Last week when I was at my parents’ house, my mom attempted to say “BOO YAH” and instead said “BOO YAY” which was pretty much the cutest thing ever. And I am going to use it here from now on. So, what do you say, you guys? Can we all get involved with a little BOO YAY? I think we must. MOMS ARE CUTE.

Also? My mom frequently uses the phrase “FML” and when she first texted it to me, I was like WHAT ON EARTH? because I had no idea what it meant and then my sister explained it to me and I was all, RITA!? THAT IS NOT A VERY CHURCH-LIKE PHRASE. I don’t think Father Bob would APPRECIATE THAT.

I will probably be seeing dear Rita on Sunday as I’m going to Long Island to cheer up my pops who STILL does not have a hip surgery date who is STILL being jerked around by various surgeons and things and being asked for more tests and more procedures and CAN WE PLEASE GET A HIP SOMETIME SOON? KTHXBYE. We’re at the Six Month In A Wheelchair Mark. We’re tired.

Also, last Sunday I did my laundry at my parents’ house and…left it there.

I mean, TRAGIC.

My underwear is probably missing me. God knows I miss it. VERY MUCH.

Tonight, I am venturing out to theatre land to see this. It didn’t get the best reviews but I haven’t seen in a play in awhile and I’m stoked to GO TO THE THEATRE. (I said that last part in a pretentious Upper West Side kind of way. Maybe with a slight British accent.)

Tomorrow, I resume Italian lessons which is good because I’ve forgotten everything I learned last spring except the phrases I used repeatedly while in Italy which were “It’s hot today”, “It’s very hot today” and “I would like a cappuccino/four bus tickets/more pizza/extra artichokes”. I think things are going to go well, don’t you?

My Italian teacher left me a voicemail to confirm the lesson and then forgot I was not fluent in Italian, as she sometimes does, so half the message is in English and then she rapidly fires off some details in Italian before apologizing and correcting herself. It is genius. Perhaps she will forget about those first few weeks when I kept telling her my kitchen lived in Rome instead of my cousin. However, I don’t think that’s the kind of thing you can live down.

My kitchen is doing well, in case you were wondering. It enjoys Italy very much and her new Italian husband. BENE!

Other than that, I plan on cleaning my bathroom, hanging out with some twins, NOT flooding their apartment, nursing my knee which is still sprained and awful, keeping my sh*t in perspective and baking something autumnal. I’m thinking pumpkin chocolate chip cookies.

I tried my first maple soy latte today and it tasted like dreams and glitter plus also maple and soy. IT IS GOING ON MY GRATITUDE LIST, in case you were wondering.

But you weren’t.

So, have an amazing weekend, dudes. What is everybody doing? Tell me something exciting! SOME EXCITING WEEKEND PLANS! And for the love of God, please don’t comment about organic shallots because that last post is up to like sixteen comments and almost all of them contain that phrase. FML, Y’ALL.

AND BOO YAY.
