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.
Tonight: Doing laundry and packing.
Saturday: Basketball team fundraiser car wash organization and supervision. I do not intend to wash any cars. Followed by attending a loan modification and that kind of stuff seminar organized by local state representative. Housework.
Sunday: Finalizing packing of the car and clearing my office desk of piles of unruly paperwork.
Monday: Drive 1500 miles or so to Otter Lake where I will escape the summer heat until mid-August.
Electrician's here!
I am going to a sort of family reunion organized by my half-sister. She's never made such a gesture before, so I feel compelled to go. She and my niecephews and great-niecephews are driving down from St. Louis to Lake Barkley State Park in Kentucky. I get to drive to Nashville today, then to Kentucky tomorrow with my mother and sister. My prediction for the weekend: an emotional minefield with sunburn.
We also cross paths with Kentucky's 400-Mile Yard Sale, which should make the drive extra exciting.

Eeep. I hope there are potent beverages included.
The interesting aspect of my drive will be the co-drivers. My brother is driving to NY at the same time so I offered to split up the drivers with him. My son and dog will go with my brother and his wife and I get his 20 & 21 yo kids and a 9mo infant. Neither of the kids has any real highway driving experience, but they have plenty of experience driving on roads with the worst elderly drivers on the planet on the west coast of Florida, so they are used to the crazy. I did make a pitch today to try and talk my brother into stopping half way instead of going straight through like usual.
Have the live scores up for the French Open: Ooh, I wish I'd tivoed this first semi looks good. A five-setter and I think Soderling is going to win it !
Stephanie, you are way braver than I ever was.
Well, I sort of got exactly the party I didn't want. I wanted small, at home, and inexpensive. But, Ellie has been totally into horse back riding lately, ever since she rode on our friend's horse Coyote. So, I knew she would love it at the horse place. And I have nothing to do but bake the cake, which I actually like doing. And, most importantly, it's not at my house! And we are leaving, so it's a sort of good-bye party - both for her and us.
This weekend, I'm going to BFD and seeing lots of awesome bands, and then on Sunday, I'm meeting a TWoPer for lunch and wandering.
Oy, the hammering. And it is right under me too.
Do you tip electricians?
I wouldn't, sara.
