Just watching The Bachelor. Have hugest crush on Jason Mesnick….


PICK ME!!!

But I am so freezing cold and head-achy. So, without further ado (because I WANT BED), I give you point form. A few things I’m thinking about….

- Jason Mesnick.

- Went thumbing through People Magazine at the drugstore today. Made the monkeys wait in the stroller while thumbed. Thumbed through because of thumbnail picture of Jessica Simpson on the cover…. Naturally, it caught my eye….

…I think it was the high-waisted jeans that caught my eye. I mean, how are those flattering, really? And, she couldn’t pull them off when she was skin-and-bones — why NOW?

-Yes, she’s gained a lot of weight. And, I like it. It’s REFRESHING!

-In the magazine, Jess said the weight gain was a reflection of her happiness, and that boyfriend Tony Romo LOVES her new curves and makes her feel sexy. Obviously, (I don’t know what Tony Romo thinks, but) weight gain is rarely a reflection of HAPPINESS. It could be a reflection of yo-yo dieting…. I mean, we’ve all heard her say this before. Watch: 2 months from now she’ll be skinnier than ever. The same thing happened with Jennifer Love Hewitt and Janet Jackson, oh, and Alanis Morissette. It’s so all PR. AND, who could take all the FAT attacks. I mean, the media’s KILLING her with FAT FAT FAT jokes and criticism. But, it’s nice to see so many celebs coming out in her defense, even as so many of them are TOTALLY anorexic these days….

- Maybe it’s because Jessica Simpson’s gained weight? But, as I was thumbing, I noticed all the other actors in Hollywood are ANOREXIC looking. Angelina Jolie and Anne Hathaway were skin and bones at the SAG awards…. I mean, after all, Jessica Simpson is FAR FROM FAT with her new curves…. She’s just not ANOREXIC like so many of her peers.

-I had a professor in university who LOVED squirrels. She loved squirrels so much that she dedicated one of her books to them — to something like Periwinkle and Tootsiewoops (I think I’m way off, but you get the picture). I was her research assistant at one point, and I’d go to the grocery store and buy walnuts for her; I’d feed the squirrels when she was away…. She even made me accompany her onto the road to scoop up roadkill with an Indian silk cloth and drop him gently (I can’t remember his name) in a more respectable spot. I remember a car stopped in front of us, and the woman looked at me like I was cuckoo — of course, I was sure to point the finger at the squirrel lady…. The thing is. Now….

I’M A SQUIRREL LADY!

Check out the RED SQUIRREL….

I know, the pictures totally suck. (And, I know, this isn’t really POINT FORM anymore. I’m on a roll. Still f-f-f-freezing feverish, though.) I didn’t want to scare them with my flash. Anyway, I haven’t started naming them, yet. But, I give them all my leftovers, and sunflower and pumpkin seeds. Organic, of course. I also love the birds.

I just admire them, you know? This winter has been the coldest and snowiest we’ve had in a LONG time. How could the squirrels have prepared for that? How do they survive in it? I go back to my toasty home, and where to they go? And, where do they get their food, if no one feeds them….

-When I start to lose it during the day. Like, when Rascal’s flailing because he doesn’t want to put his boots on, or when the Monkey’s begging me for JUST ONE MORE BACKYARDIGANS…. I walk over to the kitchen window. And, if I’m lucky, I’ll see a bevy of squirrels and birds munching away on Monkey’s wasted breakfast waffle. And, then I can breathe again. I can remember what counts.

Love!
