On being "whelmed"

Chastity: I know you can be overwhelmed, and you can be underwhelmed, but can you ever just be whelmed?
Bianca: I think you can in Europe.
(From the movie "10 Things I Hate About You")


The meal: Pecan-crusted Honey Dijon Salmon with asparagus and a lovely helping of orzo pasta salad Friend S sent me home with the other night.

It was the first gorgeous day in quite awhile filled with lots of running by the bay and running of outside errands to bask in all the warm sunlight and signs of spring.

When I can enjoy a day like this, it usually means it's followed by a dreary Monday contemplating the overwhelming checklist of "To-Do's" in comparison to my underwhelming performance in accomplishing the day's tasks.

Case of the Mondays to follow? If I had to ask a Magic 8 Ball that question, it would probably answer: "It is decidedly so."
