My birthday isn't until Tuesday. But we'll still be officially in weekend mode that day. Actually we will drive from Oxford Ohio to Athens GA that day too. Is there anything worse than 9 hours in the car with my son? I suppose a root canal would be worse.

I'm old enough to remember going to the original Star Wars in theaters.

I was 11 years old in 1977, and Star Wars was the first movie I ever saw multiple times in the theater. My family went together the first time, and then I believe I spent my allowance money on my other two viewings, one of which I ended up in the front row since those was the last available seats. Got a big headache from the angle and the in-your-face issue.

My birthday is Saturday, but it's a secret.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

One of the comments on the very nice card everyone signed for my 10th anniversary here was one thanking me for being the "mom of the office." Oh, man. It hurt because I think I'm Pam, but I guess to the 24-year-olds here, I'm Phyllis.

Oxford Ohio to Athens GA

For a second there, I thought you said you were going to be in Athens, Ohio, and I was going to tell you to look up my aunt and uncle there--she's a teacher at Ohio University.

Because books.

I was 11 years old in 1977

I was ten! Movies I saw in theaters include: Star Wars, Grease (multiple times), Saturday Night Fever, and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (also several times, sadly).

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

This weekend, I foresee a lot of lying around the house, reading and watching some TV. I'm hoping I feel well enough at some point to (a) go to the National Folk Festival, and (b) eat some ice cream. We shall see! Tomorrow's supposed to be a high of 100 degrees, so I'm thinking Sunday (at a mere 92) is a better bet for the festival.

As for this weekend, my DH just got back a few minutes ago from a week-long trip. He was only home two nights before that after ANOTHER long trip. I am planning on making out like crazed weasels, in addition to lounging around while he walks the dogs and cooks and does all the stuff I have to do while he's away.

Aw, this made me laugh, but I'm sorry you feel that way. FWIW, though I love Phyllis, there ain't nothing Phyllis-like about you!
