The brighter side of life

Well, yeah. Sorry about the bitch-fest of yesterday. Ms. Grumpy Cranky Pants has left the building after I pointed out to her that she was not suffering from morning sickness or dealing with excrutiating physical therapy or suffering from caffeine deprivation. Her car didn't freeze either.

So, we are steadfastly looking at the sunny side of life today. Let's just pretend we didn't have one of "those" days at the middle school we work at and think of the happy stuff.

I worked out today. Only the second time since I re-injured my back (and that is a story for another day...stoopid back) and we are being very careful. But I felt like it was a real workout. I wonder what the Bionic Woman does when her back goes out on her. I mean, her back is bionic, so it must tweak from time to time.

So the writers in Hollywood are on strike. This sucks on several different levels, mostly because two of my favourite, incredibly talented writers that have many great stories to tell are unable to sell their scripts and make obscene amounts of money. But...we are looking at the silver lining in this dark cloud and I realized that no new television means a wonderful opportunity. Now, most of you, much like my personal trainer, might think that I am anticipating some "special time" with the man I love. You would be mistaken. What I realized was that we now have a chance to catch up on all the shows we never got around to watching by renting them ad infinitum on DVD. Oh yes, Friday Night Lights, I'm looking at you!

Finally, I got the new Coldwater Creek catalogue and there are so many pretty things to put on my Christmas list. Plus I am bidding on a fabulous new dress on eBay that would set me back $240 dollars if I bought it at Nordstrom. Keep your fingers crossed for me!
