Why did I volunteer myself for helping a disorganized friend paint today? Because I felt so sorry for her (genuine) sob story, I guess. And I like helping, in general, but she's so disorganized that I end up grinding my teeth because it will be done in stupid ways that could be so much more efficient, and that she can't be gently argued out of, either.

Wesley Snipes gets gets three years. Yipes.

Ugh.

I'm in Denver at a conference. Which I am presenting at but apparently not registered for. My flight landed at 12:25 AM, but we were trapped on the plane until 1:00 because they couldn't get the jetway to work right. This was especially troubling because my seat was directly across from the bathroom in the back. It was like sitting in the back of a Greyhound Bus.

The upside was I was able to get one of two cabs and get to the hotel. Which is a huge blessing.

I have a session to attend then lunch then I'm presenting then I'm going home. I miss home.

Oh dear. I don't know if they can get my armoir into the new apartment. Movers came at 7:30, a full hour early.

I'm discombobulated. Ruby is safely stowed away in my neighbor's apartment, where it's quiet and there is a mesmerizing fishy on the counter...i sure hope it's there when I go in to take her home.

I can't believe how friggin traumatic this all is. I feel like one of those collectors, and right now people are taking all my stuff.

Kristen took me to IKEA to get shades and roman blinds. I was soup-for-brains. I just pointed at what I liked and she dealt with the fixtures and measuring.

If I had no friends, I don't know how I would do all this shit.

Skipping to post that, according to Kat "If the Apocalypse Comes, Beep Me" Apr 26, 2005 9:57:12 pm PDT today is Isaac's birthday. Can you believe he's already three whole years old?

Happy birthday, big boy! And lots of wishes for your mom and all your family!

When trying to empty my shredder, I managed to spill a whole bunch of shredder confetti all over my carpet. Trying to clean should not end up making more of a mess.

but it often does.

happy birthday Issac - who is growing too fast.

Isaac being three implies Frances is way old indeed!

Stopped into a random place to get a pedicure. Most of the west side seems to have had the same idea. Maybe next time I'll be less random.

I'm dying to know how Allyson is doing!
