That Awards Show

I don’t want the people running the Awards tonight to hunt me down for trademark abuse, so I’ll just call it That Awards Show.

I have no predictions. I have strong opinions, but as has been the case for the past couple of years, I haven’t seen all the movies. I’m lucky I’ve seen ANY of the movies. I wasn’t going to watch it, but then I remembered Steve Martin is hosting, and I love him. What if we meet someday, and our ongoing relationship hinges on whether or not I saw him host the 2003 That Awards Show? Well how can I not watch?

Also, picked up Inspector Gadget 2 for Junior and decided that French Stewart is a total cutie. I have loved him since 3rd Rock, but man, he’s just so excellent in this role.

Another Day, Another Quarter

Junior and I are just kind of hanging out today. He’s already done some playing outside (riding on his scooter…his bike is way too small now but we haven’t figured out when we’re going to go out to buy a new bigger one. He has some birthday money (from January) coming from Grandma, so that should really help. I’ll have to give her a call about when we’d be able to take him shopping.

It’s colder today than I thought it would be, so if you are inside using the computer (like I am) I forgive you.

Pants

I’m still caught up in the thrill of finally going down a pants’ size after years of upward spiralling. I went through the pantal area of my closet reading tags to see what could stay and what could go. I spotted a pair of pants that I used to adore wearing…and they are my “new” size (which used to be my old size, obviously). So I tried them on…and the buttons are missing. So while I could have looked truly fabu this morning, I now have to find not one but two matching buttons that actually fit with the size buttonhole on these pants. And oh, did I mention that I don’t sew? If I had more money, I’d just go out and BUY some damned pants. Sheesh. All this work just so I won’t have to walk around naked.

Creepy Fog

Starting off foggy and overcast (which, come to think of it, might be the same thing, right?), hopefully sunny and in the 50’s fairly soon. Not soon enough. Yesterday was heavenly. I swear, nice spring weather (not that hot humid crap from the middle of the summer, but the good 65-75 range) makes you feel like you’re in a different world. I was in a great mood yesterday, for no real reason. Hell, I’m broke, we’re at war, and the Preperation H was needed. What reason did I have to be in a good mood? But I was in a GREAT mood. You could have fried eggs off my aura. Emerging from our winter cocoon yesterday, the slider was open, other windows were open, we wandered in and out of the house without having to find hats, mittens, boots, coats, etc. You need something outside? Just go. Junior put a couple of miles on his little scooter, mostly going up and down the sidewalk. He did wear boots because he was having trouble keeping his feet dry. Walking into huge puddles will do that do you.

The last of the snow melted off the deck yesterday. Now I have to sweep off all the pine needles from where we pulled the Christmas tree out of the house, and start thinking about when I’ll have the time and energy to clean it and seal it. I didn’t do it last year, so it really needs to be done this year.

Okay, enough chatter about nothing. I finished my Salada Green Tea, and now I’m going to prepare to go sign The Boy up for kindergarten. I’m just not looking forward to this, but hey, I’m not going to homeschool, so there you go.
