A little purple on a Thursday

It's dark and cold and rainy.  and I'm sleepy.  I contemplated a nap but decided I'd much rather ramble on with my pals :)

Hi pals! 

I also decided it might be fun to type this up in a more cheerful-er color in order to convince myself that it is not dark and I am not sleepy.

It is also my opinion that it's rather cold.

So I read a headline on my Yahoo page stating that people who like TV have more struggles with tummy...size.

Seriously?  I can't even count all the strikes against me in the ever being svelte again department.  So I won't. 

But I am considerably bitter to hear that now I can't even like my Netflix.  Jessica Fletcher will definitely miss me if I go.

It seems odd to me that the experts can be so sure that even liking TV will cause me to have a larger middle.  Am I the only one who feels this is highly suppositional and suspect?  I'm choosing to discount it as nonsense of course, but still it bugs me a lot.

I realized as I was stomping around the house grumbling about the aforementioned news bulletin that I haven't seen a bonafide news report in maybe even a couple of weeks?  Is that even possible?  I have no idea what's going on in the world other than the occasional Yahoo news bulletin. 

I fear this will only serve to make me even less fascinating. 

I used to watch Good Morning America, etc. nearly every day when I worked the early shift but now that I often crawl into bed at two in the morning, I sleep in.  and they hardly ever have the Pioneer Woman cooking or a Friday concert series on the six o'clock news. 

However, I suppose beggars can't be choosers, so to speak, so I guess I will have to lower my entertaining-news standards and act like a grown up.

Therefore, six o'clock news here I come!

I wonder if that will help my liking TV quotient a bit, therefore aiding me in my neverending and not-so-much-succesful attempt at svelteness?  I suppose it couldn't hurt :)

So I'm trying my leave-hair-in-towel-for-a-really-long-time-and-then-finger-fluff experiement again today, except without all the sleeping and THE SUFFERING.  I'll let you know how things turn out.

This is probably a terrible day to suggest it because this is quite likely my lamest post ever, but I've heard from the random friend/acquaintance/stranger who've told me they've visited me here and I had NO IDEA.  This is fun and yet also makes me several kinds of curious.  So I am going to humbly request that you drop me a line in the comments today, only if you want, of course, and let me know who you are.  Thought it might be fun :)

Finally, the below picture is for my mother.  She needs it for her wall, bless her heart.  Mom, you know what to do.

Aren't we just PRECIOUS?  HA

Happy Thursday, Y'all!
