Eternally bored
I am officially, completely, perpetually bored.
I've spent the better part of the morning putting words into an online thesaurus to come up with better words.
So, yeah.
Today Aislin is going down to Lodi to hang out with her frien d Ashley (James' daughter). Funny that my four-year-old has out of town friends. Since James moved back down to Lodi the girls have only seen each other once (for Ashley's birthday).
I was supposed to go shopping with Temperance for "pioneer clothes" but she seems to have changed her mind about that without telling me. We are participating in the ELP at Sutter's Fort next month. We have to be there all day (and overnight) acting as pioneer women while the kids enjoy their overnight field trip. I get to teach the kid s how to make baskets. Oooh baskets. I've made two so far. The first one you are supposed to give away, so I gave it to AJ because he was kind enough to stand around waiting for me. We were supposed to go get food and drinks after this day long training. I ended up flaking on him because everything was taking so fucking long anyway. At least he got a basket out of it.
Oh yeah, I'm gonna be fucking SEXY. Or not.
Not a whole lot else going on. Tonight I'm taking Lhiannan to her friends birthday party - Lazer Tag at Country Club. I asked nicely if I could participate, too. Several kids who are unable to make it to the party have asked if I could shoot everyone for them. How could I turn that down? Ok, I guess I could have, but while this lazer tag thing doesn't really interest me at all and probably sends a bad message to the kids I'm going to do it anyway because I never have.
I just remembered my favorite word: Ennui. It seems appropriate. What does thesaurus.com have to say about that?
Mmmmm such a pretty word.

For the record, I thought the pioneer shopping was cancelled by you when you told me you were going to the laser tag birthday party with Lhiannan.
Why did you think that? I told you it wasn't until 5pm.
C'est la vie; I'm going to try and go tomorrow.
