I call a do-over.

I think I've used that same subject heading before. I've officially become lame. *stamps lame certificate* So today almost brought y'all a woe post from me. ALMOST. Went to bed blue. Woke up blue. Didn't help that the first news article I read was that they found James Kim's body. That poor family. (SF family that got lost in the mountains, for those not keeping up with Current Events) I'm missing Mr. S, I've been feeling overwhelmed by everyone's NEED and me being the only person that's needed (gah) and under-motivated to do anything, BUT.

I took the dog for our 5 mile walk (which quickly became a 2 mile walk when the wind gusted up to 30mph making the 40 degree weather feel WAY colder) and all I had on was my grey hoodie. I totally had a Uni-bomber look going, which for some reason cracked me up. Apparently, imagining that I'm a serial terrorist cheers me up. YOU'VE ALL BEEN WARNED.

Today is FUGGIN' freezing and so there will be a stock pot of turkey chili made. There will be comfort movie watching (as yet to be determined). There will be fudge consumed. There may even be, dare I say, a hot chai. What there WON'T be is: whining on my part. Any chores done. (screw 'em) Any errands involving me leaving the house. CRAP. Except for one, but it's my volunteer day at the library, but it's a half-hour, so that gets a pass.

I have monster writer's block. The creativity well done dried up. Who does what when that happens? I'm going to see if making scarves and fudge eating fixes mine. Probably not, but it's the EFFORT that counts. Heh.

And tonight is Best Comedy Night on TV night. My Name is Earl is okay, but THE OFFICE! SCRUBS!! 30 ROCK!!! <-- why aren't more people watching this? It's EXCELLENT. It's so damn funny. Plus, I heard a rumor that there's JD/Turk in the musical episode, hahahaha! Okay, blue mood is lifting.

Chili sounds soooo good! I wish my kids would eat it. Heck, right now I wish Nathan could eat anything. Poor little guy, he got food poisoning during that trip to Oak Ridge (little tip: never buy a commercially made smoothie!) and his tummy is still hurting from it.

You're having colder weather than we are! That doesn't seem right. But we'll get our natural weather tomorrow, which I hope for your sake means that the order of things will be righted and you'll be warmer.

Hey, has your family seen the movie "Flushed Away" yet? Done by the same people that did Wallace & Gromit. So good, so funny. Highly recommended.

I hope the blues will not stay for long, sweetie.

You didn't get that smoothie from Jamba Juice, did you? Because you might want to check the news. Poor little guy.

It's supposed to be FREEZING tonight, but then back to the 30s-50s, which is normal for us. We haven't seen it yet - we're waiting for the vacation to catch up on movies, so yay for knowing I won't be bored to tears!! I love Wallace & Grommit.

*hugs you back* Feeling better than I did, and a long and loving phone call with the Man helped. :)

It was actually the Freshens smoothie chain, but I think it's quite possible that they could get their strawberries from the same source. Thanks for the tip on the news, that just confirmed what I suspected.

Mmm HM! Damnable strawberries making your boy oogie tummed! (If you have any ginger in the house, I've found that INDESPENSIBLE for tummies that can't keep anything in them. I keep a cheap-o box of candied ginger in my pantry for just such an occasion. Even if they chew on it and spit it out, it still works.)

Oh, good luck, Anne. I hope the day ends better than it started.
