Currants and Currents

[catelin]

I woke up this morning believing, in that space before you really wake up, that I was back in my little bungalow on Wilcox with my legs wrapped around my long-haired boy genius, both of us still sticky sweet with Crème de Cassis. Nothing like a dog's nose in your face and kids jumping on your bed to remind you of exactly where you are. After breakfast there were some words exchanged with their father...not an even exchange really; just me sitting there while he bitched. I'm not an argumentative person. I argue for a living and don't care to do it much in my personal life. On the other hand, I am cursed with one hell of an Irish temper. I just got up after a few minutes and quietly hurled his favorite chair out the door...all the way to the street. Who knew I was so strong? Completely childish and totally gratifying...a gesture more laden with meaning than 1000 sour words. Perhaps I should take up the Caber Toss. I'm cleaning house today. And I mean it.

Oh, and I pilfered this from one of the last real southern gentlemen around:

Are we waiting for Princes?

I feel like I'm waiting for my King of Cups. I feel like Snow White...waiting and surrounded by drawves.

Heh! Ain't it a shame? I'm a Wands gal myself, so keep an eye out for me...although I usually end up with The Hanged Man. I'm a sucker for a paradox...what can I say? I'll start doing recon for Mr. Cups. : )

A lot of waves.

I'm trying to picture you throwing the chair, and I keep giggling because of course I picture you doing it with the tiara on. ;)

Hahaha! Well, I was very ladylike about it. I said, "You know, I've just always hated that chair." Then I calmly sat back down and finished my toast. I'm sure I looked ever so regal...the Queen of the Chair Tossing Maniacs! ; )

With a blowtorch? (evil grin)
Good thing you didn't hit anyone with the chair. You might need a lawyer.

I keep myself on retainer for just such occasions. ; )

current favorite book: "Winesberg, Ohio" by Sherwood Anderson

That's one of my favorite books of all time. It's been a very long time since I've read it though and I had forgotten about it. Thanks for the reminder. I have to go get a copy.
