Stardate, 2/9/11. Still no weight loss on the frozen planet of Sturbridge. Hunger is endangering indigenous population. Productivity low. Walked three miles today in an attempt to boost metabolism. Had bowl of soup and raisins for lunch. Consumption patterns becoming strange. Still angry that mailman stole my cheese.
I have to stop writing like Captain Kirk from Star Trek to explain that last one. On Friday Mdme. L went to Plymouth with our parents to buy an outfit for the wedding (I know -- that's a long way to go, but there's a very nice boutique there. . . ). Her nefarious plan was to drop some cheese at my house, so I would be able to make pizza later. I would then feed the pizza to our combined pool of children. According to MY MOTHER, they placed the cheese in the mailbox. When I returned home and checked, however, THERE WAS NO CHEESE. Now I know that people are not supposed to put stuff in mailboxes, other than mail, and MY MOTHER has actually gotten in trouble with "The Man" for doing this in the past. Also, my flag was up because we were returning a movie to Netflix. I think the mailman took the movie. . . and the cheese.
I drove by him the next day, and he presented a bland, blameless countenance, but I could smell the guilt on him.
Of course, MY HUSBAND was glad that the cheese escaped us, because he doesn't believe cheddar has any place on pizza. My little RAVIOLI thinks it's "wrong." You can't please all of the people all of the time, especially if you regularly include certain people in "all of the people."
We are trying to be better about returning Netflix movies. We had "The Wrestler" for two years.
For some reason the rest of last night's post got cut off. I went on to explain that we literally had "The Wrestler" for two years, because I did not really want to watch it, and MY HUSBAND thought I would eventually come around, because it is supposed to be a really good, depressing movie. I insist that my entertainment be happy-snappy, however, so it never happened.
ReplyDeleteBig doings around here, (mousse to make, a house to clean, a grandmother to collect, children to shuffle off) so I will update you again later!
