Dear heavens, but this copy editor is even more comma happy than I am. If I accepted all her changes, this manuscript would read like a transcript of a William Shatner soliloquy.

I'm not mad or anything... she's just doing her job, but damn, my head hurts.

I think I need to take a break and go cook something.

smonster, I'd be up for paying shipment (slow ground shipment) for a flat screen tv. ijs.

We (the general we) collect a bunch of stuff and have a yard sale for charity - last year was the first year and they made $7K, but they've done no promotion this year, so...

Oh, that's nicer.

Exploding cupcakes

but ... what a waste of cupcakes!

It looks like at least some of the cupcakes ended up in the targets' mouths....

So Utah is facing competition from Arizona for "worst/best waste of a legislature's time", huh? Our State Attorney General says flat out that he knows the laws he's promoting are probably unconstitutional, but he wants to have test cases. Our state has a huge shortfall in the budget, too, but there are about five big cases we're wasting money on.

bad mom!

ugh, my flakeiness is in rare form today.

Since I stayed home yesterday and got mac myself, I told his babysitter that I would call her if I needed her on Friday (wasn;t sure if his behavior would have gotten better). Did I call her? NO. Am I at work? yes I am. Did school let out 25 min ago?!?!? Yes, yes gd it, it did. She is on her way, but damn does that suck. bad move for kid with abandonment issues. It's like #1 on the "do not do this" list.

Connie, I live in VA. If your State Attorney General is worse than ours, it's because he's had more time to develop a record.
