1. I'm tired of being tired.
2. I have strained my left tricep. I'm beginning to think that this whole exercise thing is just too dangerous for some people.
3. I love biscuits.
4. I also love lima beans.
5. And meatloaf.
6. Stupidity really makes my head hurt lately.
7. I do not feel 39 at all.
8. I wish it was NFL time. Basketball sucks.
9. One of my couch cushions is noticeably cleaner than the others. I wonder if that Resolve upholstery cleaner is any good?
10. We had a cow slaughtered and processed- $196 for 585 pounds of beef. That is .34 per pound--steaks, roasts, and loads of ground beef. Guess what we'll be eating this spring and summer? I've been paying $2.00+ per pound for ground round.
11. I have fifty dollars in my cash stash drawer. This is pathetic, but I cannot remember the last time that I intentionally set aside cash to have for miscellaneous purposes. I'm soooo bad with money. This fifty makes me feel very happy. I'm putting ten bucks per week in the drawer. I think I will use it to buy myself a new swimsuit. Or some really great spring/summer shoes. Or to pay school fees for next year. Ugh. Kids are so expensive.
12. Our school has a new dress code next year--the kids have to wear solid shirts w/ a collar in one of six colors--navy and white are the county-wide colors and then our school added light blue, red, black and pink. Naturally we have approximately five shirts between three kids that will meet these regulations. I imagine part of #11 will also be used to purchase school shirts. I'm conflicted about this--I like the idea of being able to dress them easier and in the long run, it will make life easier because we won't have so many clothes, but I also hate the idea of seeing nothing but blue and red and the occassional pink. It's going to be weird.
13. My parents' 41st anniversary is coming up and I want to send them something because I never do. I'm thinking about an edible fruit bouquet, but they're sort of pricey and my mother could make one of them on her own for far less and that nags at the one frugal bone I have. But the idea of presents is to splurge on a treat, right? Ugh. I don't know.
14. I cannot believe that The Closer won't start new episodes until frigging JULY. Pisses me off.

tonight we ate chinese and at the end of the meal, the highlight was, of course, the fortune cookie. even though i don't actually eat the cookie anymore, i still read the fortune because you never know when they might stick in a coupon for a free buffet or something. so, my little scrap of paper contained this view of my future:
that is NOT a fucking fortune--it's a cheesy, proverby, homily, so WHY was it in my fortune cookie? i guess on an amusing note, i could use my friend kelly's trick of adding 'in bed' at the end of my so-called fortune and it would at least be interesting...assuming the friend had batteries, of course, and not like a real person because that would be, well weird.
a friend is a present which you give yourself

i do love anna--she's my little sister from sigma kappa back in college. i've not seen her in forever and a day. life, you know. but we met for dinner (I was really late because i seem to have this recurring problem with eastern time, whcih is rather foriegn to me) and then went for more drinks in the bar.
i need to drag out the old college photos for comparison, lol, but she hasn't changed a bit. me, well, i'm looking significantly more haggard and using three times the amount of eye makeup--seriously, wtf?
anna and me

we had a blast just talking and laughing (loudly) and remembering old times (Cary, I'm sure you remember the road trips to UTC and get this, my 'friend' that puked his guts up out the window of our apartment? the one that gave me the roses and the one that made me miss that sig kap ceremony, etc. well, he? is a freaking judge now--so i'm not about to post his name. a judge, lmao. it ain't easy bein' cheesy).
oh, and just because. for dinner, i had meatloaf (my favorite 'real' food), but since i loaded up on chips and jalepeno spinach cheese dip (yes, i, the person who loathes three of those four ingredients ate said dip), i didn't eat much. i got a to-go box for the rest because it seemed shameful to waste it; however, since we were still out and about, i had to put it in my purse. thankfully i have a large purse, but let me tell you folks. you know your frigging old when you're out at a bar and when you go to pay your tab you have to take meatloaf out of your purse. the leftovers:
i swear, this looked much better IRL, too, rather like my eye makeup did. not that my eye makeup resembled meatloaf, but in the fact that both suffered in the photo process.yeah, i'm done. good night.

Too scattered to post on one topic:
1. Britney--I'll be writing you another letter, but for now, child, please be safe and don't eat a handful of Xanax or Valium. I swear, I don't think I could mentally survive another AnnaNicolesque macabre post-mortem DAWing. Oh, and for the love of God and all that is holy, when you get out of rehabd, buy a fucking wig that doesn't look like something I could buy in the clearance bin at Dollar Mart with the lavender lipstick and the red plastic earrings. And lose the brolly. It's bad for the image.
2. Just because one attends water aerobics class that is popular with the senior set, one should not assume it will be an "easy" workout. Trust me and my calves.
3. IT IS SUPPOSED TO SNOW IN FEBRUARY, DAMMIT! WHERE IS MY SNOW?
4. If you have not had a Special K Protein Bar in chocolate peanut butter, then you have missed out on a 10g treat. Yum. Yum. If you are my husband, you have now tried them, so stay away from them.
5. If it was possible to live off said bars and popcorn, then I would be the single happiest person on Earth.
6. I've been messages by some freaks on Myspace. If you have a young daughter, please do not let her have an account.
7. It dawned on me that my oldest child will soon be 14. How is this possible? I am not old enough to have a child that is 14. That's not a little kid anymore. Ugh.
8. Why is it that I am the only chick in the United States that cannot pull off the straight hair look, no matter how hard I try? All I can think of is cheap wig every time I try it. I will say that even then, my hair is miles better than that polyester shit that Britney is sporting.
9. I do love me some Tarte Cheek Stain. That stuff rocks--even if it is stupid expensive for blush. Tipsy is my shade of late.
10. Tyra needs to step away from the hot rollers. Just step away, girlfriend.

I'm sitting here on my substantial posterior doing absolutley nothing today. W. is on a trip for the weekend, so it's just me and the boys. Well, not all of them--Five went to a church retreat last night and won't be home until Sunday, so it's just me and the little guys, but only until 4:00. At 4:00, they'll both be leaving--one to spend the night with MIL and the other to go to a Predators game, so it will be just me, myself and I for six or seven hours.
For some reason, perhapsin part because I'm just giddy at the prospect of being all alone this evening, I've been rendered immobile because I cannot seem to get up and do diddly today. It isn't the engaging content on the internet that's distracting me because I appear to be one of five people online today. It's not the television programming because right now its one of Court TVs true-crime shows and I have no clue what's going on. It isn't a lack of sleep because I went to bed at 10 and didn't wake until 8. I suppose it can only be one thing--I'm a lazy slug. *sigh*
Eventually I'm going to have to drag myself from my bed and supervise the showering and dressing of the two kiddos and make myself presentable. Then, I'll drop them where they need to be and proceed to my favorite steak place and get something takeout for dinner ( steak and chicken combo that is to die for...rib-eye and marinated chicken breast, both of which just melt in your mouth), eat in front of something on my DVR backlog, and at 7, treat myself to the movies-Music and Lyrics. I really SHOULD be cleaning something, sorting something or doing sme sort of household improvements or at the very least going to the Y and using some sort of equipment, but that just seems so very daunting right now. I really am a lazy slug, it seems.

That when all else fails, go get a chocolate-dipped cone from McDonalds and read a nice novel or do a Sudoko and your day is suddenly better?
I'd add in a bottle or two of wine, but I have to be up early in the morning.
