The green on your face would have gone lovely with the boots LBR tried on, although you wouldn't have been wearing green on your face if you were with us! ;-)Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01482104257045322117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27133722.post-69992362545591382092008-05-04T18:36:00.000-07:002008-05-04T18:36:00.000-07:00Your eperience at "the" boots r us left me grinnin...Your eperience at "the" boots r us left me grinning silly, can't laugh out loud coz I'm at the office.

I love these boots too and still hope for the possibility that they could be on my feet again one day... and by that, I mean outside of the store and mine! :) <BR/><BR/>Run Around Paris... haha. I am finding myself using "the" a lot since returning from Austin. And I think that "the Walmart" is a common one! :)<BR/><BR/>Betty... I know. I'm so lucky I got to visit her. We had such an incredible time together. I hope your blogger meetup goes well tomorrow! Hopefully we'll hear about it? <BR/><BR/>I'm getting towards the end of The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle. I really do like it and there is so much going on symbolically and otherwise. I am sure my brain will have much to digest upon finishing! No, I've not read or even heard of Norwegian Wood. If you do read it, please let me know what you think! Haha... I can imagine exhausted moms have a tough time even getting through a book! I'm a single girl and have my struggles! :)Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01482104257045322117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27133722.post-56727655073106917402008-05-01T00:22:00.000-07:002008-05-01T00:22:00.000-07:00That is so cool that you went to Austin to see LBR...That is so cool that you went to Austin to see LBR. Normally I'm meeting up with a fellow expat blogger in Albi tomorrow -- I hope it all works out!<BR/><BR/>I read "The Wind-Up Bird..." this year. It left a strong impression on me but I had a little trouble getting through some of the parts that go off on sidetracks. I'm thinking of trying "Norwegian Wood" -- it sounds a little less dense. (Exhausted moms have trouble getting through heavy tomes..)

If you cook even one meal for us, I'll feed you all the cupcakes and Jack your heart desires! :)<BR/><BR/>Randal... Haha. Dante-esque, eh?! I like it. You know I love the dark stuff and all those delicious paradoxes! Our collective stomachs did survive, amazingly!<BR/><BR/>There really is something magical about being out at 2am in a groovy diner like that, while most of the "world" (appreciating that it is daytime somewhere) sleeps around us. Especially when the weather is pleasantly warm like it was. It is one of those memories I'll really savor.Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01482104257045322117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27133722.post-9229235024750070862008-04-23T10:55:00.000-07:002008-04-23T10:55:00.000-07:00Whiskey, overly sugared treats and Velveeta?

One realizes just how much of America is sleeping at 2am when one finds a pocket like Austin that's actually awake. ;-)Randal Graveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08728992897551848531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27133722.post-49988490602883015312008-04-22T20:54:00.000-07:002008-04-22T20:54:00.000-07:00Oh my God, that sounds like great fun.

Sometimes folks will use y'all for one person but that's not really the intention of the word. :) Good stuff! Oh yeah, my family does say "let's go to the walmart!" Too funny! I read LBR faithfully and have now added you too.

It feels like it was much longer than a week ago when you and I had our PTSD experiences on 6th street. I miss you much and can't thank you enough for y'all coming to Austin, little lady. <BR/><BR/>You were much too kind in your description of events at the boot store. I was the one who acted the fool at "the" boots r us. I feel sure they are still watching the video they took of me jumping like a fool over imaginary snakes. What decorum and composure?<BR/><BR/>And, yes, those boots must be yours. I would go back and check on them for you yet I am a fearin' the snake man. You must come back soon.<BR/>The queso waits for you, sweet darlin'!<BR/>Love y'all,<BR/>LBRLa Belette Rougehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686717070120116918noreply@blogger.com
