It really sucks.<\/p>\n<p>However, here is a list of things that are currently making me happy:<\/p>\n<p>*Watching <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vancouver2010.com\/olympic-curling\/\">Curling<\/a> on the Olympics.  I watched an hour of it yesterday in between my napping and I found it completely intriguing.  I have no idea what the heck was going on, but boy, I couldn&#8217;t take my eyes off of it.  I need to learn more about it so I can become a hard-core curling fan.<\/p>\n<p>*Having a freshly organized shelf of cds.  I will be the person who buys cds up until they stop selling them in stores.  I just can&#8217;t get behind the idea of spending money on a downloaded song.  I need the cd in my hand so that I can leaf through the liner notes.  I&#8217;m fuddy like that.<\/p>\n<p>\n<center><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/hiptopiecesquares\/4369572678\/\" title=\"a clean house by Hip To Piece Squares, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2793\/4369572678_5d58d5ce89.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" alt=\"a clean house\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p>*Knitting socks!
