it is pretty late for me today, as I try to get this blog in before the sun is up, (I got caught with my pants down, so to speak today)
The sun is up. ( said like Darth Vador)
oh my I can still hear the echoes
well first off it is again very cold up here.......now I may have the blubber of a walrus but damn, it gets really really cold too....... I wonder what the walrus' secret is?
I mean they are as fat as I am, yet they lay around all day on ICE.......how the hell do they do that?
I can't even walk outside in my long purple goosedown coat, which when seen had SOMEONE refer to me as the Michelin man's illegitimate love child. Ok so horizontal goose down baffles are not exactly my best look....... hello? did I mention it was COLD again.
ok where was I, walrus'? no............... coats? ........ past that....
ok to town, I have to go to town.
DAMN
Actually the first part is the fun part........the POST OFFICE..... ok that may not be fun if all I find are bills there..... but if my (hushed voice now) books............. woo hoo......I will be soooooo happy and rush through today's work schedule like a roaring tiger.
Meanwhile I want you to all know I have coffee hahaha although it is the beginning of the first cup.
And yesterdays trip to town was sponsored by the LAPERMS........ That's right, Thaddeaus and Calpurrnia got together and informed me that they were out of kibble. And if I did not rectify this situation...... they would revolt. While Calpurrnia doesn't have enough smarts to actually think a revolt through, she would be playing with a leaf and singing in the corner......La la la....
Thaddeaus..... Unfortunately does have the smarts, if not the opposable thumbs. It is the BOY cat strangely that you have to watch out for.....I do solemnly swear that he really is smart enough to plot the over turn of the universe...... with him as the head. Fortunately his Achilles tendon is his stomach.....offer him food.......he is putty in your hands at least until the food runs out.
So now you all see why I had to brave the snow, and wind, and ice, and COLD ( I did say it was cold right? I mean really really really REALLY cold.......can't emphasis that enough)
Today with any luck it will be pure pleasure to brave Mother Nature and get my books.....
I swear that people like me should be given open passes to the library of congress...... I would never see the light of day. Eventually my pasty white blobby body would be found deep in the medieval history section..... having discovered a book with obscure references to medieval women, blinking because my eyes can not adjust to the light of day.... with a pile of coffee cups next to me and an empty pop tart box, the contents of which I will have eaten without noticing while I was trying to decipher the middle English....
ok back to reality......... over the river and through the woods to town I go.....
now if you all REALLY don't hear from me for a week........
I got that Starmore book and am knitting like a woman possessed.
til next time
vi
ps: I have been promised more goatie pictures....... when I get them you all will be the first to know
