The plan for today was to enjoy a gloriously Lazy Saturday, and although I achieved that, I had the added bonuses of a headache and nausea. We slept until nine, which is totally unheard of around here. Jim and I both had a mentally intense week and the exhaustion won out over our typically early body clocks. I woke up feeling pretty awful but pushed through (typical!) and made breakfast anyway, watched some television, and made oatmeal raisin cookies. Then I took Jim’s recliner over, grabbed two blankets, and slept off and on for an hour while half-watching reruns of “The Office”. My body doesn’t like intentional slow-downs. My body…

So as you probably knew, it’s been a little crazy around here. While I pick up the pieces, dig myself out of what seems like a never-ending virtual pile of (e)mail, get myself caught up with non-LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHER business, and try to decide how much of the massive amount of leftover pizza I have in my refrigerator I should eat before throwing it away, listen to this. It’s the kind of thing that often happens when my Dad calls and I can’t answer at that moment.   Too bad he doesn’t live nearby. He could pick up his own pizza.

I just became a member of the Netflix Stream Team and will be writing monthly posts on how you and your family can best enjoy what’s available for streaming directly to your television.
