Day Eleven – The Friday Shuffle: 1/3 of the Way Through NaBloPoMo Edition
Posted by RobinJul 11
Ah man, do I have to blog today? I don’t wanna.
I’m sure I can come up with something to write, but I don’t wanna.
Perhaps I would be a bit more motivated if all you people who are reading would comment, already. Just an idea.
After the past two days of non-existent frog hats and butt-sniffing requests, everything pales.
Sinus headache all day. Too hot. I’d prefer to spend July and August in a cave by myself but I don’t see that happening.
This is essentially a post with dots without the dots, you know.
Brian did something he never does – he’s at a movie with friends right now. I’m actually happy about this. Clara Jane’s asleep, so I essentially have the house to myself. That rarely happens, but the thing is, when you’re 35, being home alone is still as awesome as it was at 14, but for much different reasons. While I feel like I should be dancing in my underwear, I’d prefer to go to bed. Instead, I’m going to shuffle upstairs for some ice cream and continue knitting. Next week’s going to contain rock star insanity so I need to relish the quiet while I can.

Be like the squirrel, girl. It’s sound advice.
If you need me, I’ll be sitting in a tree dropping acorns on the neighbor’s roof.

I absolutely understand the desire to hybernate during the heat. I turned the A/C on in Wen’s apartment this morning around 9 and it’s still running now at 11:30 pm. We tried to have a sweet lil’ outdoor date to a free concert tonight, but it only lasted ten minutes because I was miserable. I truly think I was born in the wrong climate.

Be glad you aren’t sunburnt …but although your updates are funnier than mine!

Okay I’ll comment. I was at MO Bot garden recently and they have a huge art installation that Clara Jane would enjoy. It’s colorful, touchable and climbable and she can even go inside some of them and the inside of the skull is just the most beautiful place I’ve been. Given the heat wave it is mentionable that on Wed and Sat they open at 7 AM when it’s cooler. I sure like to make thing able, don’t I?
My little dog Billie suddenly was experiencing pain that we could not understand. So to the vet we went. The good news is… it’s not her guts and she’s not sick. The bad news is she has hip dysplacia and we just didn’t expect that in a smaller dog. She’s very relaxed on pain meds. My daughters dogs, Engish Mastiffs (over 200 lbs) have had this problem but our Billie is 30 lbs.
My husband is doing his favorite thing which is watchin Japanese movies set in medeval times on Sat Mornings. Now, how exciting is that.and that’s all the excitement from here. Hope you have a good day.

The frog hat episode was one of the funniest things I’ve read in a long time!
I’m with you on the heat thing. Our family has a tendency to sweat for apparently no reason (I get sweaty just getting the vacuum cleaner out — never mind actually USING the damn thing) so I tend to hibernate in the summer.
How about some recipes or something food related?
Carry on.

It’s good to know I’m not alone with the home alone concept! Yes, it certainly is just as nice as it was when I was a kid! I loooooove any chance to have the house to myself!!

Hey, I love being home alone, as long as there is someone else to enjoy it with me!

I like my alone time too. Just not for too long though. I get too lonely. Yeah, this heat has been a bitch on my sinuses too. Of course the new air freshener at my work wasn’t helping things either.
