Imagine my surprise! After all these years of good intentions I finally borrow a copy of The Bell Jar (or should it be "The Bell Jar"? I can never remember.) and dive right in. Not scary at all! Yippee! And it didn't make me any more suicidal than usual. I loved the way Plath combined words. I've got to return the book today; so I can't find any examples. Not sure I'm brave enough to try the poetry. Definitely going to check out some biographical stuff. I wonder what her Mom was so afraid of.
Imagine my surprise! Thursday today. I had almost totally convinced myself that it was Wednesday. Garbage guy at six thirty was my first clue that I was mistaken. Pills B and C come in a dated, plastic dispenser pack and they both had Thursday as the next dose. DJ teacher posted song of the day which he faithfully does the morning of his radio broadcast; so I admitted it was /IS Thursday.
Imagine my surprise! I did NOT miss my Darling Middle Daughter's birthday! I crafted a card of real card stock and intentional stickers. I had made another vow not to buy into the corporate/Hallmark/holiday thing. And so I splurged on cool, colored markers, card stock, and a package of neon stickers. Two store bought cards would have cost just about the same amount. Since I already had envelopes I now have supplies on hand to send cards to the people I care about. Yay me... And I have a legitimate excuse to blog troll all the pretty paper ephemera blogs.
Imagine my surprise! The weather is supposed to suck for the next few days. I crave the sunshine. I am not complaining about the lack of snow or the relative warmth of this winter season. I know it's not an anomaly, but rather a harbinger. We have fucked this poor planet unimaginably badly and now she is saying, "Nyah! Nyah! Nyah!" Or maybe begging, pleading for mercy. I tremble at what the ecosystem (is that even a term that's in use these days?) is going to hand us in the next few decades.
Today is library day.
