'til Tuesday

The artist brings something into the world that didn't exist before and he does it without destroying something else. - John Updike

I was gabbing with a friend yesterday and the group 'til Tuesday came up in conversation (she'd actually seen them in concert, opening for Hall and Oates, which strikes me as an odd pairing). Anyway, remember them? I have their album on vinyl, lol.

So, I feel like I've been rambling lately on this blog...muttering about this and that and not making a whole lot of sense. If you like that--you're in luck! I'm most likely going to do it again today *G*.

My DH worked from 8 a.m. until 1:30 a.m. (Yes... really...) yesterday (today?), and will be sleeping until he wakes up today. What this means is, our school schedule will be non-existent (you have to walk through the master bedroom to get to the schoolroom), and I'm not even certain about the rest of the day. Will he still go in to work (he commutes quite a long distance) or will he work from home? Will I pull my hair out from a lack of routine?

Poor DH. He worked all weekend, as well, and I don't think things are getting any better.

I'm late posting this morning because I let myself sleep until 5 a.m. -- the dear doggy had me up and down all night because she once again has loose bowels. TMI? I wonder if she's lactose intolerant. Judy asked me this yesterday because the only thing out of the ordinary that she ate was a piece of cheese at the veterinarian's office (used to entice her onto that scary scale). The last time she had this problem, I'd given her a little plain yogurt (she'd been on a course of anti-biotics, and I was trying to reintroduce some probiotics back into her system). I'm going to check the ingredients on the puppy food that was giving her the runs and see if there is any dairy in there. It would be good to know.

==============================

DD, in listening to my woes about not having enough reviewers at the Long and the Short of It, secretly made me a poster. What do you think (wrong URL aside):



She's very, very right... we do need help! Want to review some books? *G*

===============================

Did you see my new contest? If you DON'T want to be included in the drawing, but still want to say howdy in the comments, just let me know (once is fine, I'll make a note of it) and I'll exclude you. But, hey--I'm giving away some great books, so why WOULDN'T you want to be included?

================================

And, *sigh*, no writing was done yesterday. You don't want to know what my day was like. Aside from having to take the dog out every fifteen minutes, DD is learning how to subtract mixed fractions by using borrowing AND dividing really big numbers, so she was up and down every five minutes while doing her seatwork. We did not have a moment of peace.

Color me frustrated.

BUT... DH is sleeping in. Perhaps DD will sleep in (she was up late last night--said she was wide awake and couldn't sleep) and the moment I finish up this post, I will open up my document and WRITE SOMETHING.

What Color Nail Polish Best Fits You?

RED? I've never worn red nail polish in my life, except that one time when the SF 49ers were in the Superbowl, and I was working as a cocktail waitress in the bar. I had on my RED jersey, RED lipstick, and RED nail polish. They won. That will tell you how long ago this happened! LOL...
