so yes, i'm at the office, but having a hard time feeling productive today. its about the sixth day in a row its rained. it makes me sleepy. actually, i enjoy a good rainy day, as long as i can be at home curled up on my big couch with a book (well duh, not watching tv because i don't have cable..*sniff*). the darkness of this past week has reminded me how much i hate artificial, especially overhead lighting. one of my favorite things about casa de' tcf is the abundance of windows and the way natural light floods in them in all seasons, an important factor in fighting off the evils of SAD (seasonal affective disorder).
in the spirit of project optimism, here are some other ways to fight off the dreary day blahs.
-call a friend and do mad libs over the phone (if you don't have a mad libs book, there are several options available online, even better, write your own)
-learn to cook or know where to find your favorite comfort foods (tcf's kitchen is always open for business)
-invest in a piece of jenny cartee pottery, especially a coffee or beer mug, love it, horde it, use it.
-embrace the rain, rain is only sad if you're trying to stay dry, beat it at its own game, start off just standing in it, find a good puddle to splash in, do a little dance, don't worry, no one can see you. come in dry off, have some nice hot chai in your jenny cartee mug.
-be mindful of what you read. i suggest nonsense books or ones that just make you feel good. try hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, eat mangoes naked, rural studio or hope for the flowers.
-on a day that's not so gloomy, put together a box of funness, stash away candles, cd's, pictures, jokes, or reading material that makes you especially happy. open it and enjoy it on a day like today. its like giving yourself a present, and everyone loves presents.
this optimistic tidbit is brought to you by the fine folk at project optimism.

i know, its pretty impressive. having my own road and all... i agree, fall is my favorite season and i heart snowy days myself. tripp takes pretty pictures in the snow.
i heart those pictures you took in the snow in march 2004.
yeah yeah, i caught that after i wrote it, shh... dont tell anyone i was a psych major... its a good thing im a superhero and not a psychologist huh?
i'm trying to make that picture my profile picture but i can't figure out how. it doesn't have a url. sadness
great, now my blog is dating and i'm not.
aw... poor tripp are you not satisfied with affections/comments from harper and mysterious ny girl? now i think you're just being greedy
Why don't you ever call me up on rainy days anymore?
lol... your blog is dating and no you!! that was good stuff!!
I'd have to offer this criticism to the nice little tid bits you have offered up... while curling up with a good book is ok for raint days, I would suggesy curling up with a good friend... Mr Dependabe gets lonely on rainy days too and could use the company... :)
*in my best homer simpson voice* "mmmm... gravy"
i believe i'm growing mold already... and really, what sort of superhero has mold?
why is the admiring over?
wow, so much has happened since i last checked! so is the admiring back on? what took you so long to send a picture? when do i get to see it? so now that you have satisfied the necessary requirements for dating purposes, does this mean there is a relationship in the future? even worse... are you getting ready to have your membership revoked to the nga club? *gasp*
whoa harper, you're hot! i'd do you.
so what's this about superboy dave and bro-harper?
hehe, you said "tushy"
ps... thanks :)
