tuesday's musings

urgh i am getting so S.I.C.K. of Oprah and Dr Phil going on about what we shouldn't be spending our money on! it is so annoying, like the CEO of Lays telling us we can't have ANY chips whatsoever (or something.... ok i am AWFUL with analogies but it's relevant to right now :) the show with the snooty woman who got free carrots really pushed me over the edge... i don't want free damned carrots, i want a week in a beach house. and i don't want my tv set telling me NO!

oh and Dr Phil's theme song still totally sucks, even after a month of FFing through it and hearing just a snippet of it. it is christian-whiny-white-guy-with-a-soulpatch-music BAD.

i am all out of salt and vinegar stax. and it's a bad place to be.

today i did a really stupid thing. i went on a 5 mile walk and only budgeted one hour for it (i had to arrive at the finishing point, Sam's school by 1pm and didn't leave till 11:56am but melissa it was so good talking to you!) walking 5 miles an hour, with a really messed-up unbendable knee, in 85 degree heat, all the while picturing your poor, sad child feeling forgotten by the school gates is NOT a good feeling. no siree bob! i got home a puddle of anxiety and sweat and ate an entire bunch of grapes and a gallon of water while watching desperate housewives but not really watching it because this season kind of sucks.

i hate the curtains. i don't know why since they are nice and all... but they are so lame, they just hang there. sigh... i need nate berkus to save me from decorating hell.
