We could go do something fun on Sunday before 2 and after 7 or so
I wanna hurt you, but I can't resist the sinister attraction of your cold and muscular body!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Anyone seen the icky story about the twins floating around in the news today? Am I the only one detecting more than a whiff of "this guy my cousin knows once knew this girl who..." about it?

Yup. Not that I'm doubting that such a thing could happen, but this particular instance fails the sniff test for all the press it's getting.

It SEEMS like real people in real jobs... and it is BBC.

My induction in the early am led to a baby at about 3 in the afternoon.
Heh. My induction on Saturday led to a baby on Tuesday.
Weekend:
Tonight - go home, filled with relief that week is over. Order pizza w/ chicken & rosemary potatoes for dinner.
Saturday - haircut, lunch at place that's rumored to have chicken-fried steak that might meet DH's and my exacting Okie and Dixie standards.
Sunday - sing solo in choir at church, that is, if I don't faint from stage fright because 250 people or so per service are listening to me, just me, after which I shall kick myself around a bit, flail in self-consciousness at how reedy my voice sounds in the top half of my secure range, and vow never to sing solos again.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I bet you'll be great, Susan.

Our wings are not tired.
It is really wonderful that you are burying the fright to sing this solo, Susan. Is this the first time doing a solo? If so it will be easier next time. It is such an honor.

I haven't sung a solo since I was 18 or so.
And I'm not sure it counts as an honor when I volunteered to do it! I wanted to try it because it's a roots/Southern gospel piece ("Down to the River to Pray"). I figured I'm the only Southerner in the choir, I grew up on music like that in church, etc. Only I don't think I sound Southern when I sing it. Just squeaky, full of stage fright, and wishing the thing was written in A or B instead of D.

Good luck, Susan!
Weekend plans...hmmm...well, I didn't do any of the work I was supposed to, today. So, probably some of that. I'm debating if I feel up to going two-stepping tonight--I really want to, because I love it, but I'm feeling achey and slow.
And I think I need to go to the DMV and finally switch over my info, tomorrow. If I can get up in the morning. This would be one of the reasons to not go dancing tonight...
Tomorrow evening, a swing dance class, and if I can find people to go, there's a new dyke dance party (like, hip hop and pop, none of this silly actual steps business).
We'll see. I just discovered a place two blocks from me that I knew did coffee also does savory crepes. Today's special was pumpkin, sage, and chevre. It sounded yummy. I may have to try one this weekend. Possibly get some pho.
Also, I have a lot of cookies in my kitchen that I made last night and dont' want to eat by myself. Hrm.
