Junie B. Jones...

Friday's list of blog thoughts...

My kid is so lucky. She got to wear pajamas to school today. Really! And slippers! Today was book character day...and A went to school as my personal all-time favorite book character...Junie B. Jones. "I'm Junie B. Jones. The B stands for Beatrice. But I don't like Beatrice so it's just B." She was so excited because 1. she gets to wear pajamas to school and 2. she gets to act like a kid in "the afternoon kind of kindergarten." She was using Junie B. Jones Has A Monster Under Her Bed as inspiration. I sat down and read part of it out loud last night and we both laughed til we hurt. Even the teachers are dressing up...you know I'd be really good at that...but I probably wouldn't do it just one day a year. I'd do it with every book! I can't wait to hear how her day went...and about all the characters at school today!

A and I went grocery shopping last night. We had to buy everything for our Thanksgiving meal and groceries for the next couple of weeks. I hadn't been grocery shopping in so long...we were out of meat and everything else. We went to the Supa Walmart since A needed to buy some new pajamas and slippers...notice I said A needed to buy...she owes me $15.00. So I'm thinking that I may be able to find a pair of plain ole comfortable pants. But $300 later...I walked out without any pants. Dang it. Well, I had pants on...

I am freezing. It's so cold outside today. I am wearing my Levi's that actually fit....a cute little pink top with rhinestones...my pink velvet jacket...one of those crazy hairy crocheted scarves (multicolored...pinks, greens, and blues)...with gloves...and my honey colored mules. It's a cute little outfit...if I do say so myownself...and I do.

The change in the weather has taken a toll on my hands and feet. I bought some Jergens Ultra Healing Intense Moisture Hand Therapy last night...and I think it's already helping my hands. But my heels hurt so bad that I'm limping. They are so cracked that I can see blood. I wonder if that lotion will help them...I guess it couldn't hurt. It's not like it will turn my feet into hands or something. Why am I waiting...my heels COULD be soft as a baby's butt but I'm sitting here over-analyzing the stupidest things. Note (after stopping and putting a little lotion on my heels): It's amazing...my feet don't hurt anymore. I highly recommend this product...on your hands AND feet! (This has to go down in the record books as the stupidest paragraph ever posted on a blog!)

For the record: 1. Lip plumper lip gloss is stupid and makes it look like you don't know how to put on lipstick. 2. Is it so difficult to put things in alphabetical order? 3. M is going to a do a benefit at a church this weekend...so that means A and I (maybe C...I don't know her work schedule yet) will be free to do whatever we want to do for at least little while! 4. M is on my stupid list right now. We're not fighting and I'm still giving him the pleasure of hearing my voice. He is just on my stupid list. 5. I may have a slight case of PMS...or it could be that I've been forgetting to take my happy pills this last week....or it could be that M is a pain in the butt. It could be any of the three. It could be all three. 6. I was meant to be an independently wealthy school teacher. What am I doing here? 7. I am so excited about seeing Staci soon...you just don't know! 8. I'm sitting here with a heating running full blast and my feet are still cold. You know...I think my whole body is cold. I'd never make it north of Louisiana. 9. I feel like cooking and cleaning and Christmas shopping and decorating and wrapping presents and finishing my portfolio and doing my French homework and updating my favorite blogs list and reading my new Good Housekeeping magazine. 10. I don't feel like shuffling papers.

I've got something serious to write about but I don't know how to say what I'm thinking or feeling right now...so I'll start a post and work on it this weekend. I also want to write about weight, diets, and fitness in the real world...but I'll save that for another post, too. I also want to write about that reality show...Trading Spouses...but I think that might be a post by itself, too. So I've got three posts that I'll try to get posted this weekend.

Gotta go to class.
