our bed is broken

and not from anything fun either! We were butting heads (DH and I) and I went upstairs to cool off, and sat on the bed to read, when BOUF, my ass (well, the mattress) is touching the floor!! Apparently the rail broke away from the side board. We have a pine sleigh bed, so all the parts are wood, and I guess it splintered. So at the moment, our boxspring and mattress are on the floor, where they will probably stay until next weekend when DH will have a chance to fix it.

And in other news, an old friend, *J*, of mine just invited me away for a weekend. A WHOLE weekend, Friday to Sunday, away from children, just the girls. It's a low-key staggette for a really good friend of mine *K*. J's parents have a "cabin" up at Whistler, so the idea is to go up for the whole weekend, do some hiking, go to the beach, and party on the Saturday night. God I hope DH can get away without working that Saturday. I need this more than anything right now. *J* said I could come up at any point over the weekend, but man, I REALLY want to go for the whole weekend.

And, among other things, our internet connection keeps cutting out. Our nextdoor neighbour has cable too, and she said hers is fine, so I'm thinking we need a new modem. So that's why I've been dissappearing for days at a time.

And, I still can't figure out how to post pictures.
