rainy days and mondays

loving
a mailbox CRAMMED with pretty presents.  yes yes yes, all sent by me to me but still.  i love brown paper packages (not tied up with string... grr.  did i ever mention how i like to tie up brown paper packages with string and one day the man at the post office gave me - and half of pville - a lecture about how they jam up his machines and then he defiantly snipped off the pretty string!  but... what about the song....?  raindrops on roses....?  whiskers on kittens... would he snip those off too?? waaaaaaaa!!!!  i want to move to Austria)

loving
that it's SPRING!!  and it's rainy and cool and pretty and buddy and blissful everywhere.  i love the "begin again" part of here.  heck, anywhere BUT California (which never begins again... it just stays the same)  we have like TWO HUNDRED little flowers waiting to bloom in our garden and i'm not touching them!!  Mother Nature: they're all yours!!!  please don't screw it up!

loving 
that that pediatrician in the nice Victorian house totally understood my not missing Cali.... that 6500 straight days of 78 degree (at best... at worst 104 degrees), constantly blue skies would get old reaaaally fast.

loving
Scott and Bailey.  but hating - HATING - that i've watched them all (at least once;)  MAKE MORE!!!! I love Gill's character.  like.... i reeeeaaallly LOVE Gill in that show.  she uses 'cock' as a term of endearment (it means 'dear' in Mcr) and that makes me a) wicked homesick and b) giggle :)

loving
that i get to go back to the gym this am.  it's been 10 days.  and i NEVER thought i would miss it.  but i do miss George Michael playlists and scathing documentaries about bad moms.  and Kelly Ripa.  she makes me laugh (and she's adorable.  could i EVER be that thin?  like 6 year old girl thin?  (with the buffest arms EVER - she's the ONLY reason i endure the awful weight area full of reeeeaaally strong people lifting 170 pounds instead of my 15....) and be able wear the 6 year old girl clothes at Target??  because they're waaaaay cuter than the lady clothes..... way cuter.  the raincoat with little umbrellas on it... NOT FAIR!)

hating
how absolutely NUTS our dogs get about squirrels.  they are currently skidding around the dining room at 100 mph (the poor oak floors.... oi) barking like maniacs at two ballsy little squirrels who are sitting outside the glass doors eating birdseed.  those squirrels are so bad!  but so cute!!!


back later. maybe.
