What's Kickin' Around My Noggin

First,
I appreciate so much your words of concern
for my human experience in memory loss.
I did absolutely nothing yesterday aside from making my bed.
I rested.
And ate leftovers.
And napped.

Today is a new day
and I feel more clarified (? is that really a word?)
I feel better.
So thank you thank you thank you!!!

Tonight is trunk r treat at the church.
Ari wants to go as a "Baby"...she really wants to wear
her footie-pajamas
and the Boofus wants to wear his Sunday suit
and go as a "Business Man".
So grateful these yahoos are going simple this year.

We still haven't replaced the main floor television.
I don't know if I want to.
Initially,
it was a "crisis" when the old one died--
there was much
weepin', n' wailin' n' gnashing of teeth.

But now,
the house is quieter.
Kids are actually reading,
playing with their toys,
hanging out in each other's rooms,
and in general, being civilized.
Which is always when the yahoos
act civilized, yes?

The behemoth is still sitting there.
ded.
D-E-D. ded.
I don't even know what we'll do with it
once we replace it.
I don't think I can sit it out on the curb?
Idunno.

I got a bill from the public library yesterday.
A bill.
for books that we checked out probably 2 months ago.
for $161.00
no kidding.
The books were returned last Friday,
before we got the bill,
but still.
I flat -out forgot to return them.
Heck, I forgot that we even had them.
Nana's the one who took 'em back for me.
It's probably time to just cancel our cards--
I really can't be forking over late fees for library books.
That's just stupid.

It was 27o here last night.
Twenty-seven.
When the Caboose heard the mountains got snow
she lamented this morning,
"Where's our snow?"
It's coming, little girl, dontchu worry about that.
The heater is officially "ON"...
about stinkin' time too.
It's the end of October!
Bring on the SNOW already!
I'm just kidding.
a little.

Elections.
Am I the only one who is so
sick
sick
sick
of the political commercials?
They're pathetic liars.
Whomever is in charge of each candidates' PR
should be fired...
cuz they couldn't sell cocaine to a drug addict.
I mean,
the good people of our country
are looking for some sound, honest citizens to
lead US,
represent US,
occasionally look over their shoulders
back at US,
but my land!
who can tell if there's a leader like that
in our midst for all of the contention,
mud-throwing,
pure ugliness,
that pollutes our airwaves and our minds??

Where are the Good Guys in the white hats??

I know of only one race where I will vote with a clear conscience:
that's the Mayoral race here in Colorado Springs.
We know one of the candidates, Brian Bahr.
He's as good as they come,
and an easy pick in my mind.
He has absolutely no political experience,
but he has other qualifications and a sound character
that I can trust.
N' for that, he'll get my vote.

What else?
I'm down to a 4 day work week.
Whew. I feel better already.

Also,
after watching "Julie and Julia",
I thought I'd like to do something
for 365 days and blog about it.
Here are some of my ideas--
don't steal them, okay?:
365 of Tortillas
365 of Spinach
365 of Random Acts of Kindness
365 of Not Cooking
365 Days of Not Making My Bed
365 Days of FlipFlops
365 Days of Oprah

That's all I've got so far.

If you were going to do a "365-Days-of-Something",
what would you do??
Inquiring minds wanna know.
So Spill It.
