Stuff and Nonsense

-Today is the first day of Lent and, thus far, I have denied myself a Three Musketeers bar, a pecan brownie from Starbucks, a six-pack of puffy frosted sugar cookies, a bag of chocolate-covered cinnamon bears (Ah. Mah. Gawwwwd, they are the best), a chocolate-chip muffin and an IV bag of liquid chocolate on a slow drip.

-My willpower is admirable.

-Ok, the IV bag was going too far as I’m not a fan of needles.

-Although, ask me again in 39 days; intravenous chocolate might not seem quite so absurd at that point.

-Hugh left for Denver today to referee at the State wrestling tournament. The children and I are on our own which means we are eating leftovers from Tupperware containers; on the couch.

-Don’t tell Hugh, he would have a minor conniption fit over food in the living room (buzzkill!)

- I finally got around to watching The Time Traveler’s Wife on DVD.

-Am now rereading the book in an effort to erase the craptastic images of the movie from my head. Not quite certain I can ever repair the damage but, I’m trying.

-Just saw a teaser for the new season of Glee. Peed my pants just a little; I blame the excitement. And, childbirth.

-Am going to bed early tonight to avoid the kitchen from which the last of the Girl Scout Thin Mints are calling my name.

-Am predicting a loooong 40 days and nights.

-Which was also a craptastic movie, by the way.
