This morning I woke up and remembered, for the first time in weeks, that I had jury duty sometime this week. After a frantic search, found the summons and it's for tomorrow. At least I didn't remember on Wednesday....
Tell me more good stuff about me.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It's a fucking winter wonderland outside. Guess I won't be riding my bike to work today....

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
"Good Job, Mom! You held your pee-pee! You peed in the pot!"
Bwahaha!
I am in total denial about potty training. (My mother tells me that this is fine because D will regress when the new baby is born anyway, but I still feel like I should at least be attempting to make some progress before then. Oh well.)

Also, is anyone else disturbed that Hec was first with a requested cat info and link?
I was quite chuffed.
"Good Job, Mom! You held your pee-pee! You peed in the pot!"
Hysterical.
The barista at Starbucks offered me an extra shot of espresso this morning and I said no. What was I thinking?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I cannot decide what to do with my days off. I have 4.5 days left this year and I can roll over up to 3. I have just put in for 2.5 before Christmas. So the remaining 2? Take 1 or both the week after Christmas while mac is in care? or rollover so I will have extra days in the 6 months before the move (since I only get 11 days/year)?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I vote roll over -- you'll want the time.
My random issue of the day: I seem to be doing something in my sleep that works my deltoids. What could it beeeee?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Heh, Kat, that's awesome. Matilda's contribution along the same lines was yesterday while we were visiting my dad. I got up to go to the ladies', she immediately wanted to come with me, and as we were heading down the hall my dad said, "Hey, where are you guys going?"
"Uhhh, we're gonna powder our noses."
Matilda gave me a baffled What is up with you, lying lady telling lies? look and yelled, "Mommy's going to the bathroom to pee!"
Oh my dad, how he did laff and laff.

Interesting quote from Obama:
"Frankly, this town and the way the political dialogue is structured right now is not conducive to what we need to do to be globally competitive. And all of you are leaders in your communities -- in the business sector and the labor sector, in academia, we even have a few pundits here -- it is important to understand what's at stake and that we can't keep on playing games. I mentioned that I was in Asia on this trip thinking about the economy, when I sat down for a round of interviews. Not one of them asked me about Asia. Not one of them asked me about the economy. I was asked several times about had I read Sarah Palin's book. (Laughter.) True. But it's an indication of how our political debate doesn't match up with what we need to do and where we need to go," - president Obama, calling us out.
