The Essential 'Shot

"These are the contents of my head"

Monday - January 04, 2010

Monday, January 4, 2010

2010, 2010, 2010... gotta practice... 2010, 2010. You know how for the first quarter of the year one keeps writing the previous year in error.



So, will you be calling this year "Two-Thousand-Ten" or "Twenty-Ten"?

I STILL can not seem to get rid of this lingering pseudo-coldy, kinda-fluey raspy cough(particularly when I laugh) and the odd runny nose (QUICK, would someone be kind enough to catch it and return it to me, my voice sounds even more ridiculous without my schnozzola). Consider me one of the walking wounded for the time being.



In other news: I had a most awkward evening the other night. Went out with BNRI to meet up with my friend Di to see a band. Di is friend with my super-ex-girl-friend (SXGF) and, it being a free country, she invited her and her new beau to come along. So there I was, standing between BNRI and SXGF, can you say uncomfortable?

Now, I believe I handled the whole thing with a simple grace and charm that would have made you, dear reader, proud. However, I'm sure there will be some 'blow back' forthcoming. I'll keep you all posted.

P.S. SXGF's new beau seemed (to me) to be a shorter, plumper, less good looking (did I say that out loud) and less affable version of my humble self. But SXGF seemed to be happy and I'm happy for her.



Ok, enough about that.

"How cold is it?"

   

3 animadversions:

I, Like The View said...

ok, so I had to do a quick check to see who BKNFLJEUwhateverI was. . .

and there I find you, surrounded by women who have/have had an interest in you - you lucky lucky man!!!!

I would have thought that if you were with here (the B one) then it didn't matter who the X one was with

but that's just me!

as for the cold, probably too much kissing - don't let it ruin your new job!!!!

as for how cold it is, it's so freaking cold that I'm thinking of turning the six kittens into three pairs of slippers (for the POVS, who thought I was acting like an old lady when I bought a pair of slippers recently. . . ha! now I have warm feet and they have cold toes)

Of course I haven't landed yet.
I'm still stuck with 2009 coming out of my pen.

I think, since I've now located the fountain ink pen, perhaps that's about to change.

In which case, I'll just write 2010--or two zero one zero.
Just to be difficult, of course. LOL

Hot tea with lemon and honey, they tell me.
They also tell me a hot toddy is a good thing, so I wouldn't put much creedence in the hot tea with lemon.
Personally--I stick with Puffs with Aloe and suffer. *laughing* Usually with himself fussing after me. HEY!! Maybe that's a warm fuzzy from the current not 'x'?!
Could be! ;-)

If it ain't yet--try making it be!
