That would be the sound my teeth would make if I went outside right now - especially with my hair wet, as it is right now.

I woke up this morning and for the first time in about a month, my cat wasn't in the bed with me. She had left me for warmer climes: the floor next to the oil heater. I felt just a little abandoned, but I did appreciate the freedom of movement.

I'm stuck at home, waiting for the repairman to show up. I have an appointment for the replacement of a couple of parts to my hot water heater which, strangely, has been behaving since Monday, although judging by my water bill was misbehaving over most of my vacation. By "appointment", of course, I mean "sometime between noon and 5". How convenient.

Oh well. I'll suck it up and sit here. I'll even be good and read these papers on Pseudomonas aureofaciens and Burkholderia cepacia whose pdfs have been sitting patiently on my desktop for days. If I'm REALLY good, which I don't think I am, I'll even incorporate them into the background of my growing paper.

My whopping, beautiful, whale of a paper that will be a gem in the crown of my PhD thesis. The thesis that will not be filled with fragment sentences like these.

*smirk*

First things first, though:
My cold feetsies need socks
My face needs some moisturizer
My tummy needs food!
Coffee - coffee would be nice
I think I'll build a fire (in the fireplace, of course)

Anybody think I'm procrastinating yet?

One last thought - Cuddle duds are one of the BEST clothing inventions EVER!

Wouldn't it be nice if there was someplace that had Southern winters and Northern summers! I just looked at your weekend weather, I guess you were COLD. I thought we were cold but we did have a high of 38 over the weekend. This time of year we tend to sing "We're having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave." It is an OLD song and of course we are being facetious! Fixed chili and tamales, lit a fire in the fireplace, Phil rented a couple movies. The best part is Dingo curled up next to me on the sofa, Lizard was on Phil's lap, both great heat geerators. Sweetie Pie and Bart Bart periodically came downstairs - (yes, heat does rise)to get a bite, check out what was going on and then retreat back to our bed to curl up together. Stay warm!

I like you because:

a) I agree with your reply in the Bloomington community--I am getting OUT of here as soon as I'm done with my degree
b) You said "feetsies"

Wanna be friends?

Make new friends, but keep the oh-old. . .

Do you know the next line?

If you do, we can be friends :-)

No really, we can be friends. Consider yourself added to my list, zoltara. So. Do you know the next line?

I *do* know the next line! I was a girl scout--how about you?

Make new friends, but keep the oh-old
One is silver and the other's gold!

Quite frankly, I was always confused as to which one is which...but I think I've got it figured out now.

Yay! I have a new friend!
