Ha! I had the same (but directly opposite) problem at first with Edinborough.

My aunt wrote my mother about the Nice Ironman and how possibly she and I could do it next year. Cue hysterical laughing on my part. I asked her to postpone the fantasy a year and I might be able to make it 1/2 through the bike course.

Oy. I got almost no sleep last night. Today will be fun, won't it.

Sox, glad you're back.

I knew going in that my free ride was courtesy of my bringing a portion of the entertainment

I don't know what your definition of free ride is, but your descriptions have not equaled my idea of a free ride vacation.

vw, glad the pirate party was a hit!

I lived in FL and my sister went to FSU ('94) and I think she was even part of the marching band at one point, but the football talk goes right over my head.

askye, I hope your F2F goes as swimmingly as your Ear2Ear do.

I read 3 books and went to a wedding far away this weekend. I should have done some cleaning. Guess I should hop to that, huh.

Huh. I got a paycheck from the job I quit on Labor Day. It's a paycheck I didn't work for.

Might not be a mistake, it might be that their pay periods are three weeks behind??

Sox, glad you're back.

me too! when do you have time to play with paper and inter-connected tubes?

Welcome back, Sox. It sound like our parental units had a nice visit over the weekend. Mom said Tucker was sitting on their bed when they went up, and stayed sleeping between them the whole night.

That might be all the posting I get to do today...work (and my tendency to procrastinate) have caught up with me. Have a good one, Bitches!

Sparky and Laura, you know how much I love to watch you work, but if you haven't got your health, you haven't got anything. Take care of yourselves, lovelies.

I'm in my office watching kids bring in stuff for demonstration speeches. Frankly, I don't like them, but the kids love them, so I do them. I know 2 of the 4 groups scheduled for today will be ready to go, the other 2? I'm not so sure. I have a back-up worksheet planned just in case.

Bran muffin:

And, I feel kinda sticky today. I had a slounge day on Saturday. Sunday afternoon, I went to take a shower and the water knob came off in my hand. Turning on the water is impossible without the knob. So, I washed my hair in the kitchen sink last night and washed bits in the bathroom sink this morning. I haven't had a proper shower since Friday.

I left a message for maintenance yesterday so I hope they get on it today. I went by the management office this morning, and they weren't open yet. That concerns me a bit since it was almost 8 and they usually open at 7:30. I hope they're in today. I don't want to go another day without a proper shower.

Sparky, she was glad not to be chased by toddlers. also, not locked out of the room by Canadians.

you know how much I love to watch you work, but if you haven't got your health, you haven't got anything

ChiKat FTW.

water ma~~~ ChiKat

Sounds like people have to work too hard this week so I am sending out the smooth sailing ma~~~

Matt has two interview today jobma @1130 board time today would be especially appreciated.

Our weekend was low-key, and Matt was more matt-like. The funniest part of the weekend-- my sister telling DH that if he needed to be dope slapped just to give her a call. Poor Dh--no one will let him be mean to himself.

interview~ma for Matt!

I think if possible, when traveling, having the number of parenty-types being one more than the number of kids is the best.

I think a greater than 1:1 ratio is pretty much a good thing for any kid-type situation.
