I knew that one from the West Wing!

I was just thinking that!

Sad, no birthday trip to New Orleans. Or anything at all. I've got the time off work, I figure I can not take Tuesday (I was going to fly back) but still take the rest of this week off. And do what, I don't know. Anyone have brilliant ideas? Or things I should do while I"m home for a few days? (#1: Get oil change, #2 Call a damn dentist, but other than that...) I feel like if I accomplish stuff, I won't feel quite as shitty about not having a birthday party or trip or anything (I wanted yummy new orleans food! I was going to start a diet AFTER I got back!)

Bummer, meara.

Present! I have achieved cash, puppy pads, eggs, milk, and produce. In less good news, tornado warning for Orleans Parish until 12:15. eta but not our part of the parish.

put a mattress on your head!

Yay cash and food and dog supplies! This is key.

Duck and cover for those tornados. Picturing elementary school drills, crouched and head covered in the hallway.

can you dash to Vancouver and take a boat trip or something?

msbelle, close!! I am going to put my head on the mattress and take a nap. Fear not, my weather radio will wake me the hell up if needed.

Yeah, that's what I was going to say, meara -- can you drive (or otherwise get) someplace else?

ok. sleep well then.

I msut say, the interactive map I have finally found on weather.com is really good in that you can get a very close-up streetview of the radar.

I knew Ohio's song was "Beautiful Ohio," although I have no idea of the tune, or words.

It ought to be "Hang On Sloopy," though. t /Ohio joke

Okay, so I didn't know there were state state songs--I meant this:

Or the song that's all "Alabama Alaska Arizona Arkansas"?

I can't convince people who work at home to either consistently redirect their desk phones or to run a soft phone so it's transparent. I hate having to keep track of people's locations and which is the correct phone number.

However, my *second* pair of wireless headphones seems to not want to charge. So my phone is craptastic quality anyway. WHY DO YOU HATE ME, LOGITECH???

I'm trying to work out if more guys I know drive stick than are uncircumcised. Without actually knowing. But when I look up the numbers, they're not necessarily giving me the 25-55 age window I would consider "my friends" for penis state.

My sister sent me an email this morning saying she needed my address and bank info because a friend wanted to transfer her money through me. I told her a) she doesn't seem Nigerian enough for this to be plausible, and b) where's my profit? You can't con me unless I stand to make a profit.
