Ack scary tree!
My two best jobs were when I was working swing shift at the factory 10-7, and when I was working dinner theater hours 5-1. That one was great.

Book: He could hurry... a little.

Thank god it didn't fall on you Amy!! Did it damage any of your yard?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Ack scary tree!
I KNOW!!
It possibly killed our AC, and did some lesser damage to a gutter and the fence. No structural damage to the house (thank DOG) and everything else in the yard looks like just a lot of cleanup.
Sigh. We're going out of town tomorrow. It would be nice to deal with the umpty-million things on that list right now, rather than this.

Jeebeus, Amych, that's terrifying.
I'm at my almost optimal sleep schedule -- 9:00 PM to about 6:00 AM. A nice 9 hours! And an afternoon nap if I can swing it.
I went to Ikea and bought another dining chair so I can get rid of the high chair now. And the crib.

No commentary on Charlene Whitstock? I think she looked beautiful. [link]

Yes, she did. Apparently, she considered calling off the wedding after news of a the prince's third illegitimate child surfaced.
I loved the jeweled thing in her hair.

Art Crawl!!!
Wow. Amych - that is totally scary.
I slept fitfully - woke up at 4 am with a cat eager for me to actually get up right by my side. Did not do that. Got up 7:30ish, fed said cat, made breakfast - settled in to watch the tennis. Post men's final? Feeling rather off - I went for a lie down and just got up.
Before I napped I unexpectedly found my cat lounging in the bathtub. It's not even that hot today!

Because books.
Oh, she did look pretty!
That tree falling really is scary -- something similar happened to my brother and my nephew when they were camping a few years ago, and it caught my nephew's foot. He wound up having three or four surgeries, and he's always going to have a limp now.
As amych said on FB, trees should definitely stay vertical, or at least WARN when they're coming down.

I find that wedding depressing, Kat--doesn't seem much like a love match, what with the age difference and the crazy rumors of new undiscovered children, etc etc
