Ramblings

I have writer's block or something. Every time I sit here to write about something fabulous, witty, or entertaining, I am stalled. I sit and stare. My mind is blank.

Like now! My fingers want to get busy on they keys and yet, they're barely tapping out a tune. Hardly even enough movement to clack clack properly.

Every one's dying to know what's new and exciting with me. Let me think, I know there's something. Yes! No, wait. Oh, here! No. Blank.

I did read five books this past week. They ranged from fluff - a story about an octogenarian who busted a jewel theft ring, to a novel about identity theft , to a story of mystery, intrigue and murder about an ex Special Forces guy filled with evil, Killer Instinct. Excellent book by Joseph Finder.

Finder has a style a lot like John Grisham, but deeper. Very easy to get caught up in the action and never put the book down for six hours.

Let's see. *tapping my index finger on my lips* I also watched a couple of movies on DVD. Mama Mia! was colorful and entertaining with it's songlist from the band, Abba. I watched it with subtitles for the songs so I could sing to them.

"...you can dance, you can jive - having the time of your life....oh oh oh , see that girl, watch that scene, diggin' the dancing queen...."

The other movie was awful. It starred Catherine Zeta-whatshername, and George Clooney. It was so boring that I was asleep within 25 minutes. So much for that!

It rained all day and was cold, so I stayed inside. Did not take my walk.

And I am deprived - having given up chocolate for Lent - my brain KNOWS there are two snack size Milky Way bars in the freezer waiting for Sunday when I get a reprieve from my Lenten obligation. Oh I can hardly wait! Do I eat one for breakfast or wait and savor it during my favorite Sunday night television show, The Amazing Race?

What to do - what to do....

In case you're wondering, on days like this, if I get dressed. Well, sure I do! I even took a nice, hot bath. It's my favorite place to take a nap, in fact.

Also, in the event you're theorizing that I just sit around and watch movies, read books and take hot baths....there's more to my part-time job lifestyle! In fact, yesterday I took all of the cups and saucers down from their shelves. I dusted the shelves, washed and dried the cups then reinstated them to their regal positions. The cups and saucers were my Grandma Dolores'. I don't know how I ended up with them, but I'm happy to say I did! The top of my refigerator, although I couldn't see it, required attention as well. I took all of my teapots down, washed them, cleaned off the top of the 'fridge, and put them back.

So you see? It's not just fun and games for me! I do other things!
