Quick Update from Average Jane

I hate to admit it, but I’m starting to enjoy Twitter almost more than blogging. If it let you include photos, I’d be in heaven.

For those of you who don’t follow me on Twitter, here’s what’s happened since I last posted:

I took Velcro to the vet. There’s nothing they can do about her hearing, but she seems otherwise healthy. They did a needle aspiration biopsy of a lumpy area on her chest because of her history of cancer, but the doctor is inclined to think that it’s nothing serious.

My niece and I went to Disney on Ice Princess Wishes. When my sister brought her over, she didn’t know where we were going. When I told her, her reaction was forced and polite, which made me realize that she really is a getting a little old for stuff like that. Oops.

I took her out for dinner and then we went to the arena. Our seats were excellent and it ended up being more fun than either of us had expected. Leave it to Disney to understand how to put on a spectacle. My main source of entertainment was waiting to see if any of the ice skaters would fall down. Aladdin came close, as did Snow White and her prince, but we had to wait for the final number before Prince Charming bit it.

One impression: pair skating means that the princes were often manhandling the princesses in rather inappropriate ways. I’m just saying…

On Sunday, I got up early to bake Italian bread and make the baked ziti for Easter supper. I’d accidentally bought fat-free mozzarella for the pasta, but fortunately I found a grocery store that was open. There ended up being eleven people at my sister’s for the meal, so I was glad I’d chosen a dish that makes a ton of food. Even so, there were no leftovers.

I don’t know what I did to myself yesterday (carrying the giant sack of food? carrying a big bag of kitty litter?), but my neck and back are aching and spasming fiercely today. There’s no point in my wearing perfume today because you wouldn’t be able to smell it in competition with the Flexall. Other than that, I’m feeling optimistic about the day. How about you?
