Like a sitcom?
To the casual observer, Leina's life can be a bit crazy. Sometimes she is scheming, sometimes she is being totally irrational. Like how she drives all over town to find friends who will accept trash that is in excess of the container that the City of San Francisco has allotted her.
Or when she finds herself with multiple houseguests, and give one her bed, one the guest bed, and then sleeps on the couch. And mind you that these houseguests are not old, infirm, or nursing bad backs. Or when she gets invited to a wedding (Leina gets invited to tons of weddings) and then finds out that her friend was not invited to the wedding so when he asks her if she was invited she lies and says she wasn't so he doesn't feel bad. Or when she sets a plant in its pot on the front yard and then doesn't move it for so long that the roots of the plant grow through into the yard and it becomes impossible to uproot it.
The point of this? Leina's life can be much like a sitcom. Like a bad sitcom, because she's zany, but not a caricature of someone who's off the deep end and thereby funny to laugh at. We don't laugh at Leina, we laugh with her.

WOW! I thot that my sisters could only amuse me! I want to thank you for the "chinese" garlic. Liane suggested that I send you Jos. Schmidt chocolates as a thank you or a A&F T-shirt.
By the way does the green sink and tub play nice with the white toilet?
where is "old greenie"? miki's place? yumi's place?
blogographer,
i should have realized that leina had issues when she made me take junk to some dumpster in the middle of the night. i will watch for her on garbage day.
everyone is welcome to read lelekolo's blog. he has a lot in common with those involved with leina's life. his family lives near puckaway lake in wisconsin. blogographer, aren't you from that great state? he is worldly like mrs. blogographer. most important, he is cheap and likes to ramble like our leina.
