Wednesday I ran 3 miles, practiced guitar for 2 intentioned hours, blogged for 2 hours, had a great kung fu class and got along like best friends with every single being in the world. My hair even looked good!
Thursday I skipped exercise, blogged 4 hours, worked on guitar only 30 minutes, felt like a bit of a twit over my previous blog post, wasn’t quite patient enough with Kelly and she threw a fit, no — a ROYAL FIT in the grocery store, of which I’ll not be darkening the doors again for probably four years. Maybe five. Or ten. (Should both be sufficiently aged by then for us not to be recognized.)
Did I mention my hair looked like crap on Thursday? I seriously advise not chopping your bangs in dim light with dull scissors after an 8-oz glass of wine.
Yesterday (Friday,) she woke with fever and puked a bit. I got to play nurse, did a little guitar, a little bloggin’. And LOTS of sleeping, yes!!!
Today? Too early to tell. I remain optimistic. She’s much better – eating us out of house and home.

So far we’ve baked cookies, heated cider, decorated the tree, skated on ice, scampered along the Trail of Lights, sat on Santa’s lap, wrapped and sent presents, sent cards, plugged in the outdoor lights, which I keep in the trees year ’round, (only have to put them up again in 11 months anyway,) saw a wonderful church Christmas play, gave money, made a gingerbread house, attended her piano recital… yet, I still want to do more! Caroling on our block tonight or tomorrow night and Church on Christmas Eve, of course. But what else? Any more yule fest SUGGESTIONS?

Today…
Last week…
Two weeks ago…
I don’t know why gas has dropped so much lately but I have to admit the short-term part of me really likes this. Oh, the crazy luxuries I’ve been buying lately — milk, bread and eggs. Hamburger. Dish soap!
The long-term part of me knows we need to free ourselves from oil dependancy, like Brazil. I wonder if we ever will?

How’d I get to be Jannie Funster? Funny you should ask.
Jannie’s the nickname for my unusual first name of Bla-bla-bla. (Back in school I had everybody call me Jan so I wouldn’t feel so weird. Sorry, Mom.)
Right out of college I married what’s-his-name but off to Texas with my landlord did I run. Married the landlord and changed my last name to his almost 17 years ago.
Couple years ago I fell in with the Funsters. After we amicably went our own musical ways, I vascillated between Jannie Funster and Jannie Sue (my middle name,) for my site’s name, because my solo songs are not all of a funny nature and would I get pelted with limp carrots and day-old pizza for not living up to audience’s funstering expectations?
Did consider my married surname but the E at the end of Jannie clashes with the E at the start of my landlord’s last name most unharmoniously for optimum web address readability. In the end I decided to stay with Jannie Funster for fear of losing some of my then 27 web fans.
So Jannie Funster it is.
Or just Jannie 🙂
And because everyone’s an axe-wielding nut out there I cannot divulge my true name, altho I’m sure it’s all out there in Cyberland somewhere to be found, anyway.
So that’s my name story. Exciting, isn’t it? What’s yours?
