canadian diamonds, who knew

apparently canada has a fab diamond trade with ecologically and socially friendly processing. oooh. so uhh, for those of you who buy diamonds...err buy canadian. so we had an interesting evening, annie and i. we went to walmart where annie got some ideas for her project and i got a garlic press. and a movie, and a yoga dvd, and on sale cheez-its, and some v-8 splash berry blend. and then we came home. and mrs. whatsit is now big enough for her ball and seems to really like it. she even learned how to stop before she hits things. it's so funny. she sort of stops and reverses and her but goes over her head. it makes me a little nervous, but if she didn't like it she'd sit all sullen and not roll, right? it was good fun. and then the police came. but i think stone face should tell that story. if she's not too busy she might tell us all about it today.
before the police came, annie suggested that i'm hard to buy gifts for, so this is mainly for her: what do amy's like? they like new cds like pj harvey or liz phair or a simon and garfunkel retrospective. they like harry potter or stephanie plum books. they'd like jane austen's emma the bbc version without the commercials and fuzz from watching it a thousand times. they always like candy, flowers, or furry things. we're very easy to please. really.
ooh, does everyone know that it's coyote mating season? it is the season of love after all. this accounts for the ungodly howling all evening. damn coyotes. they're scary.
