Ten Things Tuesday

I was actually more productive around my house and in life this weekend, than I’ve been in months. I’m pretty sure I did at least ten things!

1. Baby Miller is here!!! My friend has had one helluva year. Through my Pseudo Sisters, she and her mom have become part of my family. She gave birth after one long ass day, around 8pm last night to a beautiful baby girl named Radley. I cannot wait to see and hold her today! That baby, had a cheering section the likes of a football team waiting in the hospital. How amazing to come into the world surrounded by that much love. I sat up there for about an hour, not the entire day like everyone else, but was glad to have been there!

2. Cats to the vet. Sammy and Kikimama both went…and I thought that my new vet was going to call DHS on me and take them away. Kiki has antibiotics for her refusal to use the litter box…possibly a UTI. She also has worms and got a pill and ear mites. Sammy has the mites and the hair balls, so he got meds too. Sigh. But, I was able to get them in, and it was more affordable than the last dude I went to…so it’s good.

3. Garage. I’m using my garage this winter. The little hand held opener that stays in my car sometimes works, and sometimes does not. But it’s been working and for that I feel very blessed!

4. Cleaned the guest room and put clean sheets on the bed.
It’s been piled high with clothes both clean and dirty for well over a month now…and has been that albatross around my neck that I’ve been ignoring. Feels good to have that clean.

5. Took care of the missing car payment. Apparently it really was just floating around in cyber space. I canceled that “check” and will re-send as soon as it posts back into my account. Called the car place and they were very sweet about it, noted my account and said have a great day!

6. Auditioned for a role in Love Song on Sunday, as you saw below. Still no word, but I love being at the theatre. I love being with that group of people. Play committee was fun too, I brought home a TON of scripts. The last group that I read had two duds, and one fabulous one called LEADING LADIES. it’s a farce, and dollars to donuts we do it!

7. I got to have a nice lengthy conversation with Chrome yesterday. I’m not much of a phone talker, but every now and then she and I DO connect and it makes my heart feel good to hear her voice. I miss her. I want soooo desperatly to host my Christmas party this year, when I get to see her and we can gather and see each other…Send me some clarity on my calendar please!

8. My Other Sock. Back in January I snuck into NYC for Kizz’s 40th birthday party. There, I met her delicious Nan. who KNITS! KnittingNan! and she made me the most delicious pair of warm warm warm green and purple socks. and since it’s turned cold, I could only find ONE of them. SO I’d been wearing one good sock and one white Haynes. It was sad. Yesterday during my guest room frenzy…I FOUND IT!!! AND THE ANGELS SANG GLORY GLORY GLORY!!! They are the best pair of socks I’ve ever had. It makes me want to learn how to knit…thing is, I just want HER to teach me so we can have more facetime! sigh. Sadly, New Hampshire is farther away from The Plains than NYC. Those two things suck. but these socks do not. no sirree bob.

9. I have NOT hung one single decoration save a wreath. Admittedly, I dont have any Christmas Spirit because of finances. I know that’s what it is. But this week, my GOAL (i realize this should be in the DONE column but whatever. it’s my list) this week is to get some spirit up in this house. and in my heart.

10. In finishing out this list with Goals…I say tonight. TONIGHT I plastic my windows. and watch Biggest Loser Finale. I’m totally excited about that. NOT excited about the high of 27 for tomorrow. Brrrrrrr.

Snuggle up ya’ll…winter’s here. Happy Tuesday. I leave you with my Note from the Universe:

Truth be told, Zelda, it takes so very, very little to be happy.

But you knew that.

Just ask the caged bird, the tethered dog, or the solitary oak.

Whew –
