Yesterday I sort of just felt pissy/sad/anxious all day. There are things that have been bothering lately, and I was feeling very Riled Up. Also, the weather decided to be completely crappy, and when I got out of work it was sleeting/freezing rain/snowing. Because Artemisia and I are responsible adults (this doesn't surprise me in her, but in myself, I am always shocked when I display some sort of "practicality" or "common sense") we decided to cancel our plans. The plans involved driving a distance in the dark on ice/snow covered roads in freezing rain, you see, and neither one of us wanted to risk the harm of the other person. Dorky, but cute, right? Right? Sort of anxious-but-endearing? The roads were nasty, but it sucked. Suck.

I was starting to feel very close to her, in Wyoming, and I think we were both excited to see each other again, and also to talk a lot. But! Now I have a crafty plan that involves pestering her until she agrees to come out again over her spring break, and making myself such a nuisance that she has to give in and spend a few days with us and the many, many pets. This is a good plan, because a) we would get to talk a lot more and b) we both like dogs. Let's all annoy her until she agrees. I told her we have lakes! Many lakes! Because her wilderness-loving man surely likes, um, bodies of water? Who doesn't like bodies of water?

I'm very sneaky and persuasive, you see.

In other news you don't care about, work is starting to get busier. Yesterday I got to go to a house and see a completed project that I worked on from start to finish, and it was exciting. In other news, is it really only Tuesday? In other news, the current ranking of pets, from worst to best behaved, is currently: Cab, Coltrane, Monk, Jelly Roll. For the first time ever, Jelly Roll has taken the lead, because Monk is being a jerk about trying to steal Cab's food, and also acting as if OH MY GOSH IS IT TOO COLD OUT HERE TO POOP, I WILL JUST STAND HERE WITH TWO FEET IN THE AIR AND LOOK AT YOU AS IF I AM DYING, INSTEAD. Also, we're watching episodes of Coach on DVD, and I you you, Netflix! You and Coach. Craig T. Nelson = cutie.

Here are a few silly things I've been thinking about about lately: How about some highlights? Maybe some highlights? I want a change that does not involve chopping off my hair. Also, do we like these? Specifically, the smaller pull-down Roman shade version. Also, um, does anybody want a...pen pal? Sometimes I just want to sit down and write letters, and not emails, but actual letters. And I don't know anyone who would find this an acceptable means of communications, but geez, I hate my cell phone and text messages. And I really like stamps. And I really like getting mail that doesn't just piss me off, because it is junk or a waste of paper. Keep in mind I have terrible handwriting, and you'd have to decipher it, and also, I am capable of writing/talking way too much.

Again: I'm so persuasive!

Let's all go have a Tuesday, shall we?

Love,
