I've been sitting here thinking about my neighbors running the country- L would have us adopting all the strays,spend a lot on the military , an have to be reminded that school spending is what pays for teachers. J cares nothing for politics,but as long as she can work nights, paint in tropical colors and do hula she'd have fun traveling and doing the diplomatic thing. M would us have daily jam sessions. where he would tell the same jokes , no matter how often you have heard them. His best trait -- he is really good at making people volunteer.P would make everybody go green . and stop calling spanish revival by that name ,because it isn't. and I haven't even got to the truely eccentric
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

I'm not mad at you for voting your conscience, Liese. With the popular vote going the way it did in 2004, I don't think Kerry would have won even if everyone who voted for a third party candidate had picked him instead.
In other news, brunch. Om nom nom.

This day/weekend have gone by far too quickly.
I did not do all the reading I was supposed to do. I did, however, make a crumble.

In that video, the kitty looks like he might be on Zyrtec,
Heh. The nick Zeb for Zebulon is still in the running. But WHY did I have to think of Loki?! I named one cat unwittingly after a god, I should have learned my lesson.

In non-cat news, I got some jeans and a blouse. Blouse isn't what I was looking for, but it is something I'll wear anyway. Jeans were, as usual, insane sizing. That's usual with Old Navy. Try on 3 different pairs in the same size and cut and they all fit differently. These were looser through the leg than I wanted, but they stay up. I think I'm between (an ON averaged) 8 and 10.
I also managed to delete everything off the old computer. Not that I really worried my brother would snoop, but just one less thing for him to deal with. He'll probably do a total reinstall anyway.
Somewhat stupid question: I'm flying out there this week. Should I ship it fedex/ups or just check it? I'm tempted to do the latter, but a little worried about sticky fingers...though my brand-new roomba came through fine.

I have banana bread in the oven, have done some house-cleaning, and had the assessor over to measure and take pictures. Look valuable, house!
Now I get to try to update my website. Pray for me.

Seriously, this sounds like such a recipe for disaster.

Right now, my fave ep from S1 is the clubbing ep; it starts out a bit contentious, but ends up with everyone uniting in love of club music (and E).
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! Without E, no less.

Lesson plans are almost done and then I can print them. Next is take a shower. Then read journals and, maybe, do some paper grading. Maybe I'll even have the time to do a little reading before bed.
I'm seriously thinking about taking Friday off as a "Mental Health Day" (aka get away from DD day). Hub has the day off and we are thinking about showing one of the cars next Saturday at a local Mustang show. We could get the car ready and I might actually get some extra sleep!
