I wanted to today. Really, really wanted to after the way my day started.
Woke up reasonably happy, wandered into my living room and took a peek outside to assess the snow situation. It looked really clear...too clear. There wasn't a car on the block - including my own. I threw on my boots and a fleece over my pjs and ran outside to read the parking sign. The sign clearly stated when cars had to be off the block for snow emergencies...but it hadn't snowed last night??!? and I didn't hear the siren. How was that an emergency?? Called the local towing agency and they said, "You're on Central? Yeah we have your car." I didn't even tell them what kind of car I had, bastards. I took a ride with a very sympathetic cabbie and met up with several other half pajamed neighbors at the tow lot. I quickly learned that 100 cars were towed that night all from my street and that no one heard the siren. "Have a better day," the tow-lot manager called out as I left. I chuckled at that - cuz if was funny and hopeful of him. I was all pumped up by my new we-hate-the-city-fat-cat friends to fight the system and 'the man' (or in our case the woman) and get back the money I had to shell out to free my car.
But then the rest of my day started.
And it wasn't terrible, but it was weird and I can't go into it really, but it may have involved some dramatic malingering And I drove home thinking - "I'd like to spend my day around less weird negativity." So I'm working on it. but first I went to Whole Foods and bought impulsive treats like yummy body lotion and a magazine and beer and a natural goodness cookie. Sometimes sugar IS my friend, despite all that crazy-talk you may have read here a few weeks ago. And when I got home there was chili waiting at my back door (I *heart* MollyP) and I thought, "Now I can crawl back under my covers.
Before I do, I would like to share a little holiday peek inside my home. I'm not a big holiday decorator b/c ...well I don't know why. But this weekend I helped both my sister and Molly decorate their cozy homes and it seemed really nice. So I came home and tried a little bit of it myself.
are you wondering what those little cone things are? Here's a closer look...
They're softie xmas trees and I made 'em! This lady thunk up the idea and I was not afraid to use it.
Alright - off to bedness and sweet dreamness.
