I'm feeling antsy today.  It poured - really poured - all day long.  Instead of getting a bunch of gardening done we spent the day holed up sipping tea and eating soup, which is very different from yesterday's gorgeously warm tan-line inducing temperatures.  I read some travel guides and surfed the net working on some travel plans and answering some online questions which succeeded in making me even more antsy!  Why torture yourself with visions of sun-filled piazzas and sandy beaches when it's gloomy and grey out your window?  I temporarily switched to spider solitaire which hurt my brain, induced upper back tension,  and caused me to question my own mental ability.

A family pow-wow occurred around 4:30 when we realized we were all a little stir-crazy and hungry.  I'm sure I'm not alone when I say our pantry is full to the ceiling and our freezer is stuffed, yet somehow we have nothing to eat?  We discussed getting out of the house but every idea we came up with was vetoed by someone; a movie seemed inticing but none of us could agree on which one to see.  We considered dinner but we all felt like different things… we were in a state of confused agitism (not sure if that is a word but it seems appropriate).  In the end we scavenged and came up with a box of cornmeal muffin mix, some mediocre frozen low fat chicken smokies (won't be buying those again), and some romaine lettuce.  All together it served it's purpose without winning any awards, but we did get the majority of the Canadian Food Guide covered (did I mention the frozen yogurt for dessert?).

And now suddenly, at 8 pm, the sun in shining and it's gorgeous outside!  Of course by now the kids are getting ready to head to bed and I'm way too comfortable in my old sweatpants to leave the house.  The purpose of this post?  Nothing, just a rainy day in the life of me….  and a reminder to get some groceries.
