Seems right for a Wednesday. Mine, by the way, made me furious, but I beat it all to death on the treadmill. Perhaps it’s the Be Joyful in All Things, Dammit! Christian upbringing in me, but I feel I should atone for my churlishness by noting the following Graces:
1. Nancy Grace on that stupid HLN channel playing constantly on the TVs at my gym has been all abuzz about the recent gang rape in Richmond, CA. Thinking about this on the treadmill today made me spitting mad, and I ran and ran faster and ran harder and was determined not ever to be a victim of crimes against women. I’m fortunate to have health and stamina and the means to train my body to run and kick and punch. I rarely find myself in unsafe settings, and I have a fierce sense of knowing exactly what I don’t have to put up with.
2. Anniversaries. We had our fourth this year, Assers her first, J3 celebrates three today, and my brother-in-law hits two next month.
3. Library trip today. This is pretty much my favorite place to go ever (It’s full of books. That you can take for free. I know!), but I almost never go. As soon as I’m done writing this damned blog, I’m going to go to bed with Bernard Cornwell. Oh, yeah.
4. The World Series is almost over! Can’t wait till Facebook is once again a wasteland of Here’s My Baby!, I Didn’t Get Enough Sleep Last Night, and I’m Getting Sick status updates. Sheesh.
5. Business is good. I hope you get the ad with the guy who “GOT RIPPED IN 4 WEEKS.” Is he wearing flesh-colored Hulk gloves?
ew, rusty metal butterfly!!! see schmon trying to slip out of the picture unnoticed? that is so like him.
I love this one! Schmonny is pretty sure he doesn’t need to be there, but it kind of keeping an eye out to smile if he sees a camera pointed at him. The expression on your face is straight-up “He-ey!” That butterfly reminds me a little of a tramp stamp.
