Can too much TV fry your brain?
Seriously. Trapped at home without a car, laundry spinning and rinsing away, face poofy and brain mushy from 13 hours of sleep the night before - it was really the only thing I had energy to do. 3 hours of Top Chef, 4 hours of So You Think You Can Dance with an hour or two of HGTV thrown in for good measure.
Brain Check - What is the square root of 5684? Please, like I knew that when I was in school. Ok, an easier one...What is the Capital of Indiana? Gary? Umm, its at least how the song goes. Ok, ok. One more. Name all of the Best Picture Films starting in 2000 - Gladiator, A Beautiful Mind, Chicago, Lord of the Rings, Million Dollar Baby, Crashed, The Departed and No Country for Old Men. I so rock. Brain intact, check!
I do other things too. Like talked endlessly on the phone with friends I missed too much. Oh and then there were the in person visits. And who can forget the much needed mani and the pedi.
See, totally productive. Come on, like you would have done it any different. I will have plenty of activity starting tomorrow when I restart my trip taking cars, planes, and shuttles to reach a tiny little ranch on the outskirts of Sedona in search of my inner self (at least I think that's where she's hanging out - I hope so. I paid a lot of money to go get her) and hopefully find not heat stroke (its 100 degrees there), rattlesnake bites (they grow up to 6 feet in the desert) or Shirley McClain (I am all for multiple lives, but right now I'm trying to focus on this one).
Not sure about my connection in the desert (what do you think the changes of highspeed wifi will be at a place with no tv's?!), but I promise to update my faithful fans as often as I can (can't you see me now at the top of a rock, one foot in the air, arms waving, repeating "Can you hear me now? What about now? now?")
Get along little doggies. Happy Trails...
