google im with la soeur

3:19 PM Moi: hi
there are (@*#&$ girl scout cookies all over the office today
soeur: ah. hello.
Moi: argh
soeur: oh shite.
Moi: sucks
soeur: lots of prayer
Moi: @(#*&$
soeur: i fell off the wagon and ate 7 cupcakes.
i'm not exaggerating.
Moi: how did you get a hold of seven?!
did you bake??
soeur: yellow cake with chocolate frosting
3:20 PM yes.
Moi: YUM
soeur: indeed.
Moi : i mean, fie on you
soeur: then felt sick
yes fie on me.
Moi: you now have something to blog about
isn't that great?
soeur: but, i'm writing off today as a "Mulligan"
Moi: AH
soeur: woo fuckin hoo
Moi: yes, i need to do a "great names for dogs" book
3:21 PM maybe instead of the children's book
soeur: ooh!! great great idea
Moi: more fun, i think
for me, anyhow
soeur: you can use your paintings!!!!
Moi: also i want a whole year to observe what happens in the vineyards myself - on my drive
i keep getting good ideas as I pass vineyards in carneros
soeur: they are inspiring in their beeeyoootee
3:22 PM Moi: that too
but mostly good for real detail
soeur: ah yes.
Moi : like what the truck looks like
what birds are there in march
soeur: gotcha -- these are important details.
Moi : saw a mallard coming in for a shaky landing on a flooded edge of a vineyard, very funny
soeur: how is that class going? did you go last night?
Moi: NO
it's too freakin far and late
but ah well
soeur: fie on you
Moi: ya
3:23 PM soeur: :-)
Moi: it's nice being a grownup and not worrying about grades
soeur: no shit.
just not good to waste $
Moi: i can do whatever i want on this book... or i don't have to
soeur: (speaking from experience)
Moi: i know
soeur: i LOVE the dog names book idea
Moi: but more important not to be toast at my new job every Tuesday
cool! you could be my co-author
soeur: boy i would love that.
3:24 PM Moi: i was thinking - a section for dogs belonging to golfers - include mulligan
dogs belonging to hunters
to artists
etc
soeur: i think just include details in the paintings that indicate something about the owner.
the painting of Mulligan would have a golf club in the background, etc...
3:25 PM the painting of Matisse would have an artist's easel in the background
3:26 PM etc etc
3:28 PM Moi: I LOVE IT
I LOVE IT some more
soeur: great!!!
we are on it.
Moi : woo hoo
dude!
what's the title?
dog names for geniuses?
3:29 PM soeur: hmmmm
let me noodle on that...
3:30 PM Moi: noodle away
3:31 PM soeur: calling Tauck today to request the upgrade...
fyi
Moi: oh yeah
great
although
do we lose our balcony???
3:32 PM soeur: hmmm.. . i will find out
Moi : ok
soeur : i didn't know we HAD a balcony
3:36 PM Moi: there's that level that has the walkway outside the window
and they get a door that opens to the walkway
so it's like a balcony
very cool and bigger windows and a more "i can escape" feeling :)
3:37 PM i was looking at the pix in the brochure
soeur: on phone now with agent
the cabin she has available is P59
3:39 PM go to Tauck web site
3:41 PM i LIKE the idea og being able to open a door to the outside.
3:44 PM Moi: ya!
why don't you ask them?
are you calling them right now?
soeur: ya!
3:45 PM Moi: and that level is all just rooms, so noone is walking around trying to find dining room or anything
soeur: ya!
i am psyched
Moi: yay
3:46 PM soeur: so, she's putting my credit card through now --
$170 per person for the upgrade
soeur: totally worth it
Moi: but a pop up blocker thing just dumped it all
soeur: what????
Moi: are you talking to tauck yet?
soeur: the new invoice from Tauck is coming to us instead of Mom
already done!!
Moi: perfect
what did they say about the door?!
3:51 PM soeur: she said the door is great -- nice to have open, and when they spot whales you can just step outside (instead of having to run down the hall to a public space to look over the edge of the ship)
Moi : so we have that now?
soeur: the only downside is privacy -- have to pull the shade when you get dressed, etc.
but that's no biggie
3:52 PM yes! we're in cabin P59 (Prosoeurnade Deck)
Moi : YAY!!!
i think i'll stay off sugar until then and then eat a whole lot of it and freak out on you and mom, dissolving into a little puddle of delirious laughter
3:53 PM soeur : PERFECT
3:56 PM Moi: gratzie
i want to be thin enough to wear this really cute snowboarder girl parka I have that's like a size 16
soeur: ooh! that's a really cool goal.
very concrete
Moi: it's a really cool jacket
ya
soeur: are you going to start exercising?
3:57 PM Moi: concrete like my willfulness
yes
soeur : i hear ya
Moi: it's called the "my dog and I are fat" program
