I need to get my ass in gear. Ben and Julia will be home shortly. Julia has a T-Ball game (there was never, and I am glad my daughter has both more athletic ability and opportunities than I did, but there was never, ever a more drawn out sport than T-Ball for kindergarten aged children) tonight. Ben has a baseball game first thing tomorrow morning. Julia has Daisy Scouts (pre-Brownies in the Girl Scout Pantheon) halfway through Ben's game. Later, Julia's invited to a birthday party which is at the same time as her T-ball game tomorrow. The birthday party is winning. Then we're having a High Tea at our church, tomorrow afternoon. I was going to bake for it, although I didn't sign up to do so--this was going to be stealth baking.
I have to make supper early, tonight. Scott is in bed, because he worked from 4:30 yesterday afternoon until I disremember what time this morning, but I picked him up at the Orange Line station at 11:30. I don't know where Julia's T-Ball team T-shirt is, and I have to have it ready for her game. I have a headache, and I know my kids are going to wake up my poor husband, who only went to bed at noon.

I have a shitload to do since I'm only here 2 days next week. And yet...here I am. And 15 minutes til lunch.
I have the same problem, Debet. I know I have about an hour of work I will need to do later, but I have to wait for other people first. I will also get other work, and probably more than I want, but right now, NSM.
I'm just geeky enough to use the names of my own made-up characters.
I have one of those. And a I am a dork who will never-ever-get-laid one (and, as the girl with the Latin screen name, I consider that saying something).
IOCrypticN, I just got wicked good news that I cannot share, for I do not officially know it. But, if you hear a big old "squee!" from Southern Indiana, that was me!

It's Latin? I just thought it was some reference I didn't get. (There are many of these.) Though, for a long time I assumed your RL name was Deborah, and was kind of surprised to find out it wasn't.
I just had a nearly two-hour lunch as a going away thing for my coworker. Now I want a nap. But I suppose I should do actual work, huh?
Yeah. I was going through a Man of La Mancha phase while taking Latin, so, "And maddest of all, to see the world as it is, and not as it should be" became debet esse (it ought to be), for my first screen name, anywhere, and kinda stuck, as no one else seems to be using it.
Large [southern] California quake possible within 30 years
Researchers have calculated a 20 to 70 percent probability that southern California will be hit by a large earthquake in the next 30 years. The forecast is based on the frequency of past events.
Geologists stress, however, that earthquake prediction, in its infancy, is notoriously difficult. Forecasts tend to be very general, specifying a range of decades rather than years or weeks for possible activity.
so, kinda vague-ish danger (even more vagued-up than The Harverst).
I wonder if there are any Cheese Nip Air Crisps in the snack machine. . .
