I am trying to maintain my state of denial about it being Monday.

I woke up half an hour before my alarm, which is not enough time to go back to sleep. Bah.

I've told y'all that Mac's band sectional us before school on Monday and so he has to be there befor 7am? That's almost an hour earlier than normal. I hates it. And since he is Mac, he never gets up on his own. And since he does not care about band ( a class he is failing with a low low F), he drags his feet and mopes around so we barely make it on time.

BUT, I get to work 40 min early and thus have 40 min of slush time for the week to whittle away or get overtime. WHEE!

Looking for the silver lining.

So.much.cutting.and.banging.

Good luck with the plumbing, sarameg

Ugh msbelle, I hate having to be someone else's alarm. Drives me up the wall! But getting to work early is a win.

Isaac is going to go for an instrument next year when he starts middle school. The school has a good music program. Frances went for the art program instead, which is also good. Since she's only a mediocre student (says her overachiever mom - she gets As and Bs) the art program has been the saving grace for her and I'm ever so grateful for it.

I would also say bedding, maybe linens. I think I only call them linens if they are in the linen closet. And none of them are made of linen.

I support you in that, Lee. Enjoy a leisurely Sunday!

I am coming to the conclusion that there is no such thing as "enough sleep"

I watched The Big Short with my son last night. This is the first time I've just watched a movie in a pretty long time, so that pretty cool and it was a fun to watch it with L. He enjoyed the movie, but it said it kinda left him feeling angry. I read the book a few years ago and was really curious about how it would work as a movie since it isn't the kind of book that would seem to be adaptable to the big screen.

I thought they did a really good job with it, but I don't know that they explained all the financial stuff very well. OTOH, balancing the information with the story must have been enormously difficult and it's been popular so how can I really fault them?

Lady, you just finished saying, multiple times, that you're not computer literate. You made a great point in emphasizing that you don't know what you're doing with a computer. Therefore, when I give you an instruction to save a file from the link I just sent you, a file that you need to make the program run, does it really make sense for you to say "Are you sure I want to save the file? Really? I want to save the file? You say I need to save this file. But don't I need to click that other button and save it somewhere else?" Just push the button, Max.

Dear Developers,

This is the 21st small update that has gone out for this iteration of our program. The standard method for distribution of the small updates is to download into the program when they click Connect. Why, on the 21st update, did you make the standard download process crash the program? Were you distracted by one of your ping pong games? Did the foozball tournament take precedence? Or were you too busy longing for the weather to clear so you could go shoot some hoops in the middle of the day?

No love,

Why did I not bring a sweater to the office? Why? I am not a cat, I should be able to realize that just because I was warm this morning did not mean I'd be warm all day.

In related news, I think I lost my oldest, most reliable sweater. It was slightly ragged, and it was what I kept in my office, but it's not there any more, nor does it seem to be anywhere at home.

it was what I kept in my office, but it's not there any more, nor does it seem to be anywhere at home.

Perhaps, like the Alien Afghan that visited my cubicle a few months ago, it has wandered off to visit another part of your office.
