Where I’ve Been
I have been right here, cooking and cleaning, reading and watching. I have not, as you may have noted, been writing much. See the aforementioned. But it’s Saturday morning and I have curtains in the wash and am avoiding the windows their removal uncovers and what better way to procrastinate than sitting down with a cup of coffee and babbling for a bit.
We had a positively GLORIOUS Easter week! I cleaned the flower beds, had child the third turn over the garden plot, had child the fourth move some grasses and a bush of some kind, and planted some violets and ivy and things I don’t know the names of in the pots on the patio. They looked lovely. And they still do, even though I had to cover them for two days because the temperature dropped and we had snow/sleet/mung for two days. I uncovered them this morning and they are glory-ing in the morning sun. Cold but sunny today. I’ll take sun and temperature be damned. The warm days will return.
Oh and I’ve become enamored. For years – yes years – I was wildly enamored with Jed Bartlet of West Wing. He has not been replaced in my passionate little heart but he has had to make a little room – and that’s the beauty of the heart: there is always room for one more. I am wildly enamored with Gregory House, M.D. House, M.D. is one of the most brilliantly written television shows I have seen in a long time. Hugh Laurie plays Gregory House and is acerbic and cranky and sarcastic and more caring than he would like anyone to know. Laurie’s is a perfect performance. I have watched season one and was positively giddy to discover the discs were two-sided. More episodes! Yes, I have ordered the remaining seasons and will watch them I am so hoping the series doesn’t fall apart. The writing is brilliant!
Book reviews soon. I have read some wonderful pieces over the last few weeks. But for now, I am off to wash windows!
And so it goes.

House has been on for years and years, but I never watched it. Who wants to watch a show about a cranky doctor?, I thought. But I started watching it in reruns lately, and it really is good. I have a hard time following all the characters because I’ve been seeing the episodes out of order, even so, the medical mysteries are intriging. I can’t believe what I’m been missing.
I, too, began to watch House and got hooked! I’m all caught up, but waiting for the latest season to come out on Netflix (I missed starting the season, so I’m just being patient… get it, a pun!)
I did so much yard work in the last two days! But the rain today gave me a break (plus, makes for happy plants)!
“After enlightenment, the laundry” is the theme of my personal reality show.
