A whine and a challenge

Usually I wake up empowered on Monday mornings.

Ready to tackle the messes made over the weekend...
organize my week...
catch up on blogs...

This morning, however, I was totally caught off guard by my period.
(Sorry, male readers.)

So I'm staying in my jammies.

And drinking coffee.

And maybe, I'll fold some clothes later.

But for now, I'm tired.

Some months it just hits me harder than others, and I feel like I've been hit by a Mack truck.

Back to bed sounds like a great option.

And I've got some great European chocolate...

Thank goodness I don't have to be anywhere today.


I just had a silly idea.
Tell me your best joke today.

I'll start:

What did the duck say when he went into the drugstore?
*

"Give me some chapstick and put it on my bill."

Okay, friends.
Make me laugh.

    What is this, National Start Your Period Day?

    Here is a joke my son told me at dinner tonight.

    Why should you never take your clothes off in front of Pokemon?

    Because they might Pikachu!

    UGH!

    Here (sad to say) is the best joke I know.

    Why do cherry trees smell?

    Because George Washington cut one!

    I have been around my kids for too long.

    Karla - both of your jokes made me laugh out loud.

    Apparently I've been around my kids too long, too!

    Okay, this joke so involves hand gestures, though.
    A horse walks into a bar and the bartender says, "Why the long face?"
    Get it? The horse has a long face. Cracks me up EVERY time. Hope you're feeling better since this was written.

Are you ready for this?

How did it get to be Wednesday? Seriously. There aren't enough hours in the day - even when you're up at 2:00 am. And no - I didn't get up at 2:00 this morning. I slept all the way until 5:00! Anywho - I decided I needed something new to blog. Something to shake you all out of your 'thoughts from the deep recesses' stupor. Something to get your blood pumping and your fingers tingling. Something to inspire long and meaningful comments. From you. My beloved readers. It's a new weekly Thoughts From the Deep Recesses feature. It's "Getting to Know you Wednesday" Now this could either be lots of fun, or it could just totally flop, and I could go to bed crying because my blog readers are a bunch of takers who only come here to read and never interact. Like a piece of fresh fruit, you squeeze the juice out of my hard-written and well thought out posts and then you toss them aside, wandering on to the next blog with a simple click of your mouse. You read ...

Good morning, peeps. It's Friday. There's frost outside this morning. *FROST!* This week has been ridiculously chilly. I'm having mixed feelings about blogging lately. Mostly because I feel like all I've been doing is whine about being tired. Or overwhelmed. And because comments are lacking. And because I can't seem to think about anything to write about except Tejan. And because some of the thoughts I'm having are too private for the blog - or too repetitive. Or too unformed to turn into actual words you all could understand. So I'm struggling a bit. And yet, I'm committed to documenting the process I'm in. So I'll keep writing when the words come. And when they don't, like this morning, when I looked at that intimidating blinking cursor and my mind went blank and I started to break out in a cold sweat and began by talking about the weather... well, then, I'll just gracefully (or not so gracefully) back out of the room... tail between m...

It came out of the faucet that way.

It's been months since I've had a "Getting to Know You Wednesday." Life's been a little crazy. So today, when life is a little bit calm and I've got the least chaotic week I've had for ages, I thought I'd jump back in. So today, if you leave me a comment telling me your most favorite-ist movie line ever, I'll enter you in a drawing for your very own copy of Josh Groban's new Christmas CD - Noel . It's a good one, folks. Classic holiday music from such a wonderful vocalist... you'll like it, I promise. I just want one movie line. Not your three favorite... not a paragraph. Just one line. The one you find yourself repeating. The one that makes you laugh every time. Your very favorite movie line of all time. And if you're the first person to name the movie my title is from, you'll get an extra entry in the drawing. Now, let's hear it.
