Teenage mourning in progress tonight. Heart throb Heath Ledger. It is sad. It is tragic. Death makes me cry too, but I didn’t know him personally and I guess I never drooled over him while drawing his name inside of hearts or writing my name out as MRS. Heath Ledger…so it’s unlikely I’ll wear black and cry into my pillow (now...back then for me it was Johnny Depp 1985, funny that he STILL appeals to teenage girls after all these years!). I’ll say a pray for those close to HL and I anticipate my teenage daughter’s life will return to normal by this weekend’s semi-formal dance.
Home improvement update: I have a new pendant light over my kitchen sink! Hey, a small step in completing another project! There’s still some patchwork that needs done, sanding and painting before I can put up a curtain rod, but it’s one more thing out of the way! YAY! And I was home during the installation but I didn’t get accused of moving tools and the house didn’t quake beneath angry stomping and roaring expletives! That’s really IMPROVEMENT in the home improvement saga! So what if I looked up at the ceiling today and saw smudgy dirty fingerprints – I can overlook that for now because Mr. Tool Time actually started a project that could be rated “G” for language! Hurray!
Have I mentioned lately how much I despise snow? I’m already thinking about biting my nails over the anxiety of slippery roads in the morning! Once a year on a weekend I plan to stay inside is okay – it’s pretty to look at then, but I’ve had enough of cold, dark and gloomy. Our doxie resembles a groundhog when she begs for food, sitting up – if only she could predict spring instead of Punxatawney Phil…I’m sure she’d side with me and the sun would shine Feb. 2nd and it’d be 70 degrees until summer. I’ll function in the meantime as long as the roads are clear.
Well…I think I’ll post on my www.mitzritz.blogspot before retiring to the couch to laugh and hoot at the American Idol contestants as this evening’s entertainment. Mr. Tool Time wore his Iron Chef apron tonight and made ham and veggie soup (perfect for freezing cold weather) and our strawberry shortcake dessert has me stuffed and ready to lounge! Have a good night!
