Today was one of those days when nothing much happens but everything is right.
I did this:
Slept really late.
Ate some Chicken McBites at McDs.
Had some good hot chocolate.
Scanned old photos and had a good laugh at the memories.
Had some good egg nog.
Made a great dinner.
Soaked beans for ham and bean soup making tomorrow.
That's it. Nothing else. And it was great. Sometimes I need days like this. We all do,

Nuttin' much going on...
I haven't written much of anything lately because nothing much has been going on. I've been reading... another Wallander mystery and, yes, I've succumbed to peer pressure and started the Twilight series. I wouldn't be reading Twilight at all except my sister surprised me over the weekend with the FULL SET of books because she knows I like vampires. I just really hated the movie so...eh...I'll give the books a shot. Considering they're written for ninth graders I'm whizzing through the first one pretty fast.
I finally watched The Wrestler. Quite depressing but ultimately good. It was good seeing Mickey Rourke again. I always thought he was a good actor and he doesn't disappoint in this one either.
I also watched a couple of really good documentaries. The first was called Jupiter's Wife about a woman named Maggie who is clearly mentally ill. She was living in Central Park with her dogs. The documentary digs into her life which was quite remarkable. She was the first female carriage driver in Central Park and gained some celebrity because of it. She exists on the kindness of Park Avenue big wigs who remember her from her past. It's a touching and haunting story.
The other was Who The #$&% is Jackson Pollock? This was a very entertaining and true saga of a 74 year old truck driver who buys a painting at a junk shop for $5. It turns out it could be an authentic Jackson Pollock but the art snobby muckity mucks won't hear of it. She gets forensic evidence (a finger print on the painting that matches one in Pollock's own studio and one on an already authenticated Pollock) but they still won't hear it. She gets offered millions of dollars for the painting but won't sell because she is determined to make them eat crow. She's a real character too. Swears a blue streak and takes no shit from anyone!
That's about it. It's back to work and it's just as well. Though it was sunny here today tomorrow is supposed to be cloudy again so I might as well be in an office!

More days...
Everything past Easter Sunday just seems to be so...well..boring! It's back to work and back to the usual and there's not much to look forward to that would be out of the ordinary.
But tomorrow (the 17th) is Alexander's birthday. I wish I was there in Sweden so we could celebrate it together. I know, one of these days, we will be but still... waiting is too hard. I want it now!!
