Yesterday I hid behind the fridge in our kitchen and crammed 4 consecutive pieces of coconut crème chocolates (you know those Russell Stover’s) into my mouth in a gluttonous rage. Why the rage? Winter does not seem to want to end. I miss the hot sun and flip-flops and fruit smoothies and my friends. My new, Connecticut friends, whose names are TLC, MTV, Fox, and Hagan Daas, leave me feeling unmotivated, sad, and bloated.
I decided I would make some New Year’s resolutions (hey, better late than never):
#1. Discontinue my secret nightly routine of gorging on bon-bons. My inner thighs will thank me later.
#2. Save my eyesight by reducing my weekly TV consumption and unplug the drug!
#3. Learn to play the guitar even if it means calloused finger pads, stunted nail growth, and hang nails.
#4. Convince my Vermont friends to move down to Connecticut by launching a fierce online campaign, using scare tactics, and promising them the world (hey, it worked for Obama – I’m just kidding, guys, come on! I braved all your Bush-isms…)
#5. Resist the urge to break into a run towards my local tanning salon.

i don't entirely understand this, but apparently i've had a profile since may '08, which would explain why i couldn't set one up with my e-mail address! still, some loser is using my username for a gmail account, so i guess i won't ever get one of those.
ReplyDeletejill, you could have easily convinced me to move to CT had you not mentioned WINTER.
definitely will plan to see you next weekend if you're going to be as entertaining as last time at metronome!
I too, need summer to come.. I think the consensus as a group would agree. Molly, I don't wanna hear it...!
ReplyDeleteI think this is a fun idea, if we can keep it rolling. (Jill, that'd be you!) I really miss those of you that are not in Vermont, and those of you that we just don't get a chance to see often. Boy, time has changed! I remember when I first moved here... ok, ok, I'll leave that for a "blog"...
I'm looking forward to Mardi gras! It will be the first time in a WHILE that we have all gone out together!! Fun times ahead!!
Now back to my cooking and reading....
xoxo :)
I just KNEW you were going to give me hell about the cooking and reading!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I think you should have a special blog sign-off and ask a totally random and unrelated question at the end of every blog...
Okay okay I have a gmail account now and have read the blog. serenity now...just kidding.
ReplyDeleteJilly I think the answer to your winter blues is to move home. I went to boston for two years
and moved back. It is your turn my friend
