Sunday night junk food

I'm a little disturbed sometimes by the amount of frozen junk food that we eat. I was feeling snacky, and L finished the salsa, so I just pulled a bunch of taquitos out of the toaster oven and am dipping them into sour cream and sirachi sauce. Don't ever accuse me of being a food snob.

The only bit of snobbery I still cling to is for malted adult beverages. hmmmm...ESB.

I gave up any pretense of serious studying about a half hour ago. Nothing like proofreading your last will and testament to make you want to, er, each frozen junk food dipped in sour cream and drink beer? Anyway, it seems like a good time to get the house in order, and the envelope had been sitting on the coffee table for several weeks unopened. (Although L claims to have opened it previously.) So now it's catching you up with our happenings.

Even though the China trip is funded and applications have been accepted, there's still a heckofalotta paperwork to go through. Sent off a fax earlier today. Still need another round of shots. And I have to get the bill paid. But the plane ticket is bought!!! And two Chinese librarians have responded to Hui's posting to a bulleting board--so I might have a conversation partner waiting for me at BeiDa.

What's Bloomin':

• Lilacs (first time in 4 years. It's all about the pruning.)
• Tulips (almost finished)
• Camilias (still hanging in there, but dropping hard)
• Money plants (just starting)
• Azalea (wow! It's super showy this year.)

the irises are starting to set their blossoms, the rhodies look like they'll pop anytime, and there's all sorts of other things that are threatening. Look out May!
