Congratulations, Auntie VW! The nephew is an utter cutiehead!
I would be there right now.

I know I'm really biased, but he really seems to have skipped part of the newborny stage, right? He's totally adorable. And alert. And just precious. I can't wait to meet him. Damn Miracleman still working on that telaporter, so I can't use it to go right now.

Along with a coupon for a dollar off a bag I could have used A HALF AN HOUR AGO. *sigh*
That's annoying. Every time I buy a big thing of paper towels at Target the give me a coupon for them, and by the time I need them again the coupon has expired or I have lost it.

Ok. How horrible is it for me to cancel my plans tonight for this reason: I'm finally getting things done, and I don't want to stop?

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
So, this morning I got up and ran 2 miles. I managed to average about 12 minutes per mile, and I ran more than I walked, unlike the last 2 times. The downside? I am SORE at the moment. Need to schedule some bodywork.
Tomorrow I am doing my long run, 3 miles, and I'm certain I won't be doing 12 minute miles. But I am very very proud of myself today.
Also, I may have met a boy. Well, I met a boy, and maybe we'll have Coffee. I think this is funny, since I made meeting a boy this year my birthday wish.

Congrats on new nephewtude, vw! And also, vw, I have cancelled plans for exactly that reason. Sometimes you just have to do what you have to do.
Love the tattoo, SA!
Yay meeting a boy, d!

I did end up canceling. I feel badly, but I may actually get my laundry done. And that would be a nice thing since I leave for SF at ass o'clock Wednesday morning. And my apartment needs to be in a decent enough state that I can give Upstairs!Neighbor a key to get in and turn on the heat if she needs to. And, and, and...well, you get the drift.
Go d with the great run!

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
beth, was it you that postulated there may have been some survival benefits to AD/HD traits in ages past, and it's modern life that makes those traits get in the way?
yup. and your story is one of the ways . I think also in a more primitive time - someone that got distracted by things might see danger before I do.
Congrates, to the vw family. new family members can be fun. and staying home is a good thing esp. when you are getting things done
nice tat and nice job , sa. I'd call it a good week.
and I wish you more good running d.

I gardened this morning. Fear me.

I just got back from volunteering at the Decatur Beer Festival. My thoughts:
OMG, people want t-shirts. When I close my eyes I'm taking a twenty from someone and giving them back a five. The other volunteer and I sold something like 150 t-shirts in three hours.
I still have a red hospital bracelet on that says "Over 21."
My favorite beer was Tommyknocker Maple Nut Brown Ale. Does that seem right to you?
