Eep.

When I am on the computer, I tend not to have any lights on. Yes, utter computer geek stereotype but I am what I am! Pitch dark with just the glow of the monitor - maybe the hallway light upstairs on or something but that's it.

This is important because last night I kept hearing this strange skittery noise last night. And you know, my first instinct was...crickets are back. But you know, I can't see in the dark. And I really didn't want to get off the chair and venture on the perilous route over to the light switch IF there were crickets all over the carpet. So I just huddled there until the noise ceased.

It turns out it was very light freezing rain against the window making the chittery noise. So I am safe! Whew. Because it COULD have been crickets.

However there is another tragedy looming. I received a dozen homemade white chocolate chip macadamia nut cookies for New Years. *sighs* There are only two left. And I really, really want to eat them. But when I eat them - there will be NO MORE! And I can't just have one of them because that's worse than none right now - because then I'll just have ONE cookie left.

Cookies belong in pairs. I know this is a form of brainwashing from my days in elementary school when if cookies were the school lunch dessert? You ALWAYS got two cookies. That has now been so deeply engrained that I can not eat just cookie without feeling as if something is missing. It must be two.

*glares across the room at the cookies* STOP TALKING TO ME !!

Oh and it's very cold outside - all frosted silver and everything shellacked with ice. So I'm glad that it's Sunday and I can remain curled in warmth.

*hugs to all* And NOT just because I'm trying to steal your body warmth!

Randomness...please forgive the whinings of swmbo.

Because I am COLD. So very, very cold. It's dropped to below 15 degrees (and yes, my dear knotted_rose I know it has been in the single digits for you *comforts* - and there are others on my friends list who are even colder - but I still must complain! I must!) and I am soo cold. I can NOT get warm. I love my house dearly - it is, above all, mine. And that which is mine gets all the love I can lavish upon it. But it can get a bit drafty and it has lots of window area and high ceilings and everything is just very OPEN. Which is usually one of the things I love about it. Except right now, when I can not get warm. I am all bundled up and wrapped up and I have a space heater pointing at me. But it's still only 66 degrees in the living room and it will not get warmer. And when I get cold, I do shake and chatter and my very bones ache and my jaw aches from clenching it so that my teeth don't chatter and...I need to be somewhere warm.

*sigh* so I am miserably cold and sore from being cold and even my magical lambs wool slippers are not helping the case right now. *sobs* So yes, I am whiny and petulant. *sniff* Sorry.

On the bright side! My darling ficbitch82 and I were trading Cordy quotes *hops* which always makes me remember how much I love and adore Cordy. So it was a close up between watching her bitchiness in When She Was Bad and the wonderfully egocentric Cordy of City of... - and since C voted for City of...that's what I put in.

I have to say, every time I watch this episode, I flash back to it's first airing, and how I felt then. And I fall in love all over again with how wonderfully over the top it was, with slow-mo scenes and the musical score and...I adored it then and I adore it now. That first scene was just so perfect and unexpected...and the whole episode works for me.

So I might be cold and shaking but I am going to overcome it !

*hugs everybody* And this time? I totally admit that I'm doing it just to steal body heat.
