Making time

"I assure you officer, I've only had a few ales"

Well, here it is... Friday.  It's ten after six in the morning, and I'm working evening shifts, so why am I up?  I'm up because last night at work I swapped shifts with a bloke who didn't want to get up at 5:30 this morning.  I'm inclined to agree with him.

Point being, my mom is coming back from an overnight stay out on the east end of the island with some friends of hers who have a condo out there, and I figured if I took the day shift today, we'd have this whole evening to spend time together.  If I can stay upright.

I'm hoping to take her to this fab new (to us) Indian restaurant that Bear and I discovered, and perhaps induct her into the Withnail Addicts Club.  Wine and sherry stand at the ready.

She has never seen "Withnail and I"... and if she's a brave soul, today will be the last time she'll be able to say that.  It occurred to me that she actually birthed me out into this world during the time period this movie depicts, and so she was around the same age as Withnail and his pal Marwood.  No, she wasn't living in England, but she might have a perspective on this movie that I wouldn't have, as I was too busy getting my diapers changed to notice.

Annnnnyway, it's time to be off to work.  Feels like I just left there.  Wait, I did.

For those of you who have lots of time on your hands, and a good computer monitor, you should check out Jigidi.... online jigsaw puzzles!  I'm in love with it at the moment.
