes, so I gave her 4 more
before I was going to go in there after her. But I was thankful to see
her emerge alive and ready for dessert! ;) We topped off our meal with
eggnog icecream redolent with rum and heavy cream....great choice,
don't you think? :) And we made it home, too. I know, our liquor
tolerance level is rather pitiful (at least to more experienced
drinkers), but for those of us accustomed to contract..."
So that was some gracious commentation from my awesome friend,
Ruth. I love her. She works at Rosa Mexicano in Atlantic
Station. We took pictures of ourselves fully recuperated and
silly in front of the Christmas tree outside.
I fully recommend such festive behavior.
When we got home I curled up with four Felker girls on a day bed and
watched Nanny Diaries. Which reminds me that this morning I held
Ruth's six week old darling sweet niece in my arms and realized that it
is true that I want to be a mother some day. I was told that I
looked like a natural. Well...it's not like I haven't ever been a
nanny or spent half my working hours caring children. Tomorrow,
Ruth must babysit and then go to work. I will be happy
preoccupied with helping her mother get some chores done. I'm
looking forward to it, because one of the things I might be doing is
learn how to sew a hem, which will make me a more domestic and virtuous
woman.
Last night I ran into Victoria Horne at Christ Church where Ruth is
also now attending worship. It was such a blessing to run into
her. I sat next to her while we enjoyed the Christmas program
which was absolutely beautiful. There are many talented people at
that church.
Christmas break and Christmas is already looking to be so much happier for me this year.
