This morning those damn kids...didn't wake me at all!
I woke up at 9.30a because I had to go to the bathroom, and thought that it had to be 7a since it was silent as the grave upstairs. I can only assume that Fran stapled them to the wall.
Yesterday I wore my tour shirt from "Down For the Mountain" and realized just exactly how damned ugly it is! I spent $35 on a long-sleeved striped jailhouse shirt that is completely the ugliest thing imaginable.
Which is, of course, fun, but it was also weirdly huge. It was an XL, it should have fit, but I realized that it must have been in men's XL, since the arms are freakishly long and go halfway down my palms, and short, stubby arms I do not have.
Do men have such long arms? Perhaps it was in orangutan's XL.
Here's something that I wrote yesterday, which proves exactly the obsessive-compulsive nature of how I figure out my WW points:
"I am banking points (not eating all of my points on a given day and saving them for a future big meal) for McDonald's breakfast and am trying to figure out whether I want to get up early enough to go get it in the city, because it's better there, the sausage is sort of wet in my McDonald's.
"But how obsessive is that, to get up early so that I can go into the city to get breakfast? Not to mention spending $3.50 to get there and back. Ridiculous. But if having this breakfast is such an ordeal, I can only manage it once in a while, shouldn't I have the best version of it that I can? Maybe I should just wait until Monday and then I'll be coming into the city anyway.
"I do not want to wait until Monday, I want it on Saturday!! Besides, if I wait, maybe I'll blow my saved points otherwise and I won't get to have it after all. Is there a movie playing early enough to justify my going into the city before 11a on a Saturday, when I haven't had enough sleep for several days in a row? And what if I have to get up on Sunday, then I won't get to sleep in either day!
"I've got it. I'm going to the matinee at LCP of All's Well That Ends Well on Sunday and that's at 1p, so I'll go in early and get breakfast and I'll only have an hour and a half or so to kill before I have to go to the theatre. Much better than getting up twice, but o my, I would like to have it now now now. But I will wait.
"Man, that will be the best sausage biscuit in the world when I finally get it down my neck."
The oldies station that I listen to, 101.1 WCBS FM, has this thing called the Brown Bag, which is five songs on a theme chosen by a listener, and sometimes they are very clever. Yesterday, it was a Superbowl Brown Bag, and it was hilarious. The songs were:
It's All in the Game-Tommy Edwards
Backfield in Motion-Mel and Tim
Kicks Just Keep Getting Harder to Find-Paul Revere & The Raiders
We Are the Champions-Queen
Blue Monday-Fats Domino
Today's
horoscope:
You focus on all the little details tonight which can be helpful in setting the scene for love, but don't let it interfere with the flow!
One year ago today:
It was less 'the show must go on' than 'the show is going on whether you're up for it or not'.
