Snippet

I recently overheard a certain 6 year old say, while getting into bed and giggling uncontrollably, “Don’t go near the carnies*, dad! They’ll take all your money!”

*(I hope I haven’t offended any carnival workers, but it was darned funny!)

Instead

Instead of working on my novel, I was reading blogs.

Instead of cooking dinner, I am blogging.

Instead of knitting, I will be working on my novel.

Anybody else having a day like that?

Also, a quick note to quietly mark the passing of one of our fish, Goldie, swimming happily now in that great big goldfish bowl in the sky. May the water be warm and oxygenated, and may you always have just the right amount of food to eat. Good-bye Goldie!

RIP

Oh Amex Card, I’m so sorry I lost you yesterday while we were running errands. I thought I’d tucked you back in my bag, but I guess you tumbled out onto the ground. I’m terribly sorry I had to cancel you but I’m so glad that you are not out there somewhere, being forced to make huge purchases against your will. I miss you and will always remember the wonderful times we had together–the late night online yarn purchases, the Indian food, the Target runs. Rest in peace my dear Amex card. I’ll remember your security number always.

WTF?

I woke up yesterday, feeling slightly nauseous and was, two hours later, in the throes of a vicious stomach flu. I can’t believe the ferocity with which this virus kicked my @$$. Seriously, I was too sick to knit. TOO SICK TO KNIT! It sucked.

This morning I am feeling better. Not 100%, but better. I’m going to take it easy. I’m going to lie on the couch and sip some tea and knit.
