Time in a Bottle

I have this watch.

It is so large that Nonna asked me, "how long have you been wearing that clock on your arm?" I still have no sense of time. No internal clock whatsoever.

My visit with The Captain's Wife is already over. It was so much fun. We shopped and ate at The Cheesecake Factory (Melting Pot didn't open 'til 4:30) so we just substituted one chain restaurant gimmick for another.

The thing about my time with The Captain's Wife is that it is never as long as I think it is going to be. I bought these adult beverages to enjoy
and I bought these trashtastic magazines
thinking that we would have time for all that-in between all the taking care of our kids and shopping and laughing and eating and chasing kids some more. We also planned to buy an excercise ball (and she was going to teach me core conditioning moves) and start her blog. But before we knew it, the time had come for her to leave. I am saddish that the fun is over, and since today seemed like Saturday, I am really afraid that I will accidentally skip work tomorrow and show up at church.

Dear Miss Mom...

It sounds like the Captains Wife is a fab friend indeed if we can enjoy adult beverages while catching up on current events at the same time. It appears you made sound reading selections full of factually-based photos and other stuff. We *so* love the pics of people in party frocks! Our all-time fave is the "Celebs with Cellulite!" That is the best in our opinion.

But you didn't tell us if anyone had pictures of The Babies. You know, THE BABIES!

Thanks for sharing... even the melancholy that seems to accompany these things so frequently.

How come a day at work can last forever, but a night at home with a friend ends in a blink of an eye?!?!?

At least it was fun while it lasted!

You still wear a watch? I suck at watches and just use my cell phone now. Used to be that as soon as the battery died on the watch, I would never replace it and just get a new one. That gets expensive! I think I have about 7 dead watches in my jewelry box now.
