On My Mind: Drivel

What is the purpose of having sinuses? Because I'm pretty sure I'm thisclose to selling mine to the highest bidder. Useless and irritating things they are. Maybe some steam would help. Uh, the soup is boiling over. I really don't think it's right to assume that housecleaning is more important than spending quality time with my girls, but dang the house is dirty. I'll beg Justin to clean it tonight while I rest my weary self. He'll refuse. We'll play rock-paper-scissors and roll over laughing because I always win. In the end we'll be having so much fun that we'll clean together. Dreamdreamdream.

So dreary, this rain is. Plenty of sunshine, headin' my way. Zippidy doo da, zippidy ay! But hopefully it's soaking my tree food deep into the soil. Plus it's loosening up the garden ground. Plus I want to rent a movie tonight. Plus it smells really good in here. Shoot! Soup! At least my hands aren't so dry lately, so I can wear my pretty ring again without coating it in lotion a dozen times a day. Maybe the moisture in the air from the rain has made the lotion less necessary. What am I? A scientist? Pfft. Nothing precise about this mess.

OH! I should be looking for Lauren's birthday party supplies right now instead of spewing drivel.

Mmmm...birthday cake. Is there a butterfly-shaped pan, or should I just rig something up from a bunch of round cakes? But not the biggest pan. Or maybe? But we've got to rake last fall's leaves up before the party. What if it's warm enough to play outside? Not likely. It'll be cold if we rake, warm if we don't. Ugh, the car needs to be washed, too. But $4 for a car wash! I'd rather get out the sponge....and hand it to Justin with a bowl of sudsy water. He's so hot. Is it superficial of me to think my husband is so alarmingly gorgeous? Not if I adequately acknowledge his heart and mind and faith and humor. And his eyes. My eye is burning a little. A little watery, too. Stupid sinuses.

I want to eat an apple. Fuji. Does that mean they're Asian? Japanese? I thought they came from Washington...it's probably raining there, too. Gasp! The next Twilight movie comes out soon! When? Maybe not soon at all; I can't remember. I still haven't even seen The Time Traveler's Wife yet, and it's been out forever. Rent that tonight! But it'll interfere with my new book. I should just quit this nonsense, buckle down, and write my own book. I need an idea first...a basic plot. Plot. Plot. Plot.

I've got nothin'.
