I am actually looking forward to going back to work, my time off has sort of blown.
I'm can't quite go that far, but I do wonder why I can get more done during a productive two-day weekend than I have been able to with 12 days off.
Also, I'm so sorry to hear 2008 decided to give you one last swift kick on its way out the door, Nora.
Timelies, all. I haven't even really been able to get caught up on the board with my time off (only selected threads).
I've got a sexy Scottish geologist on my tv right now! Science Channel is showing three eps of Hot Rocks, hosted by Dr. Iain Stewart, who is smokin' hot and has a wonderful brogue. The fact that he's educating in an entertaining way is whipped cream on the hot chocolate.
I did not quite finish my to do list yesterday and the parents will be here in about an hour, so:
wash duvet cover and dry in drier to de-cat it - in progress
vacuum my room
clean bathroom
clear and wipe down counters and table - started
bag up items that are getting donated/ebayed and take to storage room (2 grocery carts full, I think a thrift store run is due)
put away all my clothes
and I'll add just to make me feel better
litter boxes
change all sheets
Hee, we are all struck out again.
eta: if I put up my list quick it will get done by msbelle!
sorry, again. I fixed it.
Thanks, msbelle!
I gotta get the kids to the gym today or someone's going to get strangled.
Worst birthday ever. I'm glad it's over. 2009 already on notice.
That's too bad, shrift. Hey, maybe it's like rain on your wedding day: seems bad but is actually good luck.
Friend of mine sent me this story - which could be no more than rumor. Apparently, Obama is friends with the producers of the local PBS Show
Check, Please.
So about 7 years ago he went on the show but he was "too good" and they didn't air it. (I don't really understand what "too good" means in this context.) The restaurant he picked was Dixie Kitchen in Hyde Park.

It's a corollary of Parkinson's Law: Work expands to the amount of time you have to do it.
