I am a self-empowered, radiant jewel

"No mooing tonight?" I ask him. "I could have mooing 24/7 if wanted, Mom," he says, shaking the hair out of his eyes so he can see the screen. "Does that excite you?"

Well, something's got to, I guess. Meanwhile I can't see the screen to type this because Spike is sitting directly in front of it. Move, you.

She's mad at me because when she asked if I'd help blow-dry her hair I asked her back if she'd combed it. "Never mind." Slam.

But the bills are paid, the kitchen is clean and in 20 minutes The OC is on, and it's a new one. Plus I've got magazines to look at and some catalogs to not order anything from. God, I love Thursday nights. When I was in college, Thursday night was party night and we'd usually sit in a big circle and pass around joints we'd made from the bag of pot that somebody paid $15 for; $20 if it was seedless. We'd all laugh like maniacs. It never occurred to us that what we were doing was illegal. That is to say, we didn't care. Everybody got high. It was cheap fun and it was the '70s.

Now, of course, my fun is considerably more tame. A lapful of catalogs, The New Yorker, and The OC. A glass of pinot noir. It has been a very, very long day and a very, very long week. I'm waiting for you to change my life, and patience is required.

This was my horoscope for today:
Anticipation can be exhilarating for a short while, but if it goes on longer, it's practically coma-inducing. When you find yourself waiting and waiting, repeat this mantra: "I am a self-empowered, radiant jewel."
