In the interest of full disclosure.

Today:

I am not wearing socks (I forgot)
I am wearing my hair up, and my bangs pinned back (It was that kind of day)
I am wearing a shirt C gave me, with a scarf B and B gave me, which makes me happy
I had oatmeal for breakfast (cinnamon roll kind)
I listened to Third Eye Blind and Graham Colton on the way to work
I laughed hysterically because I made E spill all over himself on the ride to P
(how many people will you tell? he said. I won’t, I said. except for everyone who reads my blog, I thought…)
I am going to drink lots of water and lots of tea
I will be planning an event, and debriefing from one yesterday
I will answer the phone approximately 20 times
(and only 1 or 2 of the calls will actually be for me)

Today I also:

will play Scrabble. will see M. will smile.
will watch Glee. and maybe Raising Hope.
will work on my spreadsheet for Thanksgiving, and maybe N and J’s wedding
will read at least one news article about a celebrity, and one about the midterm elections.
will probably check facebook for sanity’s sake.
will probably hear a five year old say, “last one’s a rotten egg”
will go to yoga. will love it. will think about how I need a new mat, probably when T says, “Think of nothing.”

Must of been love (could've been fate…)

Here comes fall. Here goes nothing. Here comes nights darkened by five, evenings of tea, book club, crafts, laughter, love. Here comes yoga, brisk walks home, smiles at work, a season full of hope. Here comes soccer, children running, trying to keep warm, here in this 55 degree weather, these cali-babies can’t handle it. Here comes squash, Thanksgiving, truly being thankful for this LA family and LA life. Here comes pumpkin carving, a new tradition. Here comes face paint. Here goes nothing. Here comes you, and me, spending time there, and here, and all over. Here comes new restaurants in LA. Here comes date nights. Here comes wool socks. Here comes try number three, turkey number three. Here comes another tree. A second Christmas at our first apartment. Here’s to our home. Here comes Camp Waterloo, Christmas cookies, New Year’s with my sister and her fiance and those Chicago friends I’ve missed.

Here goes nothing. 2010, I know we’re not through, just yet…



Catching up on Parenthood…

Today I was out of work, due to illness. I drank a lot of tea. I drank a lot of water. I caught up on sleep. I wore my glasses. I ate leftover Indian food. I ate pumpkin soup (which I must say, was too sweet, in my opinion.)

I caught up on Parenthood.

Which, I love. I snuggled with my snuggie.

It was a good sick day, despite feeling like my head was maybe going to shoot off. (And, it didn’t actually shoot off, as it turns off.)

What do you people do on your sick days?
