my scramblings & ramblings
Every once in a while, the horoscopes are dead on:
Dear Ronica,
Here is your horoscope
for Sunday, August 19:You’re a little cranky, but that’s just a sign that you need to slow down and process all the big emotional business that has been happening in your life lately. Try to find some quiet time to zone out.

Rosa (meimeigui) nudged me, and people have been calling/emailing whatnot, so I guess I should update.
It’s just that I’ve been busy and/or very tired. It’s gonna be a stretch for me to get this entry out because I’d rather be sleeping. Dinner first, though, once I post this entry.
The craziness started last weekend. Not the one that just past, the one before that. The first weekend in August. Saturday, I cleaned like a fiend. Sunday, My old college roommate Sheryl was in town, so we had brunch. I got to nap a bit after she left, then my friend Angelo and I went out for Mexican. We had the best conversation ever, and the best Mexican food ever, which I am now craving like some kind of fiend. But I’m gonna wait until this weekend, after payday and after I’ve eaten all the leftovers in my fridge.
Monday afternoon, another old college friend Dave (who just happens to be an ex-boyfriend) called, as he was in town from Los Angeles. I got to hang out with him and meet his doll of a wife, Angie. Let me tell you what a crazy evening that was. My ex-boyfriend with his wife, my ex-husband, my son, and me, all hanging out. It was loads of fun. We walked around the Ohio State campus, took the ubiquitous trips down memory lane, had dinner at b-dubs, and took loads of pix.

I feel popular!
Tomorrow, I’m supposed to be having brunch with an old college roommate. And meeting up with my ex-boyfriend and his wife. Oh, and hitting the Fair with Angelo for a few hours. Monday, hitting the Fair again with Chris, Aidan, and Craig. Late Monday, Adam comes into town and I’ll be with him the next three days (not long enough!!). Thursday evening, I’m going to see Harry Potter (again) with a co-worker. Busy busy busy!
I have to take lots and lots of pictures.
