Dear Diary . . .
First, to all of my buddies...I do try to leave comments, but with my connection it's hit or miss. Especially if you have D-land comments, because having so many steps to go through means more chances to miss the connection and lose my comment.
I will give it a few goes before I give up; I figure if I can't leave a comment, maybe whatever I had to say was better left unsaid. But I just want to go on record as letting you know that I try!
On another subject, I've been thinking about re-opening my WildRosie account with a password so my new reads can go back and read my old entries. You know, the really hot ones when I was still with Kaj and I was writing pornographic entries. Let me know if you'd be interested in the password, and I will e-mail it to you.
I did have a wonderful Thanksgiving, the food was great, I talked to both of my kids and Josh, and I spent the afternoon with my best friend. What more could you ask for? Besides three days worth of turkey and cranberry sandwiches, that is!!
I even sent turkey home with Kaj, and STILL had turkey for breakfast, lunch and dinner for the last three days! I just ate the last bit of turkey, the stuffing went earlier, as did the yams, but I have plenty of green bean casserole left.
I noticed something though, and this may be TMI, but I had been eating pretty sparingly recently, and therefore my visits to the "library" were likewise infrequent. Well, amazingly, I just started Pride and Prejudice on Thursday and I finished it today, only reading it while in the "library". Could there be a connection?
I also had a sweet tooth last night, so I made a double batch of chocolate/butterscotch chip cookies which my roomies and I have been scarfing up at regular intervals. (Note to BoXx: Any mention of calories/fat/sugar content will cause me to be very unhappy. Calories don't exist this week, nor do they exist for the ensuing 4 weeks!)
Sooooo...have you ever been in the position where money is really, really tight, like, you'd give anything just for a five, and then it's like everybody in the universe says, "Hey! Let's give Rosie some money today!"? This weekend has been like that. Oh, not that it's been unexpected money or anything, well maybe some of it was unexpected, but it just all comes on the same day! I do like it when that happens.
Just FYI, I just noticed that Fredericks of Hollywood has their bras on sale right now! Instead of $32 for one bra, you can get two for $39, with free shipping! Whoo Hoo! There is nothing like new, sexy underthings to make a girl feel special! For anyone who has been under a black cloud recently, I highly suggest this form of retail therapy.
Finally, Miss Hiss sent me a lovely list of her favorite songs, and I was pleased to note that she and I shared some favorites, like Warren Zevon's "Accidentally Like a Martyr" and Kathy Mattea's "Where Have You Been?". But it's been difficult trying to get my connection to cooperate, so I've had to go hit and miss and so far I've only been able to watch about 75% of them.
But there is one of them that absolutely has me in its thrall. It isn't a happy song...far from it. In fact, it affects me so deeply that I don't want to discuss it or dissect it...I just want to let it grab me and pull me into the video as if I were there watching silently.
Here's Paul Kelly's "If I Could Start Today Again".
