Nutella Latte
SHUT UP.
I KNOW!
Nutella latte.
deVille on first street.
I hate to report this, but I’m a little burnt out. Too many projects, too many deadlines, not enough bed time, and time spent in bed does not come with restful sleep these days. It’s all good stuff, of course – exciting projects, new initiatives, new boards to sit on – I’m just not doing a great job of keeping on top of it all, and I’m dropping balls all over the place. People keep saying to me, I don’t know how you do it! My secret: I don’t. My house looks like someone picked it up and shook it. On Wednesday a head cold moved in and set up camp, unpacking its cotton and phlegm into my head, nose and ears just in time for a triple-stint on the radio: I covered traffic for the Homestretch yesterday, and did a split shift with both the Eyeopener (5:30 am start) and Homestretch (6 pm finish) today. Every time I instructed listeners to report a traffic incident by dialing 403-521-1010, it came out “521-Ted Ted“. I’ve gone through enough Kleenex to buff a raw, red patch between my upper lip and nose, much like I had when I was six.
We ate Chinese food at my mom’s earlier in the week, and last night Mike made spaghetti, and tonight my sister made chicken noodle soup and grilled cheese sandwiches. Both soup and (more importantly) Shiraz were upended on my lap courtesy of one four year old. It’s a good thing he’s cute.
Would it be tacky to incorporate regifting into Free Stuff Fridays? Because Mike went to great lengths to find Julie Powell’s new book Cleaving for me, it was the only copy the bookstore had, even, and it would be a shame to read it once and shelve it. Perhaps it just seems like a good idea because I’ve been up since 4:30 am?
Warning: her new book is not the same flavour as Julie & Julia, as you may have heard. There’s plenty of butchery, but also other nasty bits. I’ll just leave it at that. But if you’d still like a copy, you know the drill: just let us all know what was for dinner last night. I’ll draw a number on Tuesday.
