mynewplaceIt's not cool tonight. Well, it is outside, but not in here. I laid in bed with my sliding glass door open until I heard a raccoon outside chirring at my cat. That was enough. Can't trust a raccoon not to try and come through the screen. So the door is closed.
My head hurts and it's spinning every time I turn it. My hair is too hot, and running the fan on the old unit isn't helping any more. I don't think I'm going to make it to work tomorrow.
So I came back in here. Three reasons.
#1, it will help me get sleepy.
#2, to tell you this:
When we were at Brent's on Monday we watched Emeril after dinner. All three of us enjoy cooking shows, and we had a good time. Scarlett and I were on the sofa, and Brent was in his chair.
At one point Scarlett took my hand and asked me why I didn't have any of my rings on.
She said "See? I have MY ring on."
I told her I didn't feel like wearing them all the time. "All-the-time is saved for a special ring."
And she said "Oooh..."
Then she said
"Well I hope you get that ring Mommy, for your sake. And for my sake, too."
I felt a little guilty about letting Brent hear something that he could interpret as a HUGE HINT. But it wasn't that, so I let it be what it was.
The next night at dinner, Scarlett asked me if Brent liked Brussels Sprouts.
I said "No. And why are you doing that little victory dance in your chair?"
"Because that means we have another thing in common."
"Why does that matter?"
"Because you might marry him some day."
I told her that Brent said that probably wouldn't happen. So it probably wouldn't.
And she said "Mom, people change their minds all the time. It might only take one little thing...."
And #3 - to offer this to anyone who made it to the end of this post.
I will send handmade gifts to the first three people who ask for them in a comment here. You have to give me 365 days to get it to you, though I don't think it will take that long. And you have to be willing to post this same offer on your own LJ once you receive your gift.
I got my gift in the mail today from another LJer. It's a wonderful homemade body scrub, with olive oil which I love, and rosemary and rue. NUMnumnum!!!
Now I'm yawning. So good nite.
