Dear Panera Bread baked potato soup from Costco, wheat bagel, and 3 decadent Lil' Smokies sausages,
I adore you. You were the best lunch ever - almost too good to eat! (Almost.) I shall never forget the moments we shared. Thank you for brightening my life.
-Me
Guess what I have!
If you guessed from the following list, then you are correct. All other answers are either incorrect, or not really interesting enough to make the list.
a. A sore throat.
b. 2 pairs of socks on my feet. (one pair are knee socks, one ankle)
c. A summons to jury duty next week.
d. Taiko tonight
e. A stack of Christmas stationary that is not depleting as fast as I'd hoped, but is underway.
f. A sleeping husband.
g. Three shirts on.
h. A full tummy and a happy smile.
Abbie's dance class had Observation Night last night. It was cute. Abbie seems reasonable attentive, but less coordinated than I had originally thought. And she does things at the wrong speed. We should practice at home, now that I know what to do. I took some video clips for the Annual photo DVD.
Speaking of which, I am WAY behind on that this year. Woops! I'm actually behind on everything. I have no presents for Josh, no stocking stuffers, and Grant's present has been decided on, but not purchased. Not to mention the list of mandatory presents for Josh's family.
Grant is eating school lunch for the first time today. He's all excited. Pretty awesome, considering that his mommy dropped the ball on making lunch and didn't notice until we were getting coats on! Two years from now, he'll be rolling his eyes and fussing at me. But not today! Today he thinks that hot lunch is an adventure.
I'm secretly on a quest for a women's' shirt that is neither a turtleneck nor leaves 4-ish inches of upper chest exposed to the elements. I want a nice, warm, still girlie looking (as opposed to digging in Josh's shirt drawer), crewe neck, wintertime shirt! Why is that so difficult to come by? The only choices I've found are large, shapeless and unflattering, or have a neckline heavily depending on my scarves being ultra warm.
So, I guess I haven't mentioned that Josh's schedule is changing in two weeks. Unless you are Rosemary and have taiko in the evenings, it's really not so bad. Josh would make breakfast for the kids, and put them on the bus, but would be gone in the evenings. They would have to give up watching Star Wars while Abbie and I are at dance, because Josh would be gone, and Grant would be coming with me. The unconfirmed upside would be Josh having weekends off. Well, we'll see if it happens, first. There are lots of "if"s and "hopefully"s involved, but the suggested plan is that a few weeks after he has changed schedules, Josh will become the Lead for that shift. Then, next time a Lt. job opens up, they can give it to Josh, and all looks correct on paper. I've said it before, but.....we'll see.
So, right before Christmas, let's assign Rosemary for Jury Duty, at the same time that we take Josh's "at home during business hours" schedule away, causing Rosemary to wonder who on Earth can watch Abbie while she is off dispensing justice? Not to mention someone to watch her kids while she goes off to play taiko. Is this starting to sound familiar to anyone else? Geh.
But if that's the worst news I've got, it's not such a bad year, eh? And the soup helped my sore throat very much.
I think I'm going to have to find a new source for news. Surely there is something more important than What Holiday Specials Say About You going on today. Besides, I read it and it was stooooooooopid.
I wonder if I will get a fancy surprise package in the mail today. I don't have a magic 8 ball, but I'm guessing that if I did, it would be saying, "Don't count on it."
I'm so happy that it's a sunshiny day! Because 20 degrees is just so depressing when it's overcast. :P
