help me Mary please....

Oh good lord, I feel an attack of the Liz Phairs coming on�.can usually only be remedied by repeated listenings of �Exile in Guyville� � right now I�m particularly hankering for �Help Me Mary�. I think it�s about time I burned an extra copy or two of this album. So I can have a home copy, a work copy and a car copy�

OK, in an effort to stave off this latest case of the Phairs I will try and follow her lead and be thankful for the little things:

• finally getting to make soup � OK actually lentil stew. Very yummy vegan lentil stew
• and cornbread�
• and a fresh green salad �
• finally cleaning out closet; putting away of the summer clothes and organizing of the fall/winter clothes
• an evening to myself last night
• with a rerun of the Gilmore Girls being the only concession to TV (Sopranos can wait til tonight)
• Starting J*eannette W*interson�s Or*anges Are N*t the Only Fruit
• Reading through two weeks� worth of the New York Times Sunday newspaper
• P*nch Dr*nk L*ove
• The Str**ts!
• Enjoying time with the spouse
• and the cats�.
• a clean house
• anticipating a trip to Trader Joe�s tonight
• suddenly craving peppermint brownies
• cold winter mornings
• another blanket on the bed
• my flannel �freedom pajamas� (perhaps I�ll explain later�.)
• honey chamomile tea
• buying yet another book�.
• buying a small silver Christmas tree and tiny vintage-inspired ornaments
• resolving that, once and for all, I will buy those real vintage ornaments at the antique store
• fingering holiday paper at the store
• hardly being able to wait for the annual drive to look at Christmas lights
• and the misty winter night that goes with it
• listening to the B*ach B*ys� Christmas record, of course
• one month left of school
• and then five weeks off
• including two weeks of vacation from work
• I think I can make it�.
