Today is the 100th anniversary of Eleanor and Franklin Roosevelt. The bride was given away by her uncle, Presiden Theodore Roosevelt. It wound up being a rough marriage, but led to one of the best partnerships between President and First Lady ever.
In the parking garage at the office, there’s a black Prius that generally is parked across from me. It gets there after I get into work and leaves after I do. I love coming into the garage and saying hello to the black Prius, because it my mind, it’s friends with my car (…what?). But lately it hasn’t been there. I miss it.
Anyway, I’ve been meaning to write more but just don’t feel like it. Because I’m lazy and also because I feel like I have eleventy billion things on my plate at the moment.
Current song in my head:
“All for the Best” from Godspell
Over the past 4 years and 3 months or so, I’ve written 1000 posts. Well, more, since not quite all of them made the move from Blogspot, but still…I’m impressed with myself. Go me! And scanning the archives, I can see how little my life has changed. Which is kind of depressing, so I won’t think about it.
Tonight was my last tap class and I’m definitely going to continue on with intermediate. I could tell that the teacher was impressed. I have the individual steps down; it’s just moving from one to another that gives me problems (and the drop shuffle, but oh well). And if you live in the DC area, you can see my teacher and her advanced class in the Cherry Blossom Festival parade (April 9, on Channel 8).
I’ve been a bit concerned about my boy Brian. He tweaked his right arm in Saturday’s game, but he says it’s getting better. As long as any injuries occur now and not during the season. I want to see him taking the field on April 4. There was also a cute story about him in the Post the other day. Awww. He’s such a good boy.
This weekend I head out to visit Kathy and Robert (…and Max and Anya). I’m looking forward to it. Here’s hoping that Seth doesn’t conk out on me the way that Chuck did the last time I brought him out there.

I cannot tell you how super sexy I felt this morning when I walked into the office. I had just come from getting two crowns done, so the left half of my face was totally numb. I was wet, because of the lovely snow/rain combination outside and my hair was all over the place due to the wind (which had broken my umbrella). And since it was windy and cold, my face was bright red. Never have I felt sexier than I did at that moment.
At least I’ve managed to deal with my hair and the numbness has worn off (the numbness in my mouth that is; the numbness from having to shell out over $1000 for the dental work hasn’t).

I had plans for today to do some of the work I had brought home. But I woke up with massive headache and a queasy stomach. All I could do was sit in bed and hope for death. So I took a nap and woke up feeling pretty much OK. I can still get some work done, but it did rather mess with my plans. And it’s totally like me to get sick on the weekend. That’s pretty much what always happens with me. I’ll feel like total crap on a Saturday or Sunday, but am A-OK by the time Monday morning rolls around.
Whee! I have tickets to the Orioles opener, April 4 against the A’s. I’m totally skipping work and will sit shivering in the cold. I would’ve prefered to go to Florida and see them in action there, but finances prevented me. Ah well. So a month from today, I’ll be in Baltimore, seeing my boys again. My boys who, by the way, won their spring training opener yesterday. My Boyfriend Brian Roberts hit the go-ahead single and stole a base. And went 2-3 (and was hit by a pitch). Yay!
I had my penultimate tap class this week. I think I’m going to sign up for the intermediate classes. I’ve had a lot of fun doing tap, and it really is good exercise (which I really need to be doing more of). We’re supposed to get a sheet with the routine written out on it. My biggest problem is transitioning from one combination to anther. But anyway.
Things with me are going pretty well, though lately I’ve sort of found myself being kind of annoyed with a lot of things. And not necessarily for any reason. There are certain things in my life (e.g., bills) that I wish I could wave my hand and they would go away. But they won’t, so I’m just having to cope.
But right now I’m all sunshine and happiness. I have my O’s tickets. Tomorrow they’re televising the O’s-Nats game. It’s my compressed day. Colin is being very cute, huddled under the covers on my bed (it’s a bit chilly in the apartment). My weekend is open, other than having people over tonight. It’s a good day.
