1. What are your favorite ways to relax and unwind? Reading. Definitely Reading. Taking a bath is good too.

3. What are your favorite aromatherapeutic smells? Vanilla

4. Do you feel more relaxed with a group of friends or hanging out by yourself? Depends I guess.

5. What is something that you feel is relaxing but most people don’t? I don’t know. I guess I am pretty normal or something. Really.

Cleaning & Stuff

By · Leave a Comment

The futon of Death is now clean!!!!!!!!

ish

I woke up yesterday with a proverbial bee in my bonnet and started tackling this mountain of newspapers and books and clothes. When Edmund woke up, I got him to help.

Then we went to do laundry.

Needless to say we have not done much today.

Ickness Sickness

By · Leave a Comment

Edmund and I have been very sick this week.

Edmund more than me.

Feeling better now, but dry. Took some Sudafed-type-derrivative earlier, and some ibuprophren.

I can’t spell and I am too lazy to look things up.

No matter.

BTW, this is awesome, the word of the day today is:

cock-a-hoop \kah-kuh-HOOP\ adjective

*1 : triumphantly boastful : exulting

2 : awry

Example sentence:

Team members, still cock-a-hoop over last week’s victory, need to regain their focus and win one more game for the championship.

Did you know?

The adjective “cock-a-hoop” comes from a curious 16th- and 17th-century expression, “to set cock a hoop,” which meant “to be festive” or “to drink or celebrate without restraint.” Etymologists, however, are not entirely certain about the origin of that old expression. Although no one knows if it originally had any connection with the “rooster” sense of “cock,” many people thought it did — and this perceived association influenced the current meaning of “cock-a-hoop.” The cock is known for its triumphant crow, and “cock-a-hoop” is now used to refer to something triumphantly boastful.

Getting Stuff Done

By · Leave a Comment

Yeah! I am feeling very productive here, working on my one-woman show. Have decided I am going to try to perform it at Rites of Spring this year.

Edmund is yelling at the tv. Something about war and bush.

Not the good kind.

He just took a break and gave me a kiss. Now he is flabbergasted again and talking to the tv again.

So tired

By · Leave a Comment

Saw Secret Window tonite. Very disapointed.

Why did they change THE PLOT? (Secret Window was based on a Stephen King Novella).

Edmund HATED it. So much we had a bit of a disagreement.

All is better now.

Saw American Idol when we got home, Jennifer Hudson & George Huff & Fantasia are the best! & I am jealous that I cannot be on Idol.

Freakin’ Cold

What is up, I thought it was April. Spring. Or something!

Gah!

The super FINALLY turned on the heat, after our second call. But still has not warmed up in here yet.

If you live in a warm place, I hate you.

Really.
