Ok, seriously?

(My little homage to Brandy. Right up there with “Are you kidding me?” And crap, I just remembered I have to be someplace tonight. Not a good day for that).

If I ever mention that I’m thinking about painting slat style closet doors again, (which I will, because the linen closet doors in the hall are still orange and purple), have me committed immediately.

Two ENTIRE days, it’s taken. TWO. ENTIRE. DAYS. With a ONE INCH brush. I definitely need to decompress. I’m feeling a bit wild eyed at the moment.

SO, what can we talk about? It’s after 5pm and all I’ve done is paint a couple of stupid closet doors? No.

It’s after 5pm and I have no idea what we’re having for dinner tonight because all I’ve done today is paint a couple of stupid closet doors? No. No. No.

Is there anything else?

Well, the Fitness Outlet guy that came to my house today to tune up my new, old elliptical and replace the 20 or so missing screws smelled really good and was wearing a crocheted hat. He told me that my Christmas tree smelled really good. (I smiled and thanked him, not mentioning that it is fake. Must have been the paint). Since we were on the topic of smelling good, I asked him what cologne it was. He said he gets asked that a lot, and it’s Avatar. I hadn’t heard of it, but not watching any TV or listening to the radio keeps me in the dark about a lot of things (I don’t see or hear any commercials, ever).

Cologne and perfume usually give me a headache and make me ill, but he really did smell good and it reminded me of the cutie longhaired guys I used to like/work with/hang out with when I was 17 and working in a pizza kitchen. So I was a little surprised when it was a cologne I hadn’t heard of. It seemed like they all wore Jaccard. Jacquard. I have no idea how to spell it. But I’ve heard of that one. Is it still around? I couldn’t find it when I Googled.

(Added later- Nevermind, I’m a moron. I think it was actually Drakkar, which to me sounds like Jaccard).

Those long haired boys always smelled good. What up with that?

I ripped and reknit the sock for Clark. I’m almost done with the gusset on the first sock. It’s cute and he loves it.

It’s been really cold here, so I’m having to actively thaw the hummingbird feeder all day. They appreciate it and hover around waiting for me when I take it in to melt it again. The part I don’t like is having to keep it in at night, and wake up at 5am or so to put it out for them for their first feed. I think I’ve blogged about this before, but the guy at the Wild Bird store said that first thing in the morning, after super cold nights like we’re having, they’ll use all their energy to make a B-line for the feeder to get the sugar, and if it’s frozen or not there, they could drop dead.

I don’t know if that’s true, but I don’t want some poor little dead hummingbird on MY conscience. So instead, I feel like an idiot waking up BEFORE the birds (haha) to put the feeder out.

Health Group- (since I missed it, again)

I’ve been doing rotten. I’m happy my elliptical is good to go, and I’ve been talking to friends about coming to exercise with me, since I have a little mini Curves going on downstairs.

I feel puffy.

That’s all I’ve got.
