Today's word.... "saddle"

Our day:

blurry-eyed, waking up

"what time is it"
"noon"

yikes!
scramble out of bed
go down the hall to the studio bathroom
realize no toothpaste *shrug*
put in contacts
splash some water on face

meander a few blocks to Cafe Henri
stop by a tile store
look for threshold, no luck
wonder why the streets are so empty
eat yummy ratatouille crepe
drink yummy cafe au lait

subway ride to manhattan

"bye honey"
"bye sweetie pie"
"meet at the fountain"

sean goes to shower at lily's office
lily goes to library to pick up train books for next week
meet at the fountain

"guess what time it is"
"2:00?"
"11:30"

*mental note: husband can't tell time*
explains why streets so empty at 9 in the morning

subway ride to brooklyn

buy asparagus paint (because guacamole is too gray)
*mental note: look into job as a paint namer*
look for threshold, no luck
look for door lock, cut finger on lock

subway ride back to manhattan

go to apartment
stare at many shades of white to decide on bathroom paint
look for the one paint chip that has disappeared
must have the missing paint chip before making decision

walk down to paint store #1, no missing paint chip
find many other potential substitutes
walk down to paint store #2, pick up missing paint chip
walk back to apartment
rain, rain, rain
walk into drug store to pick up an umbrella
rain, rain, rain
back at apartment
add sail cloth, china white, and edgecomb gray paint chips to collection
*mental note: really must look into job as a paint namer*

decide on edgecomb gray
call mom on appropriate finish for bathroom
walk down to paint store #1
buy paint

walk to home depot
look for threshold
employee #1 directed to aisle 16, no luck
look for threshold
directed to paint section, no luck
employee #2 said "saddle" and directed to tile section
wait for employee #3 to finish servicing another customer
look through many piles of carpet
ask employee #3 for "saddle"
must custom order
all colors ugly, no luck

*shoulders hung in shame, must tell contractor that failed homework*

walk walk walk
feet tired
rest at borders
drink coffee
flip through beach vacation magazines

walk back to apartment
rain, rain, rain

walk to restaurant
eat yummy food

walk to duane reade
look for dessert, no luck

subway to long island

walk to small convenience store
buy brownie & sneakers bar
