All by myself...
This is a surprise. At around 10:30 p.m. last night M got a call from his mom. She needed him to drive to WV today to pick up apples for her Homemaker's group. They make apple dumplings for the fair, which is coming up next week. It's about a five hour round trip. Plus, she wants to stop at the Walmart that is along the way.

I find myself completely and unexpectedly alone today. Those of you out there who are mommies know that even the prospect of such an alignment of the planets can send a thrill shooting through your spine. So I picture myself finishing Stephenie Meyer's Breaking Dawn, maybe watching Juno, and possibly, just possibly, firing up a mudslide as a last hurrah before I resume Weight Watchers tomorrow.

Don't feel too sorry for me.
