Happy Birthday, Me!

Made it all the way ’round the sun again, whew.

Now I’m going back to bed.

I’ve got $69.97 in the bank and I feel positively RICH!!

What makes you feel rich?

Why?

1.  Why does an hour of blogging seem like 5 minutes but an hour of barre chord practice seem like 5 hours?

2. Why, when there are 20 (I kid you not,) of my husband’s salad dressings in the fridge, does he usually polish off my only favorite – the Newman’s Balsamic Vinaigrette?

3.  Why does same (wonderful, loving,) husband still ask me where the scissors, stapler and pens are – when I’ve kept them in the same location for almost 19 years?

4.  Why hasn’t my hair, except for the bangs, gotten noticeably longer since I last had it cut at Great Clips six months ago?

5.  Why do I live in hope I’ll find some thong underwear that are actually comfortable?

6.  And why, oh why, are there so many songs about rainbows and what’s on the other side?

Today I’m so grateful for my wonderful Colgate Torque-4400 Plaque Removal System, as pictured above!   Just a simple item but I’m really really glad to have it, so many people in this world would give their eye teeth for one — which might kinda defeat the purpose, but anyway…

And you?  What simple possession(s) you are grateful for today?

3 & 1/2 days

Wednesday I ran 3 miles, practiced guitar for 2 intentioned hours, blogged for 2 hours, had a great kung fu class and got along like best friends with every single being in the world.  My hair even looked good!

Thursday I skipped exercise, blogged 4 hours, worked on guitar only 30 minutes, felt like a bit of a twit over my previous blog post, wasn’t quite patient enough with Kelly and she threw a fit, no – a ROYAL FIT in the grocery store, of which I’ll not be darkening the doors again for probably four years.  Maybe five.  Or ten.  (Should both be sufficiently aged by then for us not to be recognized.)  

Did I mention my hair looked like crap on Thursday?  I seriously advise not chopping your bangs in dim light with dull scissors after an 8-oz glass of wine.

Yesterday (Friday,) she woke with fever and puked a bit.  I got to play nurse, did a little guitar, a little bloggin’.   And LOTS of sleeping, yes!!!

Today?  Too early to tell.  I remain optimistic.  She’s much better – eating us out of house and home.
