My Pants Look Like a Snicker Wrapper

It's a Saturday morning, and for once we are having a laid back day. Work and my personal life have been so hectic lately (ok, the last 10 years); it's a difficult time. I am basically sacrificing all my personal time and activities in the name of driving over two hours a day to get my kids where they need to be, and to properly take care of the new dog. When I move in March, all that will come to a screeching halt, and I just can't wait!

In the meantime, I am trying to make the best of it. Last week I realized all my pants were tight. That's only depressing because it's evidence that I haven't been doing anything for two months. Today I decided I can't wait any longer, I'm going to have to figure it out somehow. The only way I can schedule a run or anything where I'm sure it will get done, will be to get up at 4:30 a.m. That seems pretty impossible, but "I think" I'm going to try it. I am a night owl, so this is really a hard prospect! No matter how tired I am during the day, I get a second wind around 9 or 10:00, and then I drag ass the following day (which is every day during the week). My perfect schedule would be to stay up until 1:00 a.m., and get up at 9:00! Then I could run at 10:00 p.m., no problem! Wishful thinking...

So, today I am lounging around in a pair of sweat pants I bought when I was pregnant with Ray. Being 5'10", it's hard to find women's lounge pants that are long enough (it was a lot tougher seven years ago). So I bought a men's pair, which lasted me through my pregnancy. But I still wear them... they are comfy! Today Ray proclaimed, "Hey, mom! Your pants look like a Snicker wrapper!" That made me laugh... I'm a Snicker bar!

Did You Know That...

When building a house, the bigger the headache you have, the better the house? My builder has assured me of this...

When building a house, there are approximately 153 exterior trim options and decisions to make? We won't even talk about the interior...

Someone could find my blog by googling "ass and underwear Greek Proverb"? Hmmm...

I haven't ran or done anything at all (as in intentional physical exercise) in approximately two and a half months? Ugh...

If you replace the watch you lost, you will find it. So don't get the exact same one again, no matter how much you loved it... and don't badmouth the hotel maid (oops, sorry).

The secret to "lucky" people is that they simply don't give a shit when dealt a bad card. What bad card? (I just happen to have a couple other dueces.)

"Everything" is in your head... except lonliness. That's real.

If you give your (or my) teenager your credit card, and make it clear they are not to buy anything for themselves... they will still find a way to charge three time more than you expected.

Sting has a PBS Christmas special on right now (OMG, the trumpets are amazing... how can someone play that instrument so soft and perfect?).

I love PBS concerts.

A six year old boy and a six month old puppy have the same amount of energy... boundless.

I must confess, I could use some rest... (i.e., work is done). Good night!
