I'm all tuckered out from the high-speed geekery of yesterday.

Also, I have yet to be asleep. I left the computer at midnight (after a spectacular friendship!fail that I may never recover from), and at 4 I stopped staring at the ceiling and picked up a book.

I've been at work for 3 hours already.

So I got nothin'.

Cricket folks are very enthusiastic.

Yes, yes they are. Perhaps more so than baseball fen.

Aw, StuntHusband. Many hugs to you.

One of our neighbors has a cricket bat. There were people playing cricket in out court. It was a tad surreal , because it was happening when I couldn't really see.

I'm sorry, StuntHusband. Peaceful thoughts headed your way. I hope you are able to have restful renewing sleep later.

Yesterday we picked the granite for the new kitchen counter/bar area (went with a mostly black, matte piece), stone tile for the kitchen floor (gray slate), and a soapstone countertop for the bathroom (gray with hint of blue). So exciting! Almost makes living in a hellhole piled high with boxes (kitchen and bathroom cabinets) and tons of dust worth it. Almost.

Very cool, GC! After months of dithering, this weekend we are finally going to get the tile for our kitchen backsplash. I think we are going with white subway tile and black grout, but that could all change when we see what's on sale.

You're renovating while pregnant, GC?? I mean, I suppose better than renovating while having small baby, but...eep!

How the hell does a gas station in Alabama have a cricket bat?

I suppose the answer of "is from country where cricket is popular" makes more sense, but having just watched "Shaun of the Dead", I too went to a "is prepared for zombies!" place.

I am NOT prepared for anything, myself. I slept for SIXTEEN HOURS yesterday (including a six hour nap from 2-8pm). This is NOT working for me. Oy. WTF body? WTF?

Oh dear, SH. I hope things resolve themselves, and PLEASE be kind to yourself.
