Tracy, sorry the game was rained out, but hey….sounds like it worked out for you! I love the Little Mermaid, too. It’s so funny! Yeah, I got mom’s piano because I’m the musician. My brother never took lessons or anything, and he didn’t have that history with mom like I did, so it went to me. I don't think 50 Shades sounds like something I'd like...I think I'll skip that one.
Lynne, what a strange dream! I hate dreams where I’m running late for something because it’s a pet peeve of mine. Sorry you didn’t get to sleep in! I hope you get some work as an editor. That could be a really interesting job if the books are good, but frustrating if they are really bad.
Sean, sometimes a boring night in is just what the doctor ordered…hope you weren’t TOO bored, though. I'm hoping for a boring night tonight, myself.
Caryn, nice to have you back! Yeah, the beginning of a new routine is hard. I didn’t get to run today, nor will I tomorrow, because I had/have to work. But, I ride my bike there and back…about 20 mins each way, plus tomorrow I will also bike to choir in the evening. So I’m getting exercise in, even if it isn’t running. I’m not running with the goal of being able to run the 5k…just with the goal of losing weight and this program seems to be a good one to get me in shape. But who knows…maybe once I can run it, I’ll see if there’s a 5k to enter.
Ann Marie, what kind of cards do you make? I enjoy doing that, too. I do 3D, embossing, very little stamping…I’d love to see some of your stuff!
Suzan, what do they do with the mice? When I was in high school, I went to an academic summer program and the science class I took was all about drugs. We did some testing with rats where we observed them…we had a control group, a group that was given caffeine, and a group that was given some sort of a downer…then we did things like, place them with a paw up on a platform to see how long it would stay in that position....it was interesting to observe. We didn’t actually have to inject them ourselves…so I was wondering, I know you don’t work with the mice, but is that the kind of stuff they do that you can’t stomach? Thanks for the encouragement about running. I really hope I can stick with it. I’m so out of shape and overweight, I HAVE to do something about it.
Susie, that’s a nightmare!! Missing BD2??? Good thing it was just a dream! That’s so great that you got to see your daughter’s performance! What did they sing? (just because I’m nosy!) I have a mental block about singing solo. I know…weird for someone who majored in music. Ever since I was in high school, I have this thing where I get to the end of a phrase and my throat closes up and I have to swallow, mid-word. So I’m always terrified that’s going to happen, so I get unbelievably nervous. What I fear, I create. It only happens when I’m singing a solo piece as myself, though…when I’m playing a role in a musical, it’s like it’s not me, so I don’t have that problem. I LOVE doing musicals. There was a girl in the music department…we didn’t get along, but she told me if I didn’t like to sing solo, I shouldn’t be in the music program, I should just give it up. I told her I was an ED major, not performance, and she tried to put off some junk about how teaching is nothing but solos, but I don’t have that problem when I’m SPEAKING. She was just very cocky herself and liked to tell everyone how much better a musician she was than they are.
Work was actually good. In the past, it hasn’t been a very nice environment. Like…when I switched from weekly hours to just “on call” temp type, I was away for 3 months or so…the first time I came back to work, I expected people to greet me…just a “Oh hi! Nice to see you back”…NOTHING. Not a word. And it’s a real Catty place…people watching everyone else to see who’s doing the most…hiding in between shelving sections to spy on certain people and then going to the boss if someone spent 2 minutes chatting with someone they hadn’t seen in a while, or to ask how a doctors appointment went…stuff like that. Really like…junior high. But I went in today after 6 months…well, more like a year since I’ve seen most of them and they all greeted me and asked how I was and how the kids were. So it was actually nice for once. My supervisor didn’t say 2 words to me, but that’s just the way she is. But the owner of the company brought in her 4 week old baby…sooooo cute. She’s smaller than my daughter was at birth!
Ok, I’m heading to bed. I have to be up at 6 to get Bug ready for swimming lessons, and then I work while the kids are at school and I have choir in the evening, so it’s going to be a LONG day. I probably won’t be back on until Wednesday.
At least, none that I remember!
Hell, he was even running his fingers through his buzz at Berlinale.
Well, at least we know the shorts weren’t his! But, I always think it’s beyond adorable when she steals his shirts… coats… sunglasses… hats. I kind of love it. Yeah, I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. I keep seeing different dates for the second unit stuff, everything from next week to the week of Cannes and after. 
I'll say goodnight. I'm going to work on some writing a bit and peruse the internet any new possible job openings in my area. I may also have a glass of wine. Maybe not though. It tends to make me sleepy.
