Fried Chicken and Aaron Lee Tasjan

The snow makes me happy but other than that the week seems be stumbling along, with my days not going as smoothly as one would want. I'm finding myself a little frustrated and overwhelmed. I'm trying, however, to just put  my head down and keep going. Our Monday off on Martin Luther King day was lovely. I spent some time reviewing some things for work but was snuggled in a chair with a blanket so I didn't mind. Leo and Ernie went out for lunch but Owen and I stayed in. Later we all curled up on our couch in the media room and watched Raiders of the Lost Ark as it got dark outside. We have a l shaped couch so we're all able to fit on it, not without some bickering about who gets to sit where, but eventually we can all snuggle in. I sat there, covering my eyes whenever they showed all the snakes, and just felt so happy. With the boys getting so much older it's not as often that we do that and it made me inordinately happy. I just wanted to roll myself on top of them all. It's like sometimes when there's been a really good show I want to just rub my head on the musician, just like a cat would. I generally restrain myself you'll be pleased to know. That night though, watching the movie, all I could think was that I felt a piece of chicken ready to be rolled in breading and fried.

That's a really weird image to represent happiness, but there you go....

Here's a treat for a WEEK FROM TONIGHT! Aaron Lee Tasjan at OUR HOUSE! Please come...it will be a great evening, we'll keep it early, and you'll be able to say you saw him when....
