Cabin Fever

Stuck home for another day!  Sure, I made it to work yesterday, then came home to take care of the dogs and got stuck.  In my driveway.  I really should have shoveled it on Thursday.  So I missed the Friday crowd!  Oh well, I'll have to stop by a few times next week to get my knitting fix.  Along with all the other things on my to-do list!

Really, I don't exactly get bored staying at home.  There's lots to do!  A puzzle still on the dining table, knitting (of course), a pile of DVDs, and oh yeah, cleaning and laundry and the like.  I can fill my time, sure.  But I get lonely.  I'm just not the type to call up someone and yak, or ask them to come over.  I figure people don't want to deal with the snow any more than me, or they have stuff to do.  After all, their houses are probably as interesting (or cluttered) as mine!

I forget to eat on days like this.  Right now, tummy rumbling, I realize I haven't had anything for about eight hours.  Lunch was early and small.  It's not like I lack food in the house!  Both freezers are crammed to the gills with this year's beef.  Frozen veggies aplenty.  Decent pantry stock of canned goods and box dinners.  I'll probably end up making mac & cheese.  An old standby, one of the first dishes I ever learned to make on my own.  I mix it up a bit now, throw in veggies and stuff.  Breakfast was another of my signature dishes, scrambled eggs!

I remember learning how to make scrambled eggs.  It was almost Mothers' Day, and I wanted to make her breakfast in bed.  A good one, not just toast or cereal.  So, one day in the car, I asked Mom how to make them.  She described it as she drove, and I remembered.  By the time I served her that breakfast, she'd forgotten that I'd asked!  She ate the eggs, and declared them good.  Ahh, nice memory.

I'll probably finish up the 1000 playlist this weekend.  I'm over 910 now.  Recently heard Annie Lenox's version of "Whiter Shade of Pale".  Love that song!  Her version and Procol Harum's are both on this thing.  By the time the playlist is done, I'll have enough new stuff on the computer to fill it up.  Music management is a little more dull than listening, for sure, but I need to learn how to do it.

HA!  Finishing up this listening block with Robin Williams, from the "Good Morning Vietnam" soundtrack!  He says "Thank you for that lovely tune.  That funky music will make us boogaloo till we puke."
