No Motivation

Yeah...I guess that's what you'd call it....a distinct lack of motivation! It seems that I suck all the creative and energetic juices out during the school day/week, and then on the weekends I want to stay in my pajamas, curl up with a book, and pretend the world is a kind place without wars and voilence, which supports public education and its teachers as if they were the most important people on the planet.

I know, I know, not happening! But, it's nice to dream once in awhile...

So, today was a snow day! Well more like an inch of ice to be chipped off every surface day, and I thought...Yeah! I'll get lots of baking done today, make some extra dog treats, get a little sweet thing going, and then run into town to the grand opening of the Bake Haus, which is a great new bakery owned by friends of mine. Here it is, nearly 3:00 and I've yet to do much of anything, other than read, bake a couple of batches of croutons, and make some lunch for Jazzman and me. NOT what you'd call a terribly productive day.

I did manage to read my email, make a couple of facebook posts, chat with Felicity about the fact that her brand new, just moved into yesterday, house has no heat and they are experiencing a HUGE blizzard. I think she's decided to send Boy Toy up the chimney to see if the fireplace is functional and take the chance on burning wood there to keep the house warm. She has a great new place (her own) and all her stuff is moved, and she has hot water, a working fridge and stove...what more could she want anyway...Heat?

I'm sure she'll handle this like a trooper...always taking care of things. She thinks she's so incapable, but she manages things and they always turn out O.K....I guess she gets that worry gene from her father, because if any of you know me, you know I don't have a worry in the world (roll eyes here).

In the meantime, Tator Tot has become in engaged to a nice woman who I will be calling Elfin. She has a cute little child too, and he seems happier than ever. Of course he announced his engagement on Facebook, and has yet to call me...but I'm not upset...really...it's fine!

So, here I sit, blogging about basically nothing, simply to say that I've filled my blog post for the month and hopefully will be re-energized to enlighten you with more amusing posts as the time goes forward.

I hope you're not reading this, rather you're out saving the world, making pies, or cleaning house, maybe even shoveling snow...because in truth, I should be doing all of that, but I'm not motivated.
