Isn't Daisy Jane in Texas? Ginger, are you forgetting that I'm not in Az anymore? Either way, thank you for thinking of me. Now we just need to hear that DJ is safe and well.

Cuz here in Minnesota, we are having a lovely morning.

Oh, yeah, there is wayyyyyy too much water on the ground in other areas of the state - but here in Faribault, we have been fortunate. The absolute worst of weather systems tend to slide either north or south of us - possibly because of the confluence of the Straight River and the Cannon River, and the way the hills roll around here.

I'm glad it's lovely weather. I just mentally check the Buffista list in my head when I hear about bad weather and the like.

I finally managed to get back to sleep. Max did curl up next to me for a while, but I don't know what happened next since the phone just woke me up. In bad news, I agreed to work on somebody this evening and I really need some time off. In good news, it'll pay really well.

askye, I'm sorry this is such an ordeal for your family. Also that your Aunt W is such a jerk and wants her every wish granted. I like Cashmere's suggested phrasing.

Man, now I think I slept too long as I have that groggy feel. Oh well.

We're having lovely weather here too (whew) - and the river is going down.

I think given the choice between the destructive high winds that Chicago and some of the 'burbs got and the flood. . . I choose the flood. Well, I have been v. little affected by it. I'm sure that if I were one of the people who had to be evaaced out, I might feel differently. But days and possibly weeks w/o electricity . . . that would totally suck.

timelies.

Stayed up way too late last night. And then the stupid phone woke me up way too early. Didn't even leave a message. Probably a wrong number, which is the bulk of the calls on my landline.

grrr.

I think I'm even too gronkie to play xbox. Blah.

t waves

Okay, I think I'm 300 posts behind. Um. Skimmity to the end and hope to catch up later.

Gronklies indeed, Omnis. I have to get myself into the shower so that I can go to the farmers' market for fruit salad ingedients for a party we're going to tonight. See my motivation? It is mighty. If you do see it, please ask it to come home. I kind of need it. Not only for the fruit salad, but also for doing some curricular work today. School starts Monday. Meep.

at least you have a plan of what you are bringing to party. I still dunno.

Yay sleep! I love sleep. Sleep is good and I just had some. Yay me.

Can you put Converse All Stars through the wash? Mine were wet and in a suitcase far too long.
