An account of the day
Things I did on my 41st birthday
1. Chose not to exercise
2. Practiced piano. The fingers do not care about birthdays. They threatened to forget every single chord of the Children's Choir Christmas repertoire if I didn't take them for a ride across the ivories.
3. Went to lunch at PF Chang's and ate a scrumptious shrimp dish and devoured a flourless chocolate dome for dessert.
4. Needlepunched
5. Sauteed mushrooms for a dinner I was not going to prepare.
6. Browned a pound of ground beef for the dinner I was not going to prepare.
7. Talked on the phone several times
8. Played Battleship with Matt and kept forgetting to finish the job of sinking his ships.
9. Watched two AWFUL shows. One was the movie "Practical Magic," a mess of a movie that couldn't decide what it wanted to be--horror, romance, Divine Mumbo-Jumbo of the Ya Ya Sisterhood (which also starred Sandra Bullock) knock-off, or kitty litter. The other one was a truly abysmal offering of Christmas cartoonage called "Frosty Returns." I watched it with Hayley and Matt until John Goodman (as Frosty) began to sing about the environmental necessity of snow and then I fled to the computer to ease my suffering with its soothing cyberbalm. I need my brain fumigated after watching such horrific visual sewage.
10. Wondered why no one remembered that there is a cake waiting to be eaten, candles to be blown out, a song to be sung. And then finally, at 9:15 p.m. someone remembered.

Yeah, that Frosty sequel was an abomination. Even Matt and Hayley agreed that it was terrible.
