Does sweeps matter for PBS? I guess everyone wants ratings.

Oh yeah, I guess it doesn't! I should know these things. I do know that they put Downton and Sherlock both together in January, because that's when they get the best ratings.

Kids are at a double play date and I should be writing. shhh! just warming up the computer first.

Try explaining one that involves this work product:

Cultural anthropologist? I would love to read the article too btw, so I may be broken.

Kate, I'm thisclose to volunteering as webmaster for the chorus I sang with briefly, and I don't know anything about websites! But I do know that theirs is terrible.

Don't do it, Jesse! I mean, maybe it would be fine, but mine has taken more of my time than I'd expected. It doesn't help that this has been a very busy year for us (four major concerts instead of two, which means twice as many music files to put up on the site, and updating more often), plus we redesigned the site in the fall and it went live over Christmas, when of course I wasn't checking my email every day. Also, our hosting company isn't that great, but we have to stick with them because they barely charge us anything. But if your choir is less active (or ambitious) than mine, it might not be so much work.

Uncle Gary is here to do wedding shopping with everyone. We were all basically done, but the men/boys needed shirts and ties. So a short trip to the mall this morning and suit trying on for mac.

I am enrolling mac in summer classes at local universities 4 weeks of half day classes. He has a short week of a full day art class, and then a week of band camp at his jr. high and I know nothing about the hours for that. I have 4 weeks that are un-scheduled, last resort is local day camp place where there is very little structure.

Don't do it, Jesse! I mean, maybe it would be fine, but mine has taken more of my time than I'd expected.

Yeah, I'm sure it's a nightmare. Or at least, a pain in the ass.

Also a pain in the ass and/or nightmare must be trying to schedule kids in the summer! Yikes.

Not a nightmare is the Buffalo deviled egg I just made, and I totally half-assed it with just bottled blue cheese dressing and Frank's. I hope my friend has the deviled egg pageant again this year!

Ooh, that sounds great!

I have 1 lb of bacon cooked, another in the oven, and three more in the freezer (in 1 lb pkgs). That should hold me for a while.

I'm in my fancy NOLA dress, headed to a Casino Night benefit at the Cell (Comiskey of old).

Mmm, buffalo deviled egg sounds yum. And being in a fancy dress sounds fun too! I am feeling v lazy but want people to hang out with, but nobody local to do so with. Stupid lack of transporter beam.

Jesse is the deviled egg queen, but tasty as that sounds, I think I'd prefer the 2 lbs of bacon.

Go you, msbelle, for being so on top of camps. I haven't made any plans whatsoever for summer, which is a huge mistake. I need to rectify that.
