I'm sitting here at work. Last night, I had every intention of recording my podcast early and getting to bed at a reasonable hour, except I got sucked in to watching the stupid Grammys. I have no idea why I'm so fascinated with awards shows, especially when I have no real interest in the nominees (I think our household currently has a grand total of 4 CDs from this year's batch of nominees). I wound up pulling out my microphone at about 1:30 am and wound up going to bed at about 3:30.

Three hours later, I was downing my first cup of coffee and walking the chihuahuas (that's not a euphemism for anything sordid - we actually have two chihuahuas). Then I waiting for my lovely wife to listen to the MousePod, because I wanted to see her reaction to my Valentine's dedication to her.

Finally made it into work. Absolutely exhausted and not ready to deal. Many of the other people in the office carry guns. Monday is not a good place to be around so many guns.

...I am doing what I do best, housework avoidance. I did manage to get all of the dishes caught up first thing this morning. Now I need to be working on the living room.

Since it is too busy to go out tonight I am using my crockpot for spagetti sauce. I think I prefer the stovetop for this. In the next hour or so I will get my garlic butter cooking for the bread.

The Lone Monkey is aware that I am off so he is expecting me to pick him up at 3. I think I am gonna make him sweat it out until 3:30. I may take him to Coldstone for icecream as a VD treat (plus I want good icecream). Or I may put that off until tomorrow.

The other Monkeys are home from their dad's house so by 5 I should have a housefull. *sigh* It was such a quiet weekend...

Update:

I got all tanked up on coffee, then called the credit union. The gal there started giving me the standard speil "I'm sorry, but it's our policy..." and I interrupted her and said "You will take off those charges and free up my funds..." So, she did.

Actually, she claimed she was going to anyway before I said anything, but she just wanted me to know that inter- bank transfers...blah, blah, blah. I thanked her, and told her I wasn't in the mood for a lecture. I am going to send a ty note, though, simply because it's rare these days when you can accomplish anything by phone, and so quickly.

So, then we went shopping. Well, first to Denny's, then shopping. I think the Girl is growing up, because she wanted technology rather than toys, namely a AM/FM Radio/Alarm Clock/CD player. She also got a pack of Pokemon cards, so there is still some kid in there....

I just had a brownie. I'd forgotten how much I like brownies.

Downloading the new MousePod. Wondering what to do for dinner. Annoyed that VDay is a Monday night and we already celebrated it this weekend.

In contracts class. A case about a cow. Yee-haw. Wondering how I'm going to drive myself all the way home without falling asleep.

Mousey Girl · 02-14-2005, 07:47 PM

I just got done feeding my Monkeys and then walking them home. I ate to much sketti so the walk did my tummy good.

It is nice and quiet with my Lone Monkey (and its dad).

So far nadda for VD, but then I told him before not to worry about it. He wants lovies but I told him that my actually cooking was all the present he was gonna get

Planning an Amtrak trip to Chicago for the next government holiday 3 day weekend. I've never reserved a sleeper compartment on a train, so that will be something new and fun I hope. I'm bummed that the Monets will still be in Vegas during that time, but I can't wait to see the Thorne Rooms again and a lot more of the Institute. I have to see Wright's home and studio on this trip. NOT NEGOTIABLE.

Awesome! I would love to do that.

Aladdin is on the Disney channel right now.

Flipping between that and the Dog Show.
