BUMMER!

As has happened in times past, I have a serious case of writer's block right now and have for a while (hence my cheatin' by simply providing a link to something amusing from Bob Costas/Jimmy Fallon for my last post). At this particular moment, I kind of feel like complaining a bit. So tonight, I give you another list:

THINGS THAT ARE "BUMMERS" TO ME THIS EVENING

• Winter-like weather doesn't end up here until somewhere around mid to late April. In the meantime, the possibility of spring will continue to tease me with warm-ish weather days between spurts of days with snow and slush.
• I have at least 4 loads of laundry upstairs waiting to be folded.
• I have at least 2 more loads of laundry upstairs waiting to be washed, dried, and folded.
• One half of my favorite pair of black slip-on flats sustained an injury while we were in Southern California and I'm not sure that it's repairable.
• The heavy snow we got this afternoon (that is still coming down) has wiped out our satellite reception for the time being.
• Without our beloved DirecTV working, TiVo can't record American Idol and we're probably going to miss Grey's, too.
• I've had a headache almost every day for well over a week. I'm pretty sure that it's due to my going to bed too late each night but I don't really feel like changing that right now.
• My kitchen floor needs a good sweeping and mopping and my imaginary maid doesn't really exist.
• I'm afraid I might have unintentionally offended someone...they have hardly made any kind of effort in our relationship in some time but I can't figure out what I did or decide if I should approach this person about it.
• My skin is suddenly ultra-dry...again. It seemed like it was okay for a month or so and has gone back to its ugly, crackly ways.
• I am approximately 2 1/2 years behind in my scrapbooking/photo books. Haven't done anything for Hudson since he turned 3 and haven't even started on Claire.
• My deaf ear is really annoying. It's frustrating when I can't pick out a sound or voice like I used to and when I forget that I lost my hearing on that side (like when I try to switch ears on the phone or cover that ear to block out excess noise).
• I just cleaned the upstairs bathrooms three days ago and they already look like I haven't done so in weeks.
• I can't find my brown-tone framed glasses. Been missing for weeks (months?) and while I remember seeing the case, I can't find it or the specs for the life of me.
• Lastly, I don't have a Princess Cake from Gayle's sitting in my fridge upstairs...and if I did, eating a slice would most certainly make everything else listed above seem okay.

Okay, I'm done. I promise my next post won't be such a bummer to read.
