weapons of massdistraction

Yesterday was fairly strange. For one thing, my folks swore up and down that my doppelganger appeared on The Price is Right in the morning. Huh? At work there were some birthday related shenanigans for this cat. At home I received some excellent mail. From my dear friend Maria (thanks!), a little something from FluffyCo, and two gorgeous prints for the newly green living room from The Black Apple. Now to get those framed. And hung. Speaking of decorations…the little man and I brought a Christmas tree home last night. For the second year in a row we wound up with one taller than I’d intended. And once I hauled it back to the house the tree stand was nowhere to be found (J grudgingly located it). Then upon opening the box of decorations I was dismayed to find the little man’s favorite had broken. I couldn’t figure out why everything was thrown together so haphazardly (I may be generally disorganized, but my OCD comes into play when putting away fragile items). And then it hit me. Like a punch to the gut. I didn’t put these things away after the holidays last year. I had just gotten home from the hospital and was laying in bed, knocking back the last of my percocet, when my in-laws came over to help J clean the house and take down the tree (so it was nice of them to help, but the glass ornaments weren’t wrapped up or protected in any way and it’s a wonder more of them didn’t shatter). Needless to say, decorating the tree last night became a bittersweet event for me. My mind was focused too much on where our lives were a year ago and not enough on the now.

Bonus: Idea: A building shaped like Godzilla? Brilliant!
Plus: Tony vs. Paul. On the awesomenousity meter, it’s off the scale.
And: The last several days I’ve eaten way to much fried mock meat. While it may taste good, it’s probably not very good for me…
