So my latest mini-project at work is going through a drawer full of Cliffs Notes & getting rid of some of them.  And, as you do, I've been flipping through them & saying "Oh, I remember that one, we had to read that one in 10th grade, god I hated that book ..."  Because despite being English Major Extraordinaire, I occasionally frequently had to rely on Cliffs Notes to get me through certain books (Day of the Locust, I'm looking at you).

So last night I dreamed I was back in high school.  Oy. 

Well, he's not exclusive to the 80s, but - Harrison Ford.

I've been on vacation for a week and a half.

I have 172 e-mails in my primary inbox. Plus about 2 dozen each in my other 2 inboxes.

(And yes, the fact that I'm posting on LJ for the 2nd time in 10 minutes instead of actually READING my e-mails means I'm in full procrastination mode.)

As long as I don't have to go out in it (and the roof doesn't leak!), I love a good thunderstorm.

... have been officially cancelled. Which means I can exchange the tickets for 2 for next year, instead.

Do I really want to try this a 3rd time??

There's a 70% chance of rain Tuesday night, and I've got U.S. Open tickets.

The hurricane wasn't nearly as bad as it could've been for us, considering we're surrounded by tall trees & have had problems with the roof & the basement leaking! We've had no power since 4 am Sunday, however. :-P.

The library where I work has no power, either, so I get an unexpected day off. And mom's library has wifi, so here I sit.

We're gonna lose everything in the fridge, though. :-(

Bleh.

We just got a little burst of rain, which seems to have stopped. It's supposed to do this off & on all afternoon, before starting in earnest. Oh joy.

An earthquake and a hurricane?  Seriously?!?!?


Listen, I'm good to You.  I recycle.  I grow organically & shop locally.  I plant phlox for the butterflies.  I feed the birds.  Hell, I feed the squirrels (and, inadvertantly, the raccoons)!  


We also just got the roof fixed again.


Any chance you could send Irene someplace else??






Much love & respect, 



Me.
