sentenced

I'm thinking at this point I can go ahead and travel to another continent, since MY FEAR OF CRASHING INTO WATER IN A PLANE HAS BEEN REALIZED IN WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A TOTALLY LAND-LOCKED SITUATION.

We've almost received all of the Christmas mix CDs at our house, and I'm anxiously awaiting the last couple so that I can write my MIX CD REVIEW.

I had a bowl of Lucky Charms and a glass of blueberry-pomegranate juice for breakfast, knowing that the juice was 100% apple and was only "flavored" with blueberry and pomegranate juice, but I still felt "healthy" because it seemed less toxic than my usual coffee.

And then I went and got a cup of coffee to reward myself.

My tasks for the afternoon are: calling to get an appt with a doctor to set up primary care, calling to set up our EVENING OUT plans with our friends, and calling to get enrolled in a yoga class beginning in March.

I HATE making phone calls, and this antisocial behavior has no doubt prevented many opportunities/stifled many budding friendships.

Today's outing with Kiddokabiddo will probably be to Hobby Lobby, to buy a wool shaver so I can keep her vast collection of wool pants (these were only two of the seven pairs) looking smart, and a flexible measuring tape, so when I buy more wool pants, I can make sure I have her EXACT MEASUREMENTS in hand.

I truly can't believe this is the last weekend with G.W. in office (there were times when I would not have believed you if you had told me I would give birth during a Bush presidency because I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE OVER BY 04 AT THE LATEST IF HE WASN'T IMPEACHED EARLIER), and it semi-disgusts me that I will always have to announce that "my daughter was born during a Bush presidency," but at least she will grow into a child under a Democratic president.

I will be watching the final two episodes of Rome by myself this afternoon, since Vee got upset when I told him I didn't like watching TV with him (he was noodling around on his guitar and asking non-related questions during the auditions of "American Idol." Doesn't he know that I am only interested in ONE THING AI-RELATED: THE AUDITIONS?).
