The problem with cooking dinner in the crock-pot is that it frees you up from having to cook at the end of the day – which is only a problem if you are trying to avoid doing something else.
I can hear YaYa screaming with delight from the neighbor’s pool. Although he is two doors down, I can hear him as if he was right beside me. If there was ever any fear of him drowning, while out of my sight, those fears have been disappeared. To think that his teacher actually wondered if he had a problem with voice projection.
YaYa’s return home promised dinner followed by a trip to the gym for me. It’s cross training day, and I am far from enthusiastic about anything that involves getting up from the couch. The SATC episodes are collecting up again, so I begin clearing out the queue hoping for a little motivation (or at least a laugh).
The thing that I find most intriguing about SATC is the word play created by the main character writing her column for the week. I think that it’s really clever. So, while the show may offer little motivation in the area of getting off the couch for a cross training session, it may at least motivate me to write.
Hours later, I find myself tired from my cross training session, yet out of bed. Somehow, the time did pass. I’m exhausted, but whenever I go upstairs to bed, the dog begins barking. It gets under my skin so intensely that I am driven to go to him, pour a bowl of water at him, or anything else. He is winning the battle. He wags his tail, happy to have my attention. All I can think of is taking him to the pound. Even better, I can just let him out the front door and he can find his own way.
Oh, I sure hope that the time passes slowly so that I can get some sleep. I’ve already watched and deleted all of the SATC episodes. Morning, please sleep in tomorrow; I’m not ready to take on another day.

I wish I could cook everything in a crock pot. I miss my sleep too. It’s been sucking.
I know I’m kind of dense and all, but I saved your TnT email. Please make sure you remind us before the event. I want to donate :-)

Do cyberhugs ever get old? I hope not because it’s all I’ve got. If I had some Ambien I’d send that, too.

It is too muggy and hot to cross train. Enjoy SATC. I love the story of YaYa’s voice, my youngest son’s voice is like a munchkin from oz and he has this very big strong body. It is a very funny combo.

I wish we could go see the movie together. Which character are you most like – you can email me the answer!?!

Wouldn’t it be a blast to have a “Blogging Girl’s Night Out” where we all could see SATC together.
As to my favorite character, that is hard because I am still getting to know them as I never was able to see the show before. I realize that I am doing this whole experience out of order. Although I had caught a couple of episodes while traveling on business trips, seeing the movie is what got this whole thing started.
• Charlotte is really a kick. I like her optimism about relationships. She hits bottom hard though.
• Carrie is SO interesting. I recently watched the flying trapeze episode where she compares it to relationships and how you have to let go in order to be caught. Then there was her shoe episode, where she spent $485 on a pair of designer shoes (I cannot relate) and the went missing while she was at a baby shower that required you to leave your shoes at the door.
• Miranda is just so precious. Being in love with her son’s father and afraid to tell him. One of the four episodes that I watched yesterday was the birthday party were she finally tells him.
• Then, there is Samantha. She is just too bizarre for words. She is NOT my favorite but I find her interesting.

I recetly started watching SATC again & can’t remember why I stopped, I LOVE THAT show, but Samantha, is a little too much for me. But Carrie’s clothes/attitude/hair/everything makes me HAPPY!!!
