Okay, by the numbers, now:
Dec. 18th, 2002 07:47 pm1) When you get e-mail asking if you're okay because you haven't posted in a while, it's time to post. (Thanks again for asking, though.)
2) Kristi heard back from the "Peanuts" folks. No she may not use Charlie Brown and Marcie on the homemade wedding invitations, because Hallmark will get all cranky and litigious. She's sorry she asked.
3) I was a model of Shopping Efficiency last night, hitting six stores in an hour and a half, including the grocery trip from purgatory. All my work friends are covered now (no, Colleen, I'm not handing out any hints), as is my Mom. I've only got one-maybe-two more things to get Kristi, and I'm expletive-deleted done. (Wow, and it's not even a day with the word "Eve" in it. Dare to dream!)
4) I love my mom-in-law dearly. She is a kind, loving, generous and wonderful person, and I am eternally glad to have her in my family. So I swear to you, I didn't really mean all the things I was contemplating doing when she used my Wusthof-Trident paring knife to scrape the Triassic-era blackened gunk out of her stove. Honest.
5) Is it just me, or has living in England given Tori Amos a bit of an accent?
6) Abbey's dance recital is going to be exceptional, assuming that her throwing up tonight is an isolated incident. (No, not at rehearsal.)
7) My mom will be arriving in 39 hours. I'm looking at the state of this bedroom. Oh, dear...
8) At work today, I had four different managers come up to my desk within the space of an hour or so, to ask me things that honestly could've waited. I wonder if the fact that I was writing cryptic crossword clues at the time had something to do with it.
9) I only have one day off next week. They offered to give me another day off, but I refused. Jeez, I really am greedy.
10) I really should go see what Nik is screaming about downstairs. On the other hand, since he had me up at 4:30 this morning, maybe I should leave this one to, oh, pretty much anyone else.
