Monday Erratica

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!
