Ah man, my personal training session for tomorrow just got canceled because she has a cold.
Guess I will have to sleep in instead.
Does anybody mind if I pass out?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I love the last line of this article (that's my neighborhood hardware!) [link]
"Is this what I've been reduced to?" he asked in defeat. "A headlight and AAA batteries."

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
The time to buy a flashlight and batteries is not just as the hurricane approaches!
Of course, if you buy the flashlight well in advance of the disaster, you could be like me, and forget where it is... or find it, with dead batteries in it.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
yay msbelle for the good job news!
I am sitting here with two cranky kids, one has a headache. I made martinis for mom and dad. I feel like we've earned them.

If by battening down the hatches you mean going out for a drink, then yes that is precisely what we are doing.
Yup, that's my brother.

or find it, with dead batteries in it.
That was the impetus of yesterday's battery buying binge (and last weekends as well. But that was for the camera.) And at that point, Dcells were already gone. Couldn't believe how many people I saw at Home Despot tonight buying gutters and spouts and cement sealant. Um, we've known about this for a week? (I was looking for replacement plants, decided not to just yet.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Okay, the sauce certainly smells good. What with the butter.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

One year for Christmas I asked my dad for one of those flashlights you shake to charge. It doesn't get incredibly bright (at least not with MY puny shaking), but it works. Also, our weather radio is a crank-to-charge dealie, and it has a flashlight built in that works off the crank-to-charge thing.
All of this presupposes we know where the flashlight and the weather radio are.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ooh! I have a crank-to-charge flashlight, I think with no radio, but it also charges cell phones.

That's useful. I need to get one of those.
