Because:

(1) It's really freaking hot out.

(2) My baby's new hair style looks frighteningly like the one Jim Carrey sported in "Dumb and Dumber," complete with the too-short and too-straight bangs. I'm thinking about just buzzing it all off before the other toddlers at playgroup start to ostracize him.

(3) The Bloomingdales sale was not as fabulous as advertised, especially since the only Lilly Pulitzer items on the sales rack were in the every-popular size 0 - 6 range. Which, as I pointed out to my ever-optimistic mother, I couldn't fit into, even with the aid of a shoehorn and a bottle of canola oil.

(4) Because of said trip to Bloomies, I didn't get any work done today on the revisions to my new book. Not working makes me itchy and restless.

(5) I have a weird skin allergy to rings. If I wear my wedding band for more than a few hours at a time, as I did today, it gives me a rash.

(6) I've vacuumed the living room rug three times in the past three days, and even so, it's yet again covered with dog hair, cracker crumbs and general grunge.

(7) The grocery store has started charging the usurious price of $9.59 for one 3/4 of a pound of Starbucks coffee. Which isn't even that good to begin with, but better than anything else one can get locally and easily.

Screw it, I'm going to bed.
