brenda, is that this week's Without a Trace, the one with DDK? Do you still have it on the TiVo? Our power and cable went out on CSI & WAT night, and we missed them.

Beverly, they were both already reruns, so not sure when they'll be back around again.

Woke up unnecessarily early, which does mean I have time to screw around this morning, which I guess is a good thing. I mean, I could start working on my paper, but eh. Paper time is this afternoon, not now!

Me, I actually woke up "late", i.e. 8 AM, which made the cats very grumpity indeed. There was meowing and resentful stares, but luckily I come from flinty-hearted stock.

I slept in late and had odd workish dreams. I am trying to get myself awake enough to shower and go buy groceries.

Health vibes to those that need em.

and insent ita.

I really have to work me ass off today to get my chores under control. t 1st world problem My housekeeper got sick before Thanksgiving and her school schedule is too hectic next semester so she quit. t /1st world problem So my house is a designated disaster area and next weekend I have an unknown number of people showing up for the big Chrismas dinner. Also it would be nice to have clean clothes for the work and school week ahead. And the Christmas shopping has a deadline element to it. And I think the pool has things growing in it because since the hurrican blew the screening away the leaves and such blow into it. Yuck.

So I told the family if we all pulled together and attacked rooms in teams and busted our butts today tomorrow can be all play. We can go out on the boat, go to the movies, whatever the reward they want. But today all 3 of them are my servants.

So there.

Timelies!

this is what has happened so far this morning:

- cat jumped up on the table next to me and finding no space he stabbed me in the finger
- DH has CNN on and I just heard President Bush's morning address. I think I threw up in my mouth a little

So far it is better than yesterday morning when I fell down the stairs.

Step away from the Bush Megan. This might be more uplifting politics - [link]

eta: made me grin anyway

I made the chaos in my house all by myself, and yet I think I need at least three other people to straighten it up.

I discourage people from reading the comments after the article Laura linked too. There are too many crazies on both sides in this country.

There are too many crazies on both sides in this country.

This is a true fact.

I would like a nap now, but I guess it's too late -- it's now time to actually start my day and not just play with iTunes and my new phone. Ah well.

Question moved to tech.

Timelies all!

Healthma to ita and Tommy.

Currently in my pjs. Soon I will shower, dress and go out. I need to pick up a book at the library(yay!), go to Toys 'R US to pick up gifts for the nephews(Ugh- not to the actually buying, but to the having to brave the crowds) and get gift cards at Borders. Whee. Tonight we go see Damn Yankees at Arena stage!
