Mmm. I want a coffee frosty now. Nom. My space bar is not loving me, it's only partly working. Hrmph.

Two hours ago I looked at the clock and went "wow, it feels so much later than 8:30! I could get so much done!"...and suddenly it's two hours later and I have...gotten nothing done. Sigh.

While I wait for the Benedryl to kick in and my heart to stop pounding, a story about awkwardness.

Last night I was set to meet up with an old friend I hadn't seen for more than a decade with whom I have a bit of a complicated history. He's long married and has a kid. So we met for dinner and yay! no awkward. We talked and talked until the restaurant closed, so we hopped into his car and went to a bar to keep talking. Just about shut them down, too. Finally he took me back to my car at which point I couldn't find my car keys. So back to the bar before they close, but no joy. Must be at the restaurant. And my house keys were locked in my car and I live 20 minutes away in the opposite direction from his house.

So you know what's awkward? Meeting your friend's FiL at 2:15 am when friend's wife is out of town. I mean, the whole thing was totally rated G but I felt like the unfun kind of brazen hussy.

It was all fine and I had fun playing with the 5 yo the next morning waiting for the restaurant to open but that moment? AWKWARD.

I can only imagine!!!

On the upside in talking about old times I learned that I had been judging myself way too harshly on a bit of shared history. So I wasn't really a brazen hussy back then, either! His ex was just psycho and possessive.

Outside on porch listening to rain. Need to clean gutters and reattach downspout.

sounds like a good time all around smonster

When my BIL fell off a ladder he shattered both his heals -- the good news, all of his other joints had no injury. the bad news -- feet issues forever.

The same BIL bought 2 of the metal bats. he decided he needed a mating pair?

and grace on the swing --too much for words

The alarm was set for 5:15 this morning, but the cats thought 4:30 was a better time for me to get up. On the plus side I got everything done in the house I wanted while mac still slept. Bad side 4:30!

We are at the airport now having coffee and donuts. 1 hour til boarding.

So I wasn't really a brazen hussy back then, either!

Sounds like the fun outweighed the awkward. And come on now, tell us you were at least a bit of a brazen hussy.

Have an awesome trip, msbelle.

Twin pictures this weekend were a joy to see.

Kat, those pictures were wonderful! A very happy belated twin birthday for the whole family!

Safe travels, msbelle!

Professors should not call me at 8:30 a.m. on Monday morning to ask if I have an answer to the question they sent at 4:30 p.m on Friday (when she knows I leave work at 4 p.m.).

Holy crap, aurelia. I hope she's OK.

I am totally with Grace on the joy of swinging. I STILL love it.

Man, me too. And 7 weeks til Grace is home? Amazing!

You know what's good? Fried egg in bread-with-a-hole.
