Early ,'Objects In Space'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I have today off and Monday off. Today I'm going to lunch in the city & to Nordstrom's, and at some point this weekend I'm going to see Indiana Jones. Also I need to do a lot of running.
And I have to re-apply for my current job this weekend, since they've announced it as a permanent position, so if I want to keep it for more than the next 8 months I have to reapply. Woot. I better make the cut!
We're off to Richmond this weekend because it is my nephew's 14th birthday. So my weekend is cake and trying to teach my puppy how to use the doggie door at my sister's house. Sassafras is uncertain about going through the wee (pun!) door.
DH is out of town at a conference till tomorrow afternoon, so tonight it's me and Annabel, and then tomorrow we'll go to the airport to get him. No big plans for the weekend--we have M's tix for Monday night, and we might stop by the Folklife Festival Sunday or Monday.
This weekend will be mostly staying home with a sick kid, unfortunately. I'm hoping D's fever breaks before Sunday so we can at least have one day to get outside.
Audit: 98% Of Iraq Contractors Failed To Comply With Fraud Regulations
See, this is just another example of the liberal media focusing on what's wrong in Iraq. Where are the articles on the progress in Iraq? Why are there no articles about the 2% of contractors who did comply with fraud regulations?
Getting my hair cut and colored today, then this weekend is house-cleaning, gym, gardening, and going to the new Indy.
Going to a party Sunday, and otherwise hanging out and watching the Mars landing.
otherwise hanging out and watching the Mars landing.
I don't know if I'll be back for that. If I am, a watch-n-post could be fun....
I find them all the time (oh, students), and I never know what to do -- I mean, it could be the person who lost it, but on the other hand, if it's not, then I feel like I'm really invading their privacy. Ack.
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.
That's what I did with students, I can't be bothered to wait for it to ring. Plus, if you find a wallet, wouldn't you open it to try to return it?
As for privacy, I'm trying to return something that I presume is important and that someone lost, so they can just get over it.
Memorial Day Weekend usually means the first big tournament of the season for Emmett and this weekend is no exception. So driving down to Twin Creeks on Saturday for two games - second game at 8:30pm (WTF?). Stay at hotel, two games on Sunday, EM spends the night with Emmett if they make it to Monday's games. JZ goes solo with Matilda Saturday night and might go see her Mom then.
Self feeding: Matilda refuses sippy cups. She likes to drink out of a real glass. She does like using the spoon but she's generally getting about half of it on her clothes. But she does seem to have that thing where she wants to do what the big people do. (Emmett did not have that thing and would be still happily crapping in diapers and sucking on a binky if we hadn't removed those options. Emmett is about easy and immediate gratification.)
