Waaah! Weekend too busy!

Tonight all three of us are going to a party with some of DH's friends, which I have a nervous feeling is going to end up, despite the best of everyone's intentions, as me wrangling AB while DH talks to all the people he knows and I don't.

Tomorrow morning is the annual brunch and Easter egg hunt at AB's daycare. I know the other parents to nod and wave to at drop-off and pick-up, but that's about it.

Tomorrow afternoon I'm supposed to be at a first gathering for a local chapter of the Historical Novel Society, only I'm kinda dreading it because the woman who's planning it is one of those self-published authors who preaches the Gospel of Self-Publishing and expects to be treated just the same as an author with a book coming out from Penguin or Tor or wherever. She's all upset because the bookstore we're meeting at isn't rolling out the red carpet for us when none of us are published yet. I'm just not sure I'm in the mood to deal with that level of delusion.

And, Sunday morning is church, which is at least low-stress, and Sunday afternoon I have a district caucus delegate training session, which I now have to attend, because the nomination is still undecided (never thought we'd still be going on into April), and if we Obama delegates don't show up at the district caucus on 4/5, delegates that were awarded to him at the precinct level could actually flip, and I can't let that happen because I have a Responsibility to Democracy, since by volunteering to be like the third alternate delegate, on some minute level I'm a representative with the power and responsibility to speak for the other voters of my precinct.

So, I can't dodge my Responsibility to Democracy, but I sure wish I could skip the rest! That's way too many strangers for one 2 1/2-day period. Right now I'm tempted to just stay home on Saturday. I don't think AB is actually expecting to go to the egg hunt. I've just seen the sign-up sheet every day at daycare and felt guilty about it because I so badly hate the idea of going.

The quiz one is so great because it's totally character-driven.

I found the PIVOT scene on YouTube! PIVOT!

Yes!

TRANSPONSTER!

(My friends & I took to calling the elliptical machine at the gym that.)

He declares it the best episode ever and we have to concur.

"Joey's favorite food" "Sandwiches!"

"What is that noise!?!?!" "YOU!"

"Transponster!" "That's not even a word!"

Have my NKOTB peeps seen this Song Chart? (Aimee, I'm looking at you) [link]

most days when I am home, I take a nap. 20- 30minutes makes all the difference in the world.

I think my favorite is when Rachel and Phoebe find out that Chandler and Monica are doing it, and they try to mess with them, and then Chandler and Monica figure that out, and ad nauseam.

Phoebe seeing Chandler and Monica from Ross' apartment makes me lose it every time. "My eyes! My EYES!"

Uberweiss!

Susan that is terrible. When I gave up hope of getting my first book published, and announced its release in self-published form (releasing it electronically, and in print via LuLu which costs me nothing), a number of people wrote to congratulate me. And of course they had the best intentions, but I gritted my teeth because self-publishing without even an institute behind me was an admission of failure for that book. I've moved on and am completing a my second book, on grounds that we can't all be Allysons or Jilli, and the usual path to success is to write a few failed books before one is sucessful. But it a lot of people don't understand the distinction between self-publication and real publication. (If you are Stephen King, there is no distinction, for the rest of us not so much.)

So I'm not the only one still thumbing through the song charts I see.
