Thursday's Thoughts

A few things occurred to me this week after dealing with more snow and basically being shut in the house with the television on too frequently:

1. I miss flowers.
2. My impression of Steven Tyler changed drastically after last night's American Idol. His humanity and kindness and caring towards the wheelchair-bound, brain-injured fiancee of a contestant moved me to tears. That man is a gem.
3. You are one car accident away from your life changing drastically.
4. There has to be a better way to get coal out of a mountain than sending miners in there. I cannot bear to hear another story of trapped or killed coal miners in this and other countries. It seems so 19th century.
5. My kids really like cookies. A lot.
6. There are lots of good ideas in the government arena but none that will come to fruition - all in the name of politics. There has to be a better way to get things done in this country.
7. Living frugally or thrifty has become a lifestyle. It's no longer something to be ashamed of.
8. Any woman who says she's fine sharing her spouse/significant other with another woman is kidding herself. I watch Big Love and can't imagine my husband literally spending the night with the girl next door.
9. I don't spend as much time reading books as I would like.
10. It snows so frequently here my kids don't even want to go play in it anymore. Been there, done that.
