One of those kind of days

Ever have one of those days where you feel like the fates are against you every step of the way? Well, today was my day to have the powers that be shine on me.

It isn't even 8:00 p.m. and I have opened a bottle of Malbec and am going to go to bed very, very soon.

Here are a few highlights:

Started day by losing contact, finally was resolved to open the new pair when I found my old one stuck to the top of my foot. Dusted it off, but it is just not the same will need to open new set tomorrow. Maybe being able to see properly will make everything all better.
Dropped breakfast on the floor while carrying the bestest bagel with cream cheese and boysenberry jam to the table. Dogs loved the snack, however was not too upset because had one more bagel in reserve which I forgot about and incinerated. Dogs didn't love second bagel as much as first.
Dropped all of AE's clean shorts in dog's water dish, have now rewashed, but somehow a kleenex made its way into second load and will need to re-do...tomorrow.
JG turned the sprinkler on when I was ensuring it was properly attached, proceeded to drop on good foot. Foot not so good anymore.
Got locked out of the house, thank goodness had finally found the one house key we owned and recently hid it - just in case. However, couldn't remember where I had hidden lone key, finally found it and now must find second really good hiding place.
Lastly, showed up for AE's softball game 45 minutes early for 7:15 start. Unfortunately game really started at 6:00 p.m. so we were 1/2 hour late and she couldn't play. She and JG really didn't seem too upset because they got treats. JG said, "I think that was the best game yet." Must double check all dates in handy, dandy Google calendar.

Have you met my friend Jane?

I am a complete Jane Austen junkie, in fact I think that I need to maybe seek help. Shelly tells me I need help and we all know Shel tells it like it is, so it must be true. "Hello, my name is Susan and I love Jane. Jane Austen." I read "Pride and Prejudice", annually. Yes, every year I spend a weekend with Elizabeth Bennett and Fitzwilliam Darcy. Now that I think about it I may need to skip my little tradition this year because I have so many other never read books piled up and there is a due date looming from the library. The reason I share this closeted truth with you my friends is because there is a TV event starting this weekend on PBS. It is basically the 10 weeks of Jane, every Sunday night PBS will air a adaptation of Jane Austen's novels. Here is the schedule. So, if you have never had the opportunity to get to know Jane, maybe it is time. Think about it, there is no new TV, it's cold out and you can learn new some new sayings for Monday. Nothing ...

Hiatus no more

I don't know what it is about January, but 'round about January 15th I go into a complete and utter funk - hence no blogging. It is as if I need to cocoon for a bit, metamorphosize, and re-enter the world in February. This year has been especially bad due to our chaotic schedules with the kids, plus I have been working almost 60 hours per week as it is budget time and we are determining what exactly does "hunkering down" look like. Don't worry, work is still fun, challenging might be a better word. I truly love my new job, actually it was a promotion - didn't officially know until this week, so that jump starts the old engine as well. Other than that I have also realized in the last week my body is really, really mad at me. Things are just not working as they should and finally made the decision to go see the doctor who helped with the torn ligament a few years ago. Bottom line, just haven't been taking care of myself and he cracked me around a bit so can ...
