I am working at home while doing laundry and slowly making the elements of a nicoise salad!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am trying to get organized and/or motivated. One or the other would be good. But then, I have an 11 o'clock meeting, so maybe it's too late for this morning.

Not only did I make it into the office on time today, but I took both the kids over to Panera for morning noms. Kelly and I got to jump on CJ to wake him up and sing him Happy Birthday.

Tomorrow a friend of Kelly's is coming out to visit for a week. I hope she is low maintenance.

A plumber is finally coming out to fix our bad sink. At noon today. I should probably take a shower and/or put on a bra before he gets here. I have to go into the office this afternoon anyway.

Man it is clammy here! The storms yesterday seem to have made it more, not less, humid.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

My daughter spontaneously took on the project of cleaning and organizing the hairbrush drawer this morning. I am vaguely boggled, but my rule of thumb is to never turn down offers of housework. Especially when my kid makes them.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Is everybody being productive? That's crazy!

I was getting sucked in to workplace drama.

I may need to kill my work nemesis. My boss is about to kill her boss (who is really rude to my boss), but my boss, who is friends with nemesis does not see that the problem is not Nemesis's boss asking her to do something, but the fact that she can't do it without asking me for information that my boss already gave her boss.

My boss was so mad she said the f-word about 50 times and said she was going to go to HR.

I wish! I wonder if I could grow a caper bush in a pot?

Also my salad will only be nicoise-ish because I don't think we have capers or nicoise olives (we have some oil cured greek olives) also just canned tuna in water. Not ideal but it will have to do!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

One of my coworkers did something that resulted in breaking links on ~300 pages of the website I manage.

I'm working from home today, so I didn't have to give myself a hernia by holding in the resulting stream of profanity. Yay?
