Day out

A couple of weeks ago Sebastien and I put on our fancy duds and headed to the big city for a business thing. (I don't really have chicken legs; I have perfectly normal legs that occasionally appear as chicken legs in photographs.)

We've been to these things before. I once tried really hard to follow and understand, but I couldn't. I didn't have the basic knowledge. Now I bring reading material. I usually have to hide it behind my packet of charts and graphs and whatnot; this time I brought a magazine, laid it flat on my table and read about John Dear.

Calvin was babysitting, and all the children knew that they could call me on my cell phone if needed. They are more important than a seminar, so I would take their calls. Well, we sat in the front in a room full of hundreds. My phone rang about a 1/2 hour in. I opened it so that it would stop ringing. I made my way to the rear and then out into the lobby area.

Susan: This is Maman.
Freddy: Can I have a hotdog?

While I was taking this very important call, one of the presenters was taking one too. I was wondering if he was answering the same question.

On the way home we bought our new kitchen linens from Crate & Barrel. I love them! I'm going back for napkins next. We also got (on sale) a shower curtain for my newly decorated bathroom. I can't hang it yet, not until I touch up the really bad paint job.
