Snow Day

By
Today is the first big snow of the season.  It is February 4.

Beautiful prairie snowfall
If you live in a more tepid climate, this may not seem that strange to you.  However, where I live (born and raised!) we usually have had a number of snow storms by this point in winter.  Somehow though, we have nigh eluded the bitterness this year with temperatures spiking to above the 60-degree mark on more than one occasion IN JANUARY!  It has been glorious.

Yet, despite my distaste for the cold, I do love a good snowfall when I can spend the day indoors if I so choose (and I do).  Giant flakes drift slowly from the clouds, reflecting my own laziness this afternoon.  Having slept in until 7:45, I awoke for a brekkie of oatmeal with strawberries and to watch several episodes of Looney Toons from the warmth of my bed.  Naturally, all this activity wore me out and I succumbed to a mid-morning nap.  I oozed out of my room around 10:30 and made my way to the couch where I have been ever since.  I did move once for lunch though (that Habibi prepared, of course) around 12.  You may not judge me for wearing the same "clothes" as yesterday.  In fact, you may shut up because I am still sick and therefore to be pitied.  I do what I want.
The embodiment of laziness:  A cat in a heated bed

It's really going to be hard for me to get back into running after two straight days of lethargy.  I want donuts.

Navigating Summer, School, and COVID-19

By
Guys, it has been awhile.  What can I say?  I just haven't been feeling inspired.  I know, I know...  It doesn't take a rocket scientist to discover that I am almost never  inspired; you can find evidence of this conclusion by reading any one of my past posts.  Seriously, just pick one.  But really, it has been busy around here.  Since March, we have been homeschooling both kids.  Part of this was mandated, of course, when everything shut down earlier this year.  However, since we were having growing success with taking charge of our kids' education this spring, we decided to run with it and continued with certain elements of school through the summer.  We will be full on homeschooling for the coming year because our public education system has turned into an absolute cluster.  This is going to be such a throwaway year anyway, so yeah.  We're "those people" now.   Who knows?  Maybe this year, my daughter has...

Brain Barf #4: Senior Citizens, Italian-Americans, Dreamboats, and Tap Shoes

By
My neighbor sent me this last night: In five years, J.Lo will be getting discounts at restaurants and movie theaters because she will be considered a senior citizen.  And she will still look like that.   YOU GUYS I SAID J.LO IS ALMOST A SENIOR CITIZEN.  SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE YOU'RE NOT EVEN LISTENING. Meanwhile, I look more and more like this every day: My friend MoMo was invited to play pool with a friend of hers today.  She told me about it, which is free license for me to post it here. MoMo (and her friend): Anouchka: In her friend's defense, he has only been in the U.S. for about 18 months and apparently thought that an "Italian-American" would be a rare and exotic treat. I'm been pestering Habibi lately to spoil me and praise me and tell me I'm a rare and divine treasure more often, but it hasn't been working.  I'll send him text messages periodically, featuring my face,  looking putrid fr...
