I Need a Life

This statement can often be heard coming from Taggart's mouth, who is almost 14 and feeling a few growing pains, I think. He's always certain there is something going on and he is missing out on it. I'm not usually all that sympathetic, but as I sit in my chair tonight, I'm thinking, "I need a life."

It's the day after Thanksgiving. I've had leftover turkey, a glass of wine, and am feeling pretty lazy. That part I can live with. The part that makes me think I need a life is that I'm Christmas shopping online (I was too lazy to hit the stores on Black Friday), while watching Titanic for approximately the zillionth time. I plan on turning the channel before it gets sad, by the way.

That may not sound all that pathetic, so let me tell you that what really made me feel bad. The Law & Order: SVU marathon is over, and I'm actually disappointed. I was hoping it was on until bed time.

I can't seem to summon the energy to go get my sheets out of the dryer, although I know I can't go to bed until I go get them and make my bed. At the moment, this seems a little insurmountable, but since my main goal right now is to stay awake until 10:00 (at which time I find it acceptable to call it a night), I'm going to have to find the courage to face the laundry room some time in the next 2 hours.

I may have just found renewed vigor. I was running through the program guide to see what lame show I could watch next since the Titanic is starting to sink, and I see there is a new episode of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders on in half an hour. I think that gives me time to make my bed, and find my cowboy boots, short shorts, and pom poms. I like to get into character when I watch some of these shows. Lucky for me it's not The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills night. I've loaned my private jet out for the weekend, and the pool boy quit this morning.

Maybe Kenzie and I can find a rerun of America's Next Top Model later. We haven't practiced our runway walk for a few months.......

Who needs a life?
