Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't have any nighttime meds! I hope I sleep anyway. The main active ingredient in the old-school Nyquil was the booze anyway, right?

In other news, I have a new coworker who could give some of our wee members a run for their money -- she's 4'9"! But wears enormous heels all the time, apparently, because I thought she was just regular short.

ita, we have to drop my mom off at LAX for her flight. We're leaving here at 8. Will you be up for visitors (and TV pick up) after we drop her off?

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".

So what are people doing this weekend?

Tonight: DH an I are watching TV with the dog. Not that exciting, however, DH has been on midnight shifts all week and school has kicked my butt his week.

Tomorrow: Nail apt at 9:30. I'm trying to decide on using "Hyde In the Dark" from Creative Nails Imperial Anarchy collection, or "Bruise" from Urban Decay. Then DH wants to go to the classic car show at Silver Springs in Ocala. We'll probably go to dinner and, maybe, a movie.

Sunday: lesson plans and tons of paperwork. Exams for the first semester are next week on Thursday and Friday. I still have 1 Exam to write.

I'm having a hard time returning to work after the holidays. Still.

So what are people doing this weekend?

Hmm, I wonder what Sheryl is doing? Heh.

Good grief, msbelle, I hope you feel better soon. Meddling: maybe you can talk Scola into taking Mac to the museum so you can sleep!

Little Suri Cruise is not even 2 yet, but already mom Katie Holmes says, "She's a very strong woman." "She's actually teaching me a lot – probably more than I'm teaching her." "She's very smart and strong," Holmes concluded. "And really magical."

It’s rooted in the idea that children, especially one with a non-traumatic birth, are more theta than people (including children) who have accumulated a bank of engrams. Remember that the philosophy believes in reincarnation. To be born their daughter, well, it’s sort of like Nepalese lamas being discovered at age 3, like that. She’s automatically more magical than other kids. It boils down to a different way of looking at the privilege of money IMHO.

Was this from here? [link]

My birder source reports, “It's a juvenile Red-tailed Hawk. Their tails don't turn red until they are adults. N. Goshawk (mountain forests) and N. Harrier (grasslands/marshes) would be extremely unlikely in an urban setting, but Red-tails are pretty flexible. Red-shouldered, Cooper's, and Sharp-shinned would be the other likely options for an urban hawk."

Plans for the weekend all involve the word "finally":

  • Take down the damned Christmas tree and put away the rest of the decorations (finally)
  • Unpack (finally)
  • Go grocery shopping so that there is actual FOOD in the house (finally)
  • Get the new hard drive installed so that my laptop won't move at a snail's pace (finally)

I also need to fight off the Plague. I am right on the brink of it getting a lot better or a lot worse. I'm really hoping I wake up feeling great in the morning.

Oh lord. I have to take down my tree, too.

Jesse, my sistah in procrastination! There are few things I enjoy less than taking down the Christmas tree. I'm not sure why, exactly.

Also, I ordered Indian food, and it's not going to be here for another 45 minutes. I want it NOW. Now now now. Hungry. Indian food yum.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

broke down and drove across town for pho. Clearly, it was meant to be, since I found a parking space within a block. I have just inhaled their incredible spring rolls. And am waiting for my soup, which will be excellent. I was going to turn my sweater inside out because I am a slob and WILL get it all over me, but there's a great honking tag that will make it very obvious. Sigh. I'd hoped to wear it more than once before the cleaners

This is one of the reasons I don't put UP a Christmas tree--I know that the week or so I had it up and it was makign me happy would be negated by the three months I would have it up after Christmas with me going "god, I need to take that down"

Java, you are welcome up here!! I would take you dancing, and the pho comes with a cream puff! And we could explore.

I procrastinated putting the tree up, too, and it's fake, so I figure it's all good?
