she don't use jelly

Last year I avoided complaining about the weather all winter.  It was a resolution of sorts.  Midwesterners are strong, resilient, and capable of handling whatever the brutal sub-zero wasteland brings.  That was last year.  This week, I don't want to get out of bed.  I find myself still wearing my scarf and goofy hat hours after I get home from work.  I have been turning the dial all the way hot in the shower, conservation be damned.  I've cooked dinner in every night just so I can stand near an auxiliary heat source.  Blerg. 

I needed a serious pick-me-up today.  Listening to a particularly moving radio show about Vic Chestnutt sent me into a mini-breakdown before 9:00 am.  I opted for creamy peanut butter, sliced bananas, and honey on whole grain bread and a quick dance party.  I'll take these toppings on a bagel, toast, english muffin...pretty much any wheaty bread product over a pbj anyday.
