So when did I become a math genius? And how sad is it that I am the math expert? Really? Oh, so I managed to make mostly As in math, but I made lots of Bs, too. I'm no math expert anywhere in the world - except here.
Here I appear to be a math genius. Here it seems as if it is unheard of to solve for x, to know when to multiply or divide, how to add or subtract fractions, or even how to multiply or divide. All I know is that I like being the math genius that I always dreamed of being.
Yep, how crazy is that. I always wanted to be a math genius. Now I am. Who says dreams don't come true?

Buttocks as a Weapon of Destruction
This is my favorite headline of the week - "Midwest City man uses buttocks to smash ex's TV." HOW GREAT IS THAT? You can't make stuff like this up. I love it so much!

When Crazy Texts
So yesterday I got a text that read, "Happy New Year! Sure do miss your crazy ass!" How sweet was that? Seems Mr. T. was bored at work and wanted a texting buddy. While he didn't have any news to offer, he was entertaining for a bit.
We discussed former co-workers and their proclivities including one who loves to visit Long John Silver's and then toss her fish & chips. Why do people do that? I can't imagine how that seems like a good idea. Of course, I do plenty of things that seem like a good idea that usually don't turn out to be.
I'm still fighting my cold. Hopefully, I am kicking it. So far, I'm not any worse. I don't think I'm much better, but I'm not any worse. That's good news for sure.
Now that I have descended into talking about my health, only the weather can be next. Dang, it's cold. While I don't enjoy cold weather, I don't mind so much when I can see the sun, but that does not seem like an option for the foreseeable future. Oh, well!
That's all for now. Perhaps I'll have good crazy story before long.

Thought for the Day
It's closing in on noon, and I still haven't had a clever thought so I'll just post anyway. I'm fighting a cold for all that I'm worth. Even though M denies it, I think I got it from him. I just refuse to give into the desire to crawl in bed and pull the covers over my head. Wait! Is that the cold talking - or the cold?! It's 22F (-6C), and getting colder.
Gray winter days always remind me of the quote by Camus, "In the depth of winter I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer." I just love that idea - and always find it interesting that someone who wrote what Camus wrote had such a wonderful quote.
So today, when you are freezing, pull out those photos of your summer vacations over the years - particularly the ones you took while in a warm, sunny place. Remember how good it felt. Enjoy!

Baby, It's Cold Outside!
And apparently getting colder. They (that would be the bozos on TV) say that this is going to be the coldest winter on record - or at least since 2000. As long as I have electricity and gas, I'm okay with that.
To fight the doldrums, I plant paperwhites. I like to plant them at the beginning of January and watch them grow. Usually about the time they are done, it's almost time for the daffodils, my favorites! I love daffodils because they mean that winter's gone, and spring is here. I don't think it's possible to be unhappy when there are daffodils around. They are so cheery. They always make me smile.

Resolutions
So how are you doing on your resolutions? So far so good on mine. I actually went to the gym and worked out for an hour - thanks to TC! So my resolution isn't really "to get in shape" or "to lose weight." Yep, I want both of those things, but I realize that I need to exercise at least 3 times a week to feel good. After a couple of weeks lately of no exercise, I was in a pretty bad mood. Sadly, I have come to realize that exercising does actually cheer me up. Nope, I still hate it, but I can't deny it makes me feel better.
I'm also fighting a cold. There's no use denying that either. M has been sick most of the week, and I fear I might be coming down with the same thing. At the same time, I deny it. I will not get sick. I will not get sick. I will not get sick.
I just finished another J. R. Ward Brotherhood novel. Those are some good trashy books. I have to give a shout to Girlfriend for recommending them to me. I do enjoy a good trashy vampire read. I think I have one or two left to read. I am going to be sad when I am done.
I managed to miss all the new movies - at least so far. I did "see" Sherlock Holmes, and by that I mean I slept through most of it. Unlike M who said, "GUY RICHIE? I hate Guy Richie. I'm going to sleep," I actually did try to stay awake, but it was no use. The movie was too boring for me. I should have known because Sherlock Holmes always bores me, but I'd hope the remake would be fun. In my opinion, it was not.
That's about all I have for today.

Happy New Year
Thank all that's holy that 2009 is behind us. Maybe it's all in the attitude, but 2009 sucked. I can't say it any plainer. Oh sure, I could come up with something positive if pressed, but for the most part, I've never been happier to see a year say good-bye.
My ringing in the new year was pretty quiet. I fell asleep before 11, but that might be because M decided to make rum & cokes with Bacardi 151. Wow, I was lit by 7, but it was nice. We watched "Sex & the City" for several hours then gave on staying awake. Before we fell asleep, however, we smudged the house by the light of the full (BLUE) moon. M kept saying our house smelled like an illegal substance, but the smudge stick was purchased at Whole Foods - I SWEAR!
The first day of the new year was uneventful. I cooked a ham and made black-eyed peas. We lazed around and watched LSU play a terrible game and eventually lose to Penn State. I think the game actually lasted 8 hours - it sure seemed like it. I took a long nap during it and still seemed to have seen the whole thing. After that we watched a couple of bad Jennifer Aniston movies (is there a good Jennifer Aniston movie?) and a couple of Die Hard movies before passing out. (By passing out, I mean M is actually ill and took some cold medicine. I just drank some whiskey.)
Today hasn't been much more productive, but I did get up at a reasonable hour - 8 a.m., and I actually went to yoga. Then I went to lunch with TC and did a bit of shopping. I bought a BEAUTIFUL coat, cream & gold, for $60. It had been $188 so I got quite a deal! We ate at Olive Garden because I won a gift certificate there, and it was a nice lunch. I also had a gift certificate for Williams Sonoma so we did a bit of shopping there.
Now I'm back home and back on the sofa. We're watching the Cotton Bowl. I should be yelling for OSU mainly because I hate Ol' Miss with the passion of a thousand burning suns, but one of my "friends" who loves OSU made fun of LSU's loss so I find myself hoping the Rebels will teach the Cowboys a lesson. Yes, I hate myself for this, but I just can't help it!
I'm good with 2010 - so far.
