Happy belated birthday, Steph! I was offline for most of the day yesterday. I hope it was amazing.
FCM: Thomas Gibson, Joe Mantegna, Matthew Gray Gubler
Ugh. I've heard Thomas Gibson is kind of a jerk in real life (even though I think he's incredibly handsome), so if we're talking about the actors and not the characters they play I would: F Gubler, C Gibson, and M Mantegna. I've met him a few times, and he is oh-so-charming and a good man in general.
Now if we're talking about the characters, I would: F Rossi, C Reid, and M Hotchner. (Hey, we both lost spouses way too early under tragic circumstances.)
Go for the shuttle, Connie. Just remember that they may pick up other passengers, so you need to leave early enough to get you to the airport in time.
I think I'll do the reservation now. They want 24-hour notice, but I like to have things nailed down.
2 weeks from now I'll be sitting next to a pool with Elena!
I am sitting on my couch while two hired professionals clean my house. I feel weirdly guilty, but also, oh my god, this is awesome.
I just saw Gloria Estefan on my way to Jamba Juice.
And shuttle is scheduled. All I have to do on July 7 is be ready for the driver at my front door, and I'll be whisked away to Vegas. A victory for the Wolf Queen.
I just made hotel reservations so I can visit my mom on the weekend of the 4th. (The 4th is her birthday.)
There's a sushi burrito truck that sometimes parks near my house. I've been wanting to try it, but I keep getting stuck parenting instead.
Which, speaking of getting stuck parenting, guess who's other kid is now sporting a fever? This one has a sore throat to go with his, so the doctors are talking strep, not pneumonia this time. Egad. What's wrong with NOT GETTING SICK over summer vacation?!
Also, I may have resolved my writing sample problem, or rather my husband solved it by reminding me that I can send a link to a book of undergraduate writing I helped edit, that includes an article one of my own students wrote. So there's that.
Go Burrell!
K-Bug just committed the two of us walking in a parade on the 4th. Thanks kiddo.
Maybe halfway done. I hates the dentist. Already "watched" Twister and have moved on to Return of the King.
A victory for the Wolf Queen.
AROOOO
Still haven't heard from the graphics professional who owed me a mock-up on Monday. Have basically accomplished nothing today. I had a plan for the day, but it did not come together.
