I just got a crack in my windshield from a rock from a big truck on the highway.

sj, did you happen to get the trucking company name and any identifying numbers on the truck? Up here (insert canuckistan joke), companies will often respond to complaint letters with compensation, if you have details.

Thanks for the towl snaps and kicks to get me going. I'm sure they helped.

One class down, one to go. Let's see if I can get my homework done on time...

I'm hungry, and I don't want my yogurt shake. I want real food. Maybe some mashed potatoes...hmmm...must consider...

I should work too. Instead, I'm going to fob the client off with excuses and tell him he'll have it by Monday.

I stayed up late reading. Then I couldn't sleep. Then Kara came and crawled into bed with me, guaranteeing no sleep, and now it's morning and I don't know where my night went.

Good luck on the house, Susan. I hope everything goes smoothly.

Anne, I second the massage suggestion. There's a massage school here that I've been meaning to check out. Inexpensive, but possibly even better than Greg's darn good attempts. Maybe there's one near you.

I'm thinking of eating oreos for breakfast now. That's probably a bad thing.

vw, I hope you're in the shower or on your way to school or wherever you're supposed to be.

Maybe some mashed potatoes...hmmm...must consider...

Mashed potato potato pancakes!!! I just make a mashed potato ball and fry it in a little olive oil, flattening as I go. So simple and delicious and I totally want one now!

One of the departments brought in breakfast this morning. It was all carby sweet stuff from BJs. Which fine...but I was craving some salty breakfast treats after listening to a story on NPR about how Freud's nephew popularized eggs & bacon as the "all American breakfast."

Oh, I LOVE potato pancakes! One of my favorite things at this restaurant we go to all the time. Mmmmmmm... Now I want one!

Speaking of food... Sail made me the most amazing cottage cheese pancakes last week. Was it just last week? It was!

And now I'm sad again.

But - vw, one class down is of the good. Go you!

Deena, any chance for a nap today? I can't imagine taking on your two little ones without any sleep.

One of the best foods EVER (if you like the components that is) are bite-sized potato pancakes topped with smoked oysters and a little sour creamy sauce. My friend invented them for our friend who had stated that her #1 Favorite Food was Leftover Mashed Potato Potato Pancakes. They're a perfect New Year's Day Brunch item.

If a professor asks, "Please give a dictionary definition of 'misogynous,'" would you think that means just look it up in the dictionary and type what you find? Or write up a definition in your own words, like you'd find in a dictionary? It just seems to easy to just look it up in the dictionary for 8 points.

Oh, mashed potato pancakes sound lovely.

Nicole, probably when Aidan goes down for his nap I'll get to snatch an hour.

Yum -- almost like blini! (Which are tiny pancakes [no potato] with sour cream and caviar.)
