No Time? C'mon!

How is it that I'm going to sit here and claim that I had no time for a post yesterday? Surely, I could've spared a few minutes from the work day (please don't tell my boss I said that!) or some time away from TV (seriously? the State of the Union?) or in the waning hours of the evening (when I usually sit down to peck out my daily ramblings). Alas, it's true. I either didn't have any time to spare or I just plain forgot to write down my musings yesterday! (And the truth is, it's a little of both.)

I actually got a lot of work done yesterday... made progress on some major projects that I'm leading/participating in for the COR. And since Jon was teaching until 6:30 (which really turned into 7:00-something), I worked late too. Okay, and yes, I will admit that I didn't cook and that I pressured him to let me go to Sonic for dinner (he didn't have to give in... but seriously, who among you can resist the lure of the Sonic burger??? Those of you with no prior Sonic experience, keep your pawpads down!). For once, by the way, my "have a night" guy wasn't there! Anyway, when we got home, it was already 8:00... which, of course, means Gilmore. Then the State of the Union commenced (which, I must admit... even as a Poli Sci major, I wasn't all that interested in... so, when I'd had enough, I actually came downstairs to take a bath & read a magazine). Finally, in those "waning hours" when I'd usually be typing away on my little message to all of y'all, I started working on our taxes... which is kinda fun for me... so back off. So, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

The biggest news of today is that Haley's coming! My sister, favorite friend. She should be on her way any minute, and I'm thrilled! Can't wait till she gets here. We've got big plans... taxes, making a headboard, buying her sheets for her new bed, working on scrapbooks, etc., etc. Okay, so she's only staying for a few days... but you have to understand that Haley is ultra-creative, and I must take advantage of her being here! So, I'm gonna run her ragged. Is that so wrong?

Oh well... I'm supposed to be working now... so I guess I should get moving. I love working from home. I don't have to shower until lunchtime (well, at all, for that matter... the dogs don't seem to mind!), I can just wear my pajamas all day, and I can get up at 8:15 and pull my computer onto my lap and it's just like I'm sitting at my desk. I'm really glad none of you can actually see me right now. Mom, is the laziness genetic too? Or is that just the eating out and talent for telling long-winded stories? It makes it so nice, too, that the dogs go outside when Jon gets up (thanks, Jon!!!) and come back to bed for another nap. Who else thinks it's funny (and quite fitting) that my dogs like to sleep in?
