It’s 12:30 a.m., Friday morning, and yesterday (Thursday) was not that much fun. Lord, how I longed for it to be a fun day, but it was just work work and no fun for you, Wacky Mommy, you reckless slut. Hope you enjoyed your free time while it lasted, girl, cuz it’s gone.

So don’t expect anything from me today, peoples. Go read the archives and find some recipes or something. Or you could leave me a note. I like notes.

Reviewed today, in three seconds flat:

Why am I doing three-second book reviews? Because I haven’t written any fiction in, I don’t know, all week?? Most of break? I need to write, Internets. (more…)

Dooce got a dog for Christmas. A DOG! Jon got her a dog. Hockey God did not get me a dog, even though I requested a dog, like, seventy-five or ninety times.

I need a dog, doggone it. I already have a bed for it.

Dear Thirteeners and Usual Suspects,

There is nothing that screams HAPPY NEW YEAR’S to me like going shopping. Do you have a special, intimate relationship with Costco? Sam’s Club? Whatever you have, wherever you are? (more…)

I would like to remind everyone, especially me, myself and I, that today is NAWACOTID. Woot!

(No, the site still isn’t up and running; we’re building it, though.)

love,

We are doing an amazing amount of nothing around here. All we have planned for the day is watching the Sabres play the Penguins (edited to say: Penguins lost. Sorry, Gaustad) and we will make Hoppin’ John and devour it. We stayed up late with the kids last night, banged pots and pans, then crashed, crashed, crashed. I slept until 11:30 this morning. What??? It’s true.

How ’bout you?

love,

WM

Would you like to read the guest post I just wrote for MetBlogs? I thought so.

Love,

Have you noticed that a lot of people (I’m not saying everyone, but mostly everyone) has decided to take the week off from blogging?

I have needs, people. For instance, if Rockstar Mommy doesn’t post first thing in the morning, like she usually does, I can’t fully enjoy my coffee.

Miss Zoot has been coming through, pregnant and all. Lelo in NoPo turned me on to a great bread recipe, and additionally? She would like to have a word with the government. I would, too. I would also like MORE TO READ but since I’m not finding it, I’ll give you a little. I mean, if Melissa Lion can blog while she’s on the road with a 2-year-old, I think I can blog sitting here in my office, on this beautiful sunny day. (Sunny for now, anyway. It was raining about seven minutes ago.)

I, I, I…
* just worked out.
* and am enjoying the sunshine, and about a dozen new books I received for review and that came in on reserve from the library.
* Also, we’ve discovered Curb Your Enthusiasm, Hockey God just went to pick up the third season from the library. Yeah, yeah, I know. We’re about six years late on this, I do not CARE! It is new to us. I love it and find it aggravating, at the same time. As one of my friends put it, “There are times I just have to bury my face in my hands while I’m watching that show.” Cheryl Hines (so brilliant in “Waitress”) is brilliant in this, too. I love her so.

Hockey God…
* in addition to going to the library, is doing the grocery shopping. He is good at it, having been a produce guy for ten years or something. Longer than that, I think it was. I, personally, think he misses the attention of all the hot housewives who wanted him to squeeze their melons.
* needs to post daily, don’t you think? I do. Go tell him.
* is not thrilled that I’m thinking of doing a Sex DeTox (one of the books I got for review) and that means no nooky for a month. The book claims to help you “Recharge Desire! Revitalize Intimacy! Rejuvenate Your Love Life!” We don’t really need any of that, per se, I just want to be able to tell people, “I’m on a Sex DeTox, gotta go!”

I think…
* this would be a challenge. I like a challenge, don’t you?

Wacky Boy…
*loves being on vacation.

Wacky Girl…
*loves being on vacation, too, and wants to spend the day cooking! I’ll top that — we’ll spend the week cooking — Creole Beans & Rice, Manicotti (using large pasta shells, I’m thinking), tacos, Polenta-Stuffed Green Peppers… I like winter.

Also? Both kids are cleaning their rooms. Ha!

Wacky Cat 3…
*is settling in nicely to Life with Wacky Family. He is fluffy and soft and hardly any trouble at all. (Double ha! He’s a handful, but I love him so.)

I did not…
* get a standard-size poodle (color: apricot) for Christmas, like I requested. That is okay, I guess. Dogs give me fits.

I know…
* I am not really a “poodle type” of person, but my friend M has three and my friend L has one and even though they could all four be described as “somewhat kooky,” they make my friends so happy.

ttfn, Internets. Gotta motor — Wacky Girl wants to jump into the land of Webkinz. Hope you find something out there to read. Send me any interesting links if you do.

Love,

WM

Now it’s hailing.
Now it’s snowing.
Now it’s sleeting/snowing/craziness, piling up.

It’s sticking!!!
