1. A guy came over to give an estimate on putting new siding on our house and when he discovered that I was the person he would be dealing with (and not my husband) he was very condescending. Also, another siding outfit sent an email asking it you "both" will be there. What's the deal? Are spouses ordering siding unbeknownst to their s.o.'s and wreaking havoc for siding companies everywhere? Siding, it's just so damn titillating! How could a girl help herself? I should have just told him, "My husband doesn't deal with tradesman. In fact, we're considering a sister-wife or brother-husband who excels at dealing with tradesfolk and paying the bills on time. Know anyone?" Also, if you know anyone who is good with constant meowing (cats) and whining (kid), and has a kid that is five or older, have them give me a call. We don't have cable or a big TV, but would consider both for the right person.
2. I'm doing exercises to strengthen my back, but man it just hurts more. Also, I went to the gym today and got zero energy boost from my work out. I felt so cheated. Where is my boost? I want my half-an-hour back.
3. Hosted a knitting bee at my house. Some fun girls came over and we had a good time. Maybe this will make me more relaxed about having people over. But good luck, I doubt it.
4. All I really want out of life is a nap. Either I have everything in the world (just about) or I'm depressed or I have shit in my blood (thanks for that one, grandma). I think it's a mixture of the first two.
5. Thinking about going to NYC with Comet for part of spring break, but see above. Hmm, maybe Gameguy could take Comet to NYC (or anywhere) and I can sleep for three days. Or, I could go to NYC myself and sleep for three days. Life is full of such hard choices.
6. We have giant frogs in our pond, and at least eight fish have survived the winter. I am going to have to talk to the frogs about all of that loud singing at night, though. It's noisier out here in the country than it was in town!
7. Spring has sprung!

Monday Erratica
I'm baaaack! The snow nearly did me in. Seriously. Very, very seriously.
Now for the list o' stuff:
1. We bought a new-to-us 2006 minivan named "Pearl" and are now embroiled in the process of deciding whether or not to return "her" because 2006 was a bad year for pick-up (technical term "oomph") in Sienna minivans.
2. And speaking of a lack of oomph, I am quite energy-free. I look at the squalor of my home and move my head back and forth like a dog contemplating something perplexing. I begin to think that a reverse vampire has been visiting me in the night and infusing me with the blood of Keith Richards (which KR doesn't need as he is being infused with the blood of virgins). My grandmother would have said, "You got shit in your blood." Nice. See also, winter doldrums. Anyone have a (legal) recipe for a Spring tonic?
3. I'm thinking of getting a vanity plate: MUFNTOP. It's all that.
4. I'm thinking of starting a new movement called the Middle Aged Rebellion. In this movement, people who consider themselves middle aged would tell any person or agency who was trying to sell us "youth" to nip it and tuck it up their butts. I've got friends who are so worried about their wrinkles that they're giving themselves more wrinkles!
5. I'm thinking, "less thinking, more doing."
6. The local 2010 board game convention is over and done. A good time was had by Gameguy. He especially loves the game auction and I must say, he outdid himself. Not only did he get some new games for himself, but in a bold and truly uncharacteristic move, he bought Comet a box of 400+ tiny gaming figures. Usually I buy the crap proclaiming "OVER 200 PIECES" on the box. This time, it wasn't me. There are orcs, skeletons, robots, guys with blow guns, guys that are part creature/part crossbow, and golems (golem?) to name a few. A cast of hundreds. And did I forget to mention the booby women? Barely clad and nearly unarmed (unless wings are considered weapons), these girls and their girls are representin' in Mage Quest/War/Domination/whatever. I think I will sneak them away. I can tell Comet there was a fairy convention or breast health seminar or something. Comet hasn't particularly noticed the "B-Girls" and he totally loves his new game.
I also participated in the game convention. Twice. Illegally, come to think of it, as I wasn't a paying participant. I enjoyed playing Bohnanza, but the other game, which involved quests was like a purgatory designed just for me.
That's all I got.
