All the Pretty Faces

Yo yo yo, the houseguests are gone, the short ribs and lasagna have been eaten, but slimy sick baby remains! The Nosefrida has been in steady use and BLEEEEAAARRRRRGH.

That’s all I have to say about that, I promise. But that’s where I’ve been, if you were wondering. And because I am exhausted, despite the fact that my kid is now fairly consistently sleeping through (THROUGH) the night (OMFG THE NIGHT), this will be brief.

- For the holidays/my birthday, I got both a Keurig and a Wii Fit. (Yes, I know, I am spoiled, and I have no idea why, but Adam went a little OVERBOARD this holiday season.) To say I am thrilled with both is a VAST UNDERSTATEMENT, and I am hula hooping my ASS off, quite literally, although I am a little embarrassed about that time that my Mii dropped the hoop and I — my actual, non-Mii self — BENT OVER TO PICK IT UP. A FAKE HULA HOOP THAT ONLY EXISTS ON TEEVEE.

And also! I am HIGHLY CAFFEINATED. When I first got the Keurig, I was so excited to be able to make a cup of coffee whenever I wanted that I spent three solid days drinking five to six cups a day. A DAY. I did not sleep! I was having LEG CRAMPS AT NIGHT FROM CAFFEINE-INDUCED DEHYDRATION! And yet, I could not be stopped. I have since purchased several non-caffeinated K-cup varieties, and have removed my body from the ceiling, though it required some assistance.

- Speaking of leg cramps, a side effect of one of my medications is RLS — better known as FUCKING JIMMY LEGS. Suddenly, all of those ads for Requip make a lot of sense, because every night, I climb into bed to read before nodding off and though I can hardly keep my eyes open, it’s taking EVERYTHING I HAVE to stop myself from running around the kitchen island until the feeling passes. Why, jimmy leg, WHY?

- In BOOK CLUB NEWS, we’re announcing the book Monday! It has already been selected! And I am finalizing the place where we will discuss and enjoy! AT OUR LEISURE! I have not forgotten you, friends! It was just … the holidays and then the guests and the sick baby and OY HOW DOES IT ALL HAPPEN AT ONCE?

- I … well, that’s kind of all I’ve got, although I DID put together a list of 2010 goals, like my girl Jennie, and I am EXCITED about them. EXCITED.

And with that, I’ll leave you with my happy bunny, smiling through the snot, yo.

Happy weekend!
