It's Time...
After grumbling and cussing and shivering and itching my way through the last two weeks of freezing weather cold enough to make me LOSE MY RELIGION I think it's time for a top 10 list...
1. The SFPFH is finally done. (science fair project from hell...otherwise known as a public school's method for reducing the currently overloaded classrooms by resorting to provoking parents into making good on their threats of not allowing their third graders food or water UNTIL THE DAMN THING IS FINISHED knowing full well that 3rd graders are STUBBORN and don't understand the scientific method anyway so they will stage a hunger strike therefore significantly reducing enrollment in said public school.) Don't ask me how I know this.
2. My writing idol Jen has announced a THIRD book is going to be released!!! Look! ----->"BITTER IS THE NEW BLACK and BRIGHT LIGHTS, BIG ASS author Jen Lancaster's third book, PRETTY FAT: One Narcissist's Quest to Discover If Her Life Makes Her Ass Look Big; Or, Why Pie Is Not the Answer, the story of the heretofore-unabashedly-plus-sized Jen's quest to lose fifty pounds in six months by any means possible, to Kara Cesare at NAL, for six figures, by Kate Garrick at DeFiore and Company"... from www.jennsylvania.com
3. CAPITAL LETTERS
4. I haven't fallen off the treadmill yet today. (Yes, I fell off again last night but did not bite it this time...I managed to stay on my feet and landed in the 12 inches between the deck and the wall. Ta-daaa!
5. My new little space heater
6. The fact that I fit (barely) in my summer clothes so I don't have to go shopping for my trip.
7. Funny email that made me laugh out loud this morning (thanks mom)
8. The fantastic, funny, world-traveling author of one of my favorite blogs actually checked out my blog! Check out www.othejoys.blogspot.com OMG! Very cool. But my excitement is tempered with a little sadness because her grandfather just passed away. My lantern is lit.
9. Antibiotics for little people that taste good. (Kate's sick) Paula, can I get an Amen?! ;)
10. Forgiveness
Your turn!!!
