A lazy Saturday, an erroneous “black crises” warning, and not feeling it out…

~Saturday~  I had a lazy, lazy Saturday. After sleeping seven hours, I got up, had breakfast, played a little Scrabble and worked on Friday’s blog entry. Starting at about 1:00, I read a good chunk of The Help, of which I’m coming down the home stretch now, and after which I fell asleep for another couple … Read more

Vacation days dissipating, her OWN network, January to forget December Sale, and no stinking luck…

~Saturday, New Year’s Day~ I slept in again this morning. The precious few vacation days left are quickly dissipating. There were no New Year’s Day parades or football games on any of the TVs in my house today. Oh yeah, I don’t own any TVs. Just sayin’… The gym was only open from 10:00 – … Read more

Dated t-shirt sightings, an over-priced albeit delicious meal, and ringing in the new year…

~Friday, New Year’s Eve~  I slept in today. In the afternoon, I went to the gym, where I did some stretching exercises, 300 ab crunches, and 30 minutes on the elliptical machine. Some soap opera, I think it might have been General Hospital, had a very, very, very dramatic (one could almost say melodramatic) episode … Read more

A boo earworm, boss churn, jonesin’ for free Glee, and a lot of cognitive dissonance…

~Tuesday~  For some reason—and that would be that lady’s endearment (“boo”) yesterday to the boy on the cellphone who had to run across the street to catch the bus—I was singing (and I use the term loosely) Nelly’s Dilemma to myself. As I was boarding the 7:45 city bus, a kid ran up to the … Read more

All caught up with Glee, Mostly Social Book Club, and some short-lived insanity…

~Sunday~  I went to Jen’s at 1:00 for “Glee Club,” where we first reviewed the Wikipedia entries for the next three episodes picking up from where we left off last. The reason we only reviewed these instead of watching them was because I’d already seen them a while back, when I first watched the Laryngitis … Read more

Glee Club with Jen, stocking up food at work, Facebook twins, & scareyoke…

~Sunday~  My alarm was set for 11:15. I woke up at 11:30. Good thing it wasn’t a work day, as it turned out it was set for 11:15 PM. I hate it when that happens. I attended “Glee Club” at Jen’s house at 2:00, and we watched the first three episodes after the Sectionals episode: … Read more

Country gospel, the guts to kill him when he asked, back to the gym, a GLEEful day & Kurt’s dad…

~Sunday~  I’d set my alarm for 11:00, but was up at 9. I made a most delicious turkey sausage and cheddar cheese omelet for breakfast, which I enjoyed with some whole wheat toast and coffee. In what’s as close to a Sunday morning ritual that I’ve been able to keep, I listened to a country … Read more

Magic 27, all the single footballers, and should Fido get the Body of Christ?

~Sunday~ On my way back from the beach, I stopped for gas, and saw this sign above my pump. I’m still trying to get my head around the magical age of 27. I mentioned on Friday that my friend Hugh and I had a discussion about how the priest at my ex-brother-in-law’s memorial service had disinvited … Read more
