Try It Risk-Free for Seven Days

Even with my writing background (journalism and otherwise), it would be difficult to be a TV writer. I've been watching some more Tivo (of course! b/c what else would I do on a Monday night?!?!). If you've watched any SATC at all, you know that every single episode includes Carrie writing an ingenious article (usually near the beginning of the episode). As an example, one of the eps from my Tivo OD tonight included the following little snippet of Carrie-goodness:

I wondered... were we all just victims of conditioned responses doomed to repeat the same unconscious relationship patterns? Were we all, in fact, just dating the same person over and over again?

I wish I could be clever every night. That would be good. And I'd like to be able to say something... at least periodically... that would reach out & grab someone.

Anyway... that's enough for tonight. Gotta get back to work. Yes... seriously. Haley told me to put it away at 6:00; and it's over 6 hours later. It's still not away. I've been on the VPN for 17 hours straight. With only small little breaks. Swear. No pool today... even though Mom accused me of being there when she called at about 4. Shoot... I really haven't even been outside... except for that 30-minute (or so) walk down to the pond with the family.

One more thing... quickly. I've gotten into the habit of heading outside with K&C just before bed. I try to keep the lights off so I don't scare the neighbors... since I'm usually already in my pj's (which have lately, Mom, been the cutesie Bass short set you got me for Christmas... was it 2 years ago? why don't I wear things when they're new? Could that possibly be something I gained from you?!?! Haley, if you don't wear yours -- and since you need some extra storage space for your beloved wardrobe! -- send it on my way!!!!). Anyway... outside... nightly... in my pj's... oh yeah, the last few nights have been extremely pleasant, with an unbelievably beautiful moon. I know I've talked about it a few times already here... but it really is worth seeing if you haven't taken a look in a while. Of course, maybe it's just prettiest from here. Feel free to come visit and see it from my vantage point. Oh yeah... and the reason I wrote that was to show you this... Cooper's playful, it's-the-middle-of-the-night-and-I-wanna-make-some-noise pose:

Maybe I'm just a fool, but my fool shoes fit so well
Snuggled up in my big fool blanket at the Gramercy Park Hotel

I love hotel beds. Well, let me revise that statement... I love the great hotel beds that I've been blessed with lately. Finally... these hotels GET IT. The bed makes ALL the difference! Sorry... that just popped into my head with that lyric. :-)
