i'm wishing my hamster pooped money

the weather lately is the dingy, wet mop i used to use to clean restaurant floors. gray, cold, wet, heavy, etc. there's lots of snow and hardly any sun, making me feel like a wilting plant.

i've added new vitamins to my diet (aka i finally started taking vitamins regularly). one women's one-a-day plus an extra dose of b12 for "normal brain function." this must mean that before the b12 supplement my brain was functioning abnormally, but then i didn't need an 11 dollar vitamin bottle to that.

i might need a whole bottle daily of b12 to keep up with my kids. the average person has 2.5 children. i've got 491. today, one of the 2nd graders shared his thoughts with me, giving me what is now this entry's subject. "i'd be rich," he said when i asked him why. why did i even question him? if i had a hamster i'd wish he pooped money, too. no two ways about it.

my parents visited chicago this weekend and took will and me to see john prine at the chicago theater. such a beautiful theater - so ancient looking and ornate and shimmery. and john prine is my idea of a real concert. no pyro, no dancing, no costumes. just a couple of men and their instruments playing great music and singing the truth. we came home and played cranium and they left the next day. will and i had a lot of fun.

i've decided i'm sticking to the lower case. i'm not lazy, i'm maybe a bit indie (that could be why - indie type people love the lower case), but mostly i just like the way it looks. no caps, no big deal. just nice, even-toned, relaxed writing, right? i don't care what anyone else thinks.
