Thanks to all who posted yesterday. Here is the final list of authors and their posts. Special thanks to Christine who helped me figure out that one missing pair of quotations can do THIS to a persons layout. But that was the ONLY casualty from yesterdays free-for-all, and it was easily fixed.

Final total? 38 posters and 42 posts. You guys ROCK.

Now…
GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!!!
(more…)

So last night, I call Mother to check in, and she tells me her SS check is in and she needs to have her bills paid right. now. even though they’re not due for another two weeks. (Ok, so she gets a cookie for being prompt. Whatever.) I say Ok, I already have my assignments, and she tells me Yolanda, her best friend, comes at 2 p.m. to take her out to wherever. Well, when she has me do something for her, that usually means she tells Yolanda that she’s just going to hang out with me for the day. That’s how it’s worked hundreds of times before, right? Yeah, not this time. I pick her up, and she brings her stuff down and I tell her we’re headed to the Porter County Airport, which is about 45 minutes from where we live, and as were driving, she says, “Yolanda comes to pick me up at 2.” Wait, what!?!? You didn’t tell me that last night. So I pull over on the side of the road to do her bills because they have to be done right. now. Meanwhile, I have an assignment that I have to do. (beats head on desk)

Oh. OH! And did I mention I have to go all the way to Whiting — 20 minutes away from my crib — to pick up my debit card, which I left at the Mexican place at which Greta and I ate last night!?!?!? Before I head to Gary for my second assignment!?!?! Gah.

oh thank GOODNESS i can get my blogging fix in. you see, my office has a disgustingly thorough firewall and i can’t even view my own site because i host it on a non-standard port. wheee.

which means, i don’t get to blog all day from work like i used to. *snicker*

so i endlessly scour the internet looking for places to guestblog and leave my mark. *raises leg to leave mark*

aaaah. much better.

seriously, i can’t tell you how therapeutic it is just to write something down. anything. anything at all. twelve pineapples!

see, that felt good. go ahead try it. post a comment here that is completely random. anything. anything at all.

undulating umbrellas!

so i finally got a digital camera - yeah for me. i can now inundate all my friends and family with colour photos not just black and white ones.

so you would think that after waiting a whole week for it to come in the mail i could wait another hour for the battery to charge, but no, of course i can’t. every few minutes i look over to the indicator, only to be crushed that it hasn’t fully charged yet. my work colleagues roll their eyes at me when i update them on the status of the battery. just wait til it full charges and then i might be able to actually show you you rtolling their eyes at me. assuming i can work the camera - zoinks!

ps… thanks zoot

And I have to say I’m relieved I already posted the ne.kkid elderly photo on my blog, cause the temptation to post it here might’ve been too great!

That said, I’m going to talk about…Zoot! I can’t tell you how glad I am I found her blog! She’s upbeat, funny, honest, amusing, loves dogs, hilarious, kind, entertaining, AND has gloriously beautiful red hair (did I mention she makes me laugh my @$$ off?). I swear, you make the world a better place, girl!
