And then...boredom

No wonder people dread retirement so much. I slept all day yesterday, watched both Ellen and Oprah, fed myself, watched my netflix movies, and then went back to sleep.

that was my experimentation as a lazy housewife.

this morning i did the "my only friends are on the internet" housewife. this afternoon is bookish housewife. and tomorrow i may take a step towards athletic trophy wife and spend 5 hours at the gym before i revert to living on facebook the other 19 hours.

my life is very quickly paralleling "about a boy" save the fact that i don't have hoardes of money or a small boy who stalks me.

...in other news, it snowed in new orleans! a lot!



That city is a constant source of amazement. Do you know that we GAINED 10,000 jobs in November?? So while the rest of the country/world becomes victims of this stormy Recession, NOLA is that old lady who comes out of her house after the hurricane and wants to know why her cable went out.

I mean, gawd, isn't it such an inconvenience for us New Orleanians to have to listen to people talking about cutting back? I mean the space that the TP uses to cover that stuff could be used for a stuffed mirlitons recipe.


For twice we are getting things right: we have winter weather and an economy that doesn't parallel a 3rd world country's.

maybe the south really will rise again.
