  • Huge props to @secretlifeofkat for introducing me to the wonderfulness that is Brooke Fraser. Wish I could road trip to Dallas for my b-day! #
  • Ok, I’m done in, time for bed. I have a feeling I won’t sleep after my lengthy nap today but I should try. #
  • I got very little sleep last night. Anxiety stuff is rearing its ugly head right now. So glad my dh is taking the day off to be with me. #
  • @HeatherIdoni had real life stuff to do, so I’m trying to figure out what to do with myself. Need positive thoughts to pour into my brain. #
  • DH just left to play tennis. The kids are watching The Love Bug. I’m trying to pay attention to it to keep my mind busy. Very rough day. #

  • @monicabrand With mine it’s Rudy and Hoosiers…and we OWN both of them…but when they’re on tv, they must be watched, apparently. #
  • Finishing off some homemade strawberry shortcake and ignoring rude comments from @HeatherIdoni. I am so not a little piggy! I’m big. #
  • This is one of those days that I wish I drank coffee. I yawned all through service today and feel bad about it. #
  • Well, that was a nice 4 hour Sunday afternoon nap. NASCAR on tv + gloomy skies = perfect sleeping conditions. I guess I was tired! #
  • @webboy I think your rain has arrived. #
  • Our satellite just went out with 7 laps to go. #

  • @webboy No, we’ve had cable the whole time, it just went out and had to be fixed. At least now I know how to connect at the library! #
  • I watched “Girl With a Pearl Earring” today & liked it. I’m going to try to read the book. Watched “No Reservations” tonight. Liked it too. #
  • Got a late start this morning and trying to decide what to tackle first. I guess further ant warfare trumps web work. They just keep coming! #
  • Ants are obediently gulping down the poison I fed them. Good little ants, now take it back to your queen… #
  • Also, I did a ton of web work but still have a ton more to do. Big new product launch coming up. So naturally I volunteered to do more work. #
  • Watching my hubby get ready to play tennis…again. He has been a tennis maniac lately. Oh, and his racket bag is full of ants. Fun! #
  • I am SAVED. @HeatherIdoni is here to play online scrabble with me. I was about to die of boredom. #
  • Wow, how did it get to be 5:00 already? #
  • Username seen in scrabs: lividsnails. I love that one. #
  • @HeatherIdoni is dubbing herself “a ballistic sloth”. #
  • I am not in any way, shape or form motivated to make dinner. I think there will be a revolt soon. #
  • UGH, the agony of Scrabble defeat! But on the upside, I cautiously announce that the ants are pretty much gone from the latest location. #
  • Victory over the ants was accomplished with Terro and removal of the tennis bag which contained packages of Smarties the ants were after. #

  • I am BACK! No, really, I mean it this time. Cable guy just left and Internet is all patched up now. Not sure how I survived, it wasn’t easy. #
  • AND all my Twitter peeps are back! This is a good day. #
  • 389 items in my Google Reader. I just cleaned this out at the library yesterday. I’m afraid to look at my Gmail. #
  • UGH!! http://tinyurl.com/5pwgp3 The ‘legal’ version better be good, cuz scrabulous rocks. I will be sad to lose it. @HeatherIdoni take note! #

  • …and….it looks like we’re back! Unfortunately, I have nothing worthwhile to say. #
  • My Internet went out *again* last night. It came back sometime this morning. I’m glad I didn’t have to wait until tomorrow for service. #
  • Oh, and I’m currently waging World War XVII against the ants. This time they found their way to the pantry… #
  • …PopTarts seem to be the only casualties on our side. The opposition’s forces have been crippled, but their reinforcements are plentiful. #
  • So I get my Internet back and Twitter has done a number on me. 1 following/3 followers. I hope it will fix itself soon, I miss all my peeps! #
  • My Internet went out again, so I’m at the library. I now realize that my laptop is VERY HEAVY. #
  • Hopefully won’t be here long, just have to let some people know I’m out of commission - again - and look up a couple things. #
