i was born to do this

random wierdness

she is a ballerina

she has obviously never taken a dance lesson in her life, and yet somehow, she just knows what to do. is it inborn? do all girls just know how to be ballerinas?

she put on a show for us all and wouldn't let us talk...it was very serious.

she had a straight face the whole time and wanted to be taken very seriously as a ballerina in her real dance garb, thanks to aunt april.

and you know what? she actually has some moves. maybe dance is in her future. i guess the best is yet to come.

things i hate today: bah humbug edition

1. being up coughing all night.

2. waking up aching and feeling like overall crap.

3. craving chocolate. stupid pms.

4. not being able to call in sick because half my staff is out sick and my boss. good times.

5. not being in bed drinking hot cinnamon tea and watching america's next top model reruns while under a pile of down comforters sorrounded by warm dogs.

whatevs...bah humbug.

random facts about me: 2nd edition

...i hate watching movies. too long usually and i have a hard time sitting still that long.

...if i do watch a movie, it's going to be a comedy or musical. nothing serious.

...i'm in love with the new furminator we bought. i will brush anyone's dog i can get my hands on.

...my favorite scent is cucumber melon or mint. so clean.

...my favorite tea is cinnamon. the more spicy, the better.

...i have so many dreams at night that i wake up exhausted. i remember all of them.

...i don't mind mondays. in fact, it's a nice break from the craziness of the weekend.

she loves to cook

she serenaded me while we waited for the cookies to be done. the cracker box was her drum and the spatulas were her drumsticks. she rocked it.

oh, the weather outside is frightful

but the fire (heat?!) is so delightful.

and since we've no place to go (except work and swim class)...

let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

but it's florida. so instead of snowing, it's just going to kill my tomatoes, peppers, green beans and eggplant.

the cold can suck it.

and because it was so cold last night, we turned on the heat and snuggled under the covers.

i was awarded two hours of "me time" from the boudreaus, who took my girl and let her play with marley.

they even bathed her, put her in jammies and brought her back to my house.

as if that wasn't enough, bryan gave me a stack of playboy mags (which i absolutely love to read - for the ARTICLES people! :P) and a bottle of wine.

um...best dad EVER. playboys, wine and time to myself. score.

but alas, instead i watched tv, read a little of my book, drank the wine and worked out for 30 minutes. it felt good though. i feel refreshed.

the second meg got home, i felt so bad for the boudreaus - evidently she only meowed the whole time she was there. annoying. trust me, this i know.

come out, come out, wherever you are

so i know people read this blog.

i see the stats and referring websites and i know that there are multiple page views a day.

so where are you?

comment! i like hearing from people.

ah, nothing like reverse stalking...

things i love: december 7 edition

1. parmesan popcorn made old school style on the stove with olive oil. heaven.

2. watching old school rudolph christmas specials with my girl while eating said popcorn.

3. i told my girl that i used to watch this rudolph special when i was a little girl. a certain four year old then said that must have been 99 and 13 (her words) years ago.

4. vacation and time off. it's coming. i can feel it.

5. sitting down to dinner with my girl last night and her chattering away about her day.

it's a black fly in your chardonney

it's a death row pardon, two minutes too late. and isn't it ironic - don't you think?

two things i don't like:

1. stupid alanis morisette songs that make no sense, given her lack of understanding what irony means.

2. a black fly in my chardonney, er...red wine.

and to further make this disgusting, this fly has been dead since last week at meghan's birthday party in that bottle of wine. and it's my second glass tonight. and the fly hit my lip.

i have to go scrub my lips off now...
