Mundane participation for the tragically bored.

eating: Mortadella on whole wheat with mustard.
drinking: Nothing now. Coffee earlier
feeling: Fine I guess

wanting: I am a broken cup - can't keep me full...always want something - but I consider myself very blessed

wearing: Cargo shorts, even though my wife frowns upon them in the winter, and a rugby shirt.
hearing: A Rat Terrier vs a Belgian Shepard, it sounds vicious but they are just playing....but the rough language and name calling....goodness, I'm all aflush.
eating: Was eating truck stop chicken {strips} I think they put herion in them....I just can't get enough, just can't get enough....they are cajun flavored though, and that's about the same as herion on the addiction scale I do believe. For dessert, cherry Jolly Ranchers.
drinking: Iced tea, it's store bought though, which is almost a sacrilege, so please don't report me to the Board of Southern Gentlemen.....I'd hate to lose my membership.
feeling: A bit chilled as Jack Frost is nipping at my bare toes, but it feels so good too.
doing: Was probably boring a young lass, as I was typing about an odd thing, so as usual I cut it way short.

hearing: blaring of the radio in the backyard whilst the boys play hybrid trampofootball

doing: playing
looking forward to: Bed - I think I might be getting a cold - my neck hurts under my ears funny...something'd not right there.
wanting: Peace on Earth's good. But today I would settle for Beth's butler and possibly a chef. I wonder if Butler's rub feet?

wearing: Black velvet jeans, charcoal gray long-sleeved t, slightly lighter charcoal gray cozy sweater.

wearing: skinny jeans tucked in my dark brown suede sketchers boots, fur lining turned down, white T, red fleece jacket. I have my hair in this knot on top of my head. I keep hitting it on the door of the car when I get in. Crazy. It makes me laugh every time.

Wait a second! Mismi! That's my outfit! I planned on wearing that today. How truly embarrassing that we're wearing the same ensemble. I'm truly mortified!

Quite copying me Mismi!
Thanksgiving with a friend in an Upper East Side diner is my final answer.
wanting: Don't know. Maybe an unknown epiphany of some kind.

wearing: oldie but goodie black danskin tights (I might like some more of those this winter, will have to see if they still are in business), long rose colored skirt with flower pattern, Rose Cafe black tee shirt (I have these in four colors - in this case the rose is red) with elderly and now oversized dark grey univ sweat shirt. Sort of like wearing a blanket. Drugstore Okabashi rubber sandals (brown). Dangly earrings to cheer myself up. (I have a cold, dagnabbit)

hearing: my ears/brain/tinnitus as usual when it's quiet around here

feeling: fond of my dog, Furwoof (Katy otherwise)
doing: just finished making chicken stock; considering doing the dishes, which I've avoided today.
Might make a miso soup with browned spicy tofu, some already cooked mushrooms, and chopped scallions. Or might not. Lazy = my name.
looking forward to: finishing a book and starting another one
wanting: as usual, to get my act together


Adds, re the univ sweat shirt - I'm not the rah rah type. It's just that I went there to school twice, I worked there for a long time, twice, and the med center folks figured out what was going on with my eyes. But the best thing was when I first went there to school, I was amazed by a whole new world of people and stuff to learn.

awww why!? We could be twins!

Don't you think it's sad Twinkies are bankrupt? Even if you don't eat them - the phrase "twinkies" (twins) will no longer mean anything to coming generations except baby talk kind of babble for twins...perhaps. Possibly.

No twinkies. wow.

wearing: random claret-coloured fleecy pants, giant white v-neck t, reversible vest in orange fleece and loden polar fleece, black shearling-lined clogs
hearing:Jill Barber singing ... <swoon> I have a girl crush on her
eating: just finished half of a ham/brie/cranberry grilled panini
drinking: making tea
smelling: the grilled brie from that panini
feeling: tempted to try and replicate the results of yesterday's "make-up for belly dancers" class
doing: laundry and thinking
looking forward getting the laundry done
wanting:to be a good napper

wearing: Weird blue t-shirt, black pants, black shoes, Pirates baseball cap
hearing: Zen Koans Gonna Rise Again (Van Ronk)

drinking: coffee
feeling: glad to be warm enough
doing: tapping keys on the computer keyboard
looking up: scalloped potato recipes: a girl needs her comfort food
wanting: long list. First on it is some thick gardening gloves that will ward off goathead and similar stickers. Those even go through my leather ones, so I probably need to double up, which might mean two new pairs of gloves, which seems like a clumsy idea. We'll see.
Looking forward to: oven roasting some spareribs with black bean sauce; also, the code in my node going away so I can meet Diane for coffee one of these days.

easier said than done

the dryer tumbler has stopped tumbling

this is not the best weather for hanging laundry out, but out it is

Wearing: Usual shorts, and some kind of Lodge T-shirt, I keep forgetting to read it before I put it on.
Hearing: Family Guy
Eating: Beef stew
Drinking: Generic cola, it's not bad. I asked my daughter to fix a glass for me, she did not want to, so what I ended up getting was a glass full to the brim of crushed ice with maybe 3 oz of soda in it.
Feeling: One with the Force.
Doing: Was reading a love note {more of a "oh ****, I think we got caught" note} that I found today from 1989, that was tucked away in an old gas tax file....{city stuff}....it was a copy.
Looking: At pictures of Snake Plissken.
Wanting: Nothing really, as usual I am content as is.

By the way, saw a video a few days ago with a lady and a vacuum cleaner, the hose had fallen out of the unit, but she was still working away, dragging only the hose around.

This made me think of a story Soz once told, and I nearly laughed the cleft off my chin.
