I want to write a long New Year post, and talk about the events of the past decade, and the past year and what I’ve learned and how I’m different and how I’m the same. But I just haven’t done it, and I’m not going to do it right now either. I did get all my Christmas decorations put up, and I even found a novel place to put them all, which was exciting.
Remember last summer when I decided I was going to play tennis and relearn this sport of my childhood? Well, this past weekend I decided that I was going to relearn how to swim, another sport of my childhood. I’m still trying to figure out exactly how to not drown, what time I should swim, and how I can get comfortable being at the pool and how to get from the pool home – change clothes, not change clothes, etc.
Which is difficult right this second because it’s cold as…as…wait, how come all the terms I want to use to describe cold are actually hot? Like cold as hell, etc. Hmm. Whatev, it’s extremely cold outside.
Catherine gave me a new Frosty card last night. My old one expired, and she works for MCG, so she knew it had expired and that I really liked them so she gave me one. You should go buy your own Frosty card before they sell out. They are only $1 and they benefit the Children’s Medical Center!
Something about swimming makes me also want to do hot yoga. I wish there was a good hot yoga place around here.
I had a dream last night that I was skiing, but I had a hard time getting to the lift platform. Then I had another dream that it was summer time and it was so hot I was able to wear my favorite patagonia tank dresses late into the night without ever even having a chill. The second dream was much better than the first.
Now I have done hotyoga. Just don’t do it if you have a snuffy nose. It stinks….all the mucus runs out in the poses and the sweat just makes it gross but if you are healthy – Ill do hotyoga with you. you can teach me then how to swim. Okay, thanks.
After having delighted us all with tales of Pumpkin Sugar Cookies, would you be so kind as to share the recipe? The results of my googlation don’t seem to approximate what you described. Enjoy your blog, Ms. CharlsieKate ( found serendipitously)– and Ms. Briscoe is the bomb. Do carry on, and cheers!
Kate – they aren’t actually Pumpkin flavored sugar cookies, they are just sugar cookies we cut out in the shape of a pumpkin and iced orange with green steams! Do you still want the recipe? They are actually butter cookies, but we always call them sugar cookies!
