I’m going to pretend you asked me questions and then I’m going to answer them. That way I don’t have to make paragraphs connect and junk. Here we go.

Hey, coolbeans, what did you do on Thursday and Friday?
I worked and then I did some stuff and then we went out of town for a basketball game. My sister rode with us to the game. She watched movies and played video games with the kids. I think we will start taking her everywhere. Her name is Aunt Harmony.

What was Saturday, February 23, 2008 like for you?
We drove out of town again for the rest of the basketball tournament. We went to Dairy Queen in Smallest Town, USA. Then we took the kids to a hockey game. The kids liked it but my son thinks there should have been more fighting. His father and I agree. My five-year old has been stomping around the kitchen in plastic skates practicing for hockey.

And Sunday? How was that?
I napped. You know how sometimes you wake up and your neck or your shoulder or your arm hurts and you say, “I must have slept on it wrong.”? Well, Sunday afternoon, I slept on my eye socket wrong.

How’s that READING GOAL coming along?
Wow. You’re kind of pushy with the ALL CAPS thing there, missy. Maybe you should CHILL OUT. If you must know, it’s not going as well as one would hope. I’m going to be playing catch-up the rest of the year. Thanks for bringing it up!

I did finish a book this weekend, though. Montana 1948 by Larry Watson. I gave it four out of five stars. I’ve almost finished In Defense of Food and I don’t have much of Outlander left. I’m just not feeling that last one like I was at first. I don’t know. Something killed it for me. Maybe because it’s suddenly idiotic? Maybe not idiotic, but some of the characters are schizophrenic. I’m having a lot of trouble sorting out motivation.

How are you today?
I was tired all morning. Construction demolition and disrespectful, eyeball-rolling kids at work made me nearly lose my mind. I also think I’m sick. I’ve coughed all day and now I’m feeling achy. I better not have the flu. Because I said so.
