The Mondays

I have a case of the Mondays. I most definitely did not want to get out of bed. It took me way longer to feel awake once I was out of bed. Going for the dog walk this morning was not something I wanted to do (but I did). Now, I'm not even happy about the fact I have a facial this morning. Woe is me - I have go get a facial?! WTF? What is wrong with me?! I blame it on lack of candy. Well, actually, maybe it was the Skittles I had last night. We had some left over from the movies a while back.

When I get back from my facial, I plan to tackle the garage and put things into appropriate piles. We have D's entertainment center from before we were together out there and I need to get rid of it, along with an old computer and some other random stuff. I plan to take a picture of the entertainment center and put it for free on Craig's list if someone comes to get it. If not, I'll have to call 1-800-Got-Junk to come get all this stuff. Time for it to go!

Has everyone seen Man vs Wild on the Discovery Channel? If you know me at all, you know I am not an outdoorsy person. I don't like camping or communing with nature. I like nature in concept. I think we should preserve it. I think it's important. I just don't need to be *in* nature. Anyway, I find myself watching this show trying to memorize everything I should do if I ever end up stranded in the Canadian Rockies with only a knife, water bottle, and parachute cord ... you know, because it's highly likely I'll be in that situation at some point. I now know that earthworms are a good source of protein; you can bite into a trout or salmon pulled directly out of a river; that if you're hot and stranded in a desert, you can pee on your head bandanna to cool yourself down; that it's better to be naked than in wet clothes if it's cold outside and you should do push ups and jumping jacks to keep the blood moving; if you're in quick sand, don't panic, but try to maneuver onto your belly and crawl out; and the key to getting out of the wilderness is finding the river and following it. Anyway, interesting show if you're looking for something to watch.
