clairvoyance and time travel
Last night, YaYa crawled into bed beside me. My computer was busy downloading The Time Traveler’s Wife as I tidied up a few entries. YaYa asked me to read my post from March 21st, 2007. There are two: one before death, and one after. After I finished, he asked me to read the post from March 21st, 2008. And then…he asked me to describe the final minutes of his dad’s life.
As you might imagine, there was a bit of discussion that followed. Time and tears got the best of us and I did not watch the movie last night.
I began watching the movie today. Yes, on this gorgeous day, I watched segments of the movie between breakfast and church, shopping and laundry.

We talked love making and wedding dresses.
We laughed and we cried. And we made plans to do it all again real soon.
Smokin’ Hot
You may remember that our house alarm likes to notify the entire neighborhood anytime my house fills with smoke. It also notifies the alarm company who in turn calls me to inquire on the status of my house.
So tonight, while cooking dinner, Bill from my alarm company called to see what was going on in my neck of the woods. I’m not sure why, but he wasn’t all that keen on accepting my invite for dinner. I honestly don’t know why he wasn’t interested; I told him it was smokin’ hot.
