The sun is shining the snow is melting (and will refreeze later) I met up with Giggles, we enjoyed new things at our usual place, gossiped a bit, had some good natured ribbing over hockey teams and she presented me with the best-est gift I get all year...
Now it takes a true Russell Crowe fan to truly enjoy this calendar and only a select few are so graced to see the work of one lone Canadian woman but man is it GOOD. Makes that space in my beige box all the brighter... that and my Gladiator poster and my "A Good Year" poster... it a beige box people I've GOT to do something with it... Besides are you really going to argue with a woman who has the movie poster of Gladiator on her wall? Really?
I thought not.
I have made my way home, found my kitchen under the 600 pounds of dishes I left from last night's dinner and the laundry is almost done. Boys and Girls - this is what the good life is all about. Now remember this when I'm whining about busy weekends and being over booked because I've done it to myself. And I know this but if I don't complain somewhere, some how I will just bust - and trust me that won't be pretty. We all have our escape valves that one is mine... yes bitching and moaning - I am a chick. Deal with it. Well that and hockey game - at full volume-- mine.
Although I did learn today that going outside to a large open space (like a park) opening ones arms and shouting nothing very loudly is also a great stress reliever and apparently makes you very accepted with the "local population" shall we say? ;-) Apparently Giggles said that was the advice she gave to a friend and when she took it literally - the reply was "it worked" along with "the winos think I'm one of them". Like I said - life doesn't get much better than that now does it?
Short visit today I'm going to bury my nose in a book and enjoy these last minutes of peace and quiet - well... to a point as the movie Bubba is currently watching has had in the last 5 minutes repeated use of the F-bomb the sound of power tools and people screaming "I'll talk" if this was Monday I'd say he's watching 24 - but he's not... *sigh* his taste in movies still sucks.
Ah well... this is why I read...
Stay warm, stay dry and to the person doing to snow dance (probably owns the local ski hut) cut it out already - there are threats of more 'weather' this week. ENOUGH ALREADY. Really - not kidding - for sure. Cripes and criminy. That is all.
Aww, Snuggie, what a lovely read and thanks for the kind comments!

Yay! The "lone Canadian woman" got to see how much you love the calendar! woohoo! And for more on the Stress Therapy, check out my blog. :-) And the chicken with pesto noodles was really awesome as leftovers! (Is it bad to have red velvet cheesecake for breakfast?)
