DISCLAIMER FOR THIS POST - I have had 2.5 drinks tonight, without eating, and have been laying off the sauce because it increases feeling of sadness, so I feel a bit drunk. Also, my phone just rang (it is 9:52 pm) and I got excited. However, it was my mother calling to tell me that her hairdresser was just on the Real Housewives of NJ. I actually got my hopes up that it was a booty call.
And today a client was making outrageous demands on a closed matter (so I can't bill for my time addressing said outrageous demands). The client is a friend of a 39 year old guy I went out with on 4 dates and then just never called. The guy also never made a move on me and I think he never called because we didn't make out. I am not good at making a move, but I was open to him doing so. I am admittedly hard to read, but seriously, walk me to my door! Anyway, after dealing with this client for a while, I just wanted to yell at him that I wasn't going to help him because I can't bill him for it and HIS FRIEND IS A PUSSY WHO DIDN'T MAKE A MOVE AND THEN DIDN'T CALL AND MADE ME FEEL BAD. Yeah, I just told a story about a guy who didn't call. I am awesome. But really, I have to deal with a friend of his as a CLIENT? That is just dumb luck.
And now the not shouty, but still potentially drunk part of the post: Please Touch Revisited.
Some of you may remember when Jillian and I took our first visit to the Please Touch Museum. It did not go that well. This Sunday we decided to give it another try, as it had moved into a new space in Fairmount Park. Also, I had become a member earlier in the week because the Trinidadian Nanny Mafia was going to roll there on Wednesday. However, there was a water main break in the park causing the museum to close and so they couldn't go. The kids were super disappointed. Jillian actually got on the phone with her friend B. They were on speaker and B goes - "how are we going to have fun now?" J didn't have an answer for that.
Given the disappointment, the newly minted membership, and the fact that if J and I stay in the house all day we drive each other crazy, I took her to the new Please Touch Museum this Sunday. And IT IS AWESOME. Seriously, so much better than the old one. And so much fun. Here is J doing a little painting. Note the importance of negative space in her work....
J also did alittle shopping at the grocery store. We don't know the girl working the register, but I was relieved that J didn't just refer to her as bizarley.
Also in the museum is a toy that I had when I was a kid that J now plays with because my parents apparently saved it for the past 30 years....
J and I explored the museum for a few hours, touching things as the museum asks us to do, and then sat outside and had our lunch. While sharing some delicioso watermelon, J looked at me and said "Mommy, it really is a beautiful day." I smiled at her and agreed. So it really can't all be that bad....
