It's really starting to sicken me how much of a joke that's become. When was the last time you even heard the topic of prison rape come up without a smirk or a cheer?

I was so lazy today. I got up three times. This time, I think it'll stick because I'm dressed.

I need to go out and get groceries. And take the trash out. Maybe I'll vacuum. I don't know.

Northern NM got socked with snow. Think I heard that it broke a record 50 years old. Crazy. Meanwhile, it's still way above normal here.

I got up, ran despite my lazy inclination, and ended up with that postural hypotension, quite dramatically.

Home, taking it slow. Since I came back and snarfed and showered, I've been napping my last full day in JA away. I think it's about time I made another run at the fridge.

I love this fridge. It puts mine to shame. There's all this food in there, and much of it is already cooked.

Ah, that does sound lovely. Enjoy the napping and the joy of prepared yummy food.

All the good leftovers are 2000 miles away from me. I have a metric buttload of nuts and brittle and chocolate here, but it doesn't hold the appeal that tamales and beans and ham and chile cheese bread do. Ah well.

OK, leaving the house now. Really.

I now have a cell phone. That is all.

Just saw Inherit the Wind for the first time. Boy howdy, that's a hell of a movie.

Isn't it though? That cross-examination of Brady by Drummond was priceless. Some years back I read an account of the actual "Monkey Trial." As I recall, much of the cross examination in the play/movie came from the actual one Clarence Darrow did of William Jennings Bryan.

Damn, that was a good lunch.

Leftover xmas Turkey and stuffing and homemade gravy. Plus Spanikopta. Finish with blueberry pie with vanilla ice cream.

Favorite Food: Leftovers!

Wow, really, that much? That's awesome! My buddy over there predicted they'd get a bunch. He really knows, too; he's never once steered me wrong.

We got a good bit here, but there's generally more precipitation here than there.

Woo Hoo for cellphones! I held off longer than a lot of people, but parenting makes a cellphone a necessity. I still don't answer it a lot of the time. I get a lot of calls because my cell number is the phone number I had at home for the last 20 years. Look at the number, most of the time don't answer.

ION it looks like I will be buying a truck today. We had an extra vehicle that we didn't like and CarMax offered me a good price, so sold it. Now we are probably going to sell the beloved Jetta. We'll put it up but only let it go for a good price. It has lots of shiny sporty extras including that it was the only one made in its color.

DH has narrowed down the new vehicle choice to a Ford Lariat with the crew back seat to fit my oversized children. It is a crazy large truck with lots of power to pull the boat on bad ramps. The front seat can bench so I can fit 6 people which helps with transporting kids.

Most normal cars just don't fit my family anymore. So monster truck it is. This may happen today. If so there may be pictures.
