This weekend is the children's hospital's annual fundraising fair, which also has a huge flea market, plant sale and bake sale, so I will be sharpening my elbows and getting there early. Then I might invite myself over to megan's to meet her new cat, and then Sunday is brunch and a movie with some other friends.
All right, no one's killing folk today, on account of our very tight schedule.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There was an article in the NY Times about a week ago that suggested calling "Mom" on lost cell phones, on the theory that mothers will probably know how to reach the kid and are used to fixing things for them.
My mom's not mom on my phone. Nor Mummy, which is what I actually call her. I guess speed dial might be a good shot, not that that gets you to my family either.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
My mom's not mom on my phone.
Mine neither. I'd probably call the most recent # on the call log on the theory that that person would probably know where they were when the phone was lost.

I can haz music tonight. BOUNCE BOUNCE!
Ummm, sorry, slightly random as folks have moved on from the "whatcha doin this weekend stuff", so to be on topic - when I've found a phone I go through the most recently dialed. Has only happened twice, but that did the trick.

ooh thanks, msbelle! I think those flat black knobs would work. I'm pretty sure.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I have Mom, Dad, and Parents in the phone, but they wouldn't know where I was necessarily. Nor would the last person I called, since I go days without making a phone call!

I'm driving my folks down to New Orleans in a few hours for a family wedding. I think my gift to the bride will be not snapping and doing away with her great aunt and uncle during the next four days. (I love my parents, but that much time cooped up with them in a van or hotel room lacks only Ray Wise popping in to taunt me about it.)
