Sweatsuit

Ok. So, I recently bought a couple pairs of the UGLIEST, BAGGIEST sweatpants ever, and a couple plain pullover sweatshirts and I've pretty much been wearing them nonstop! Yesterday I caught a glimpse of myself in the bathroom mirror and couldn't stop cracking up! I improvised a short song and dance on the spot; went something like this: "I got my sweatsuit on, I'm gonna have some fun; I love the baggy top, I'm wearin it nonstop; My ass looks saggy yo, I'm lovin it fo sho; May be a fashion crime, I wear it all the time; I'm fuckin COMFY, I'm fuckin COMFY, I'm fuckin COMFY..." and on and on... The dance consisted of me prancing back and forth in front of the mirror with grand, 90 degree angle steps and arm motions and a huge goofy grin on my face. Oh yeah, and *jazz hands*... Anyway, if any of my imaginary readers were wondering where I have been over the past few days, this pretty much sums it up. Sweatsuit!

Shiver me timbers!

So get this.

Last night it snowed. *puke!* Can you believe it? Mid-October and it is already snowing! This in and of itself does not bother me too much. For the most part I stay inside, venturing out only on rare occasions for bits of yarn and other random craft necessities. Today however, the ignition switch for the electric pilot on our furnace went out, so now there is no heat in the house! Aaaagh! I can’t handle the cold; I’m not built for it! Got two sweatshirts layered on, with two pairs of sweatpants, slippy socks, hat, scarf, and mittens (homemade by moi on the last four!), but I’m still shivering!

Oh, and another thing! One of our pipes sprang a huge leak, so now we’ve got all the water shut off until a plumber can make it out on Monday to fix it! No modern amenities!?! Am I living in the dark ages? I think I just may be!

Oh, and one more thing! I’m babysitting a 10 week old puppy for the weekend. A freaking puppy! Me!?!? WTF am I doing this, I don’t even know… I have not the first clue how to care for a baby dog. I mean, it seems to require constant attention in order to prevent it from destroying my house! Also, FREQUENT bathroom breaks so it doesn’t resort to crapping in my memory foam slippers out of spite :( I am SO not a dog person…

Anyway, I also had little run-in with a crazy bitch today, but we’ll save her for another blog (she is a frequent contributor to my daily drama)! The bottom line is, today has been a bit stressful. But here I am, staying true to my commitment and that is a good thing. And hey! I feel a little better already! (but I AM still really cold!)

To blog or not to blog...

That is the question: whether it is easier to live with yourself as a sporadic contributor of half-articulated trepidations and misgivings to an already overcrowded blogosphere, or to suffer the dank indignity of a dilatory, affective downward spiral in silence? In a completely un-Ana fashion I have made an actual decision and opted for the former, and as such I am tentatively taking a (decade-long-overdue) step into the world of blogging. Buckle up folks: (the people that I imagine are reading this really ENJOY my verbose overindulgence in the art of the ramble :p ) I don’t know where we’re going in this crazy bus here, and I DON’T EVEN KNOW HOW TO DRIVE!!! ( *scream and grab for the oh shit handle-pump futilely on the useless breaks-get out while you can!* ) Thanks for reading! More to come!
