Muchas Gracias!

Was this up last summer or is it new? Tori looked familiar but the interview sounded new to me. I love "You Can Bring Your Dog" and I love listening to her talk about it.

Thanks, I feel like I'm becoming your Neil...

Da Nada (i think...i HOPE that means youre welcome)

This interview took place before the tour and before rehersals (hey no wigs) but I don't know that it was released until now.

It's funny that you mention Neil. That was my favorite part of the interview

Interviewer: "Do you think Neil Gaiman umm"
Tori: "I always think Neil Gaiman. He's my buddy."
Interviewer: "Cool"

In fact that whole section rocked. I got a whole other glimpse of "protecter" PIP.

I'm happy I got the Led Zep vibe on You Can Bring Your Dog before she commented on it.

Good stuff there. I really liked the advice part as well. Spiritual and intellectual answers.

I weigh in at 225.

Today is "get ready to go back to work" day.

must launder my entire work wardrobe and see what now works.

Grocery shopping for quick on the go lunch and breakfast.

I don't feel ready for this. I'm still so tired. The negative anticipation in killing me. I know I'll be fine once I get there. It's just the process of actually getting there.

my words may dry up for a while. My work is mentally taxing. esp when I have to get caught up. Stuff changes daily there and I'm so out of the loop right now..

I go back Sunday. It was good while it lasted

Awwww... I bet you'd love to just stay home with your little guy and play all day!

You'd better plan on shopping before you return to work... I'm sure you'll be swimming in your clothes!!!

I'm planning on two weeks off and then going back for partial days just to keep up with things... Easier than letting it all pile up while I'm gone!

HUGS and enjoy the weekend!

Katie,

I wish I knew what your voice sounded like so I could hear a big:
"I TOLD you SO."

My clothes just did not shrink enough despite my best efforts with the dryer. My sister-in-laws mom has tons of my clothes that she is going to take in for me but I never got over there for a fitting. I have a few things that will work for the the first week or so.

You are incredible for going back so early. It helps when you love what you do. Having been there since 1990, I'm sure they adore you and wouldn't know whar to do without you!

I tell the big cheeses (whenever they need reminiding) that "the only reason I am here is so I can do my real job well. My real job is MOM. Ash comes first."

I do plan on going back to school when Ash is a bit older and persuing what I really want to do. I just fell into customer service/tech support and got stuck there.

I am so stressed about going back. I preworry about everything. I'll be fine once I'm there. It's the getting there that is hard. I'm sure you understand this right now

It's almost your day. I still can't get over Fat Tuesday. Meant to be.

I signed up and registered for the Susan G. Kolmen 3 day walk today. When I found out it cost 90.00 to register I almost changed my mind. When I found out the minimum amount you need to raise to walk is 2200.00 I almost walked out, but didn't want to be rude. I ended up staying and then shedding tears while I watched the video of the strong women who walked and the breast cancer survivors who shared thier stories (some of them no longer with us) I ended up whipping out my check book and signing on to become part of this incredible movement. It's all about stepping out of my comfort zone and using this surgery to do things that were unthinkable previously. I am so excited.

Now I am off to watch a movie with singing vegtables. The Pirates who don't do ANYTHING. I adored JONAH when it came out and own that movie. Ash thought he was too old for Veggies Tales until he went with Gma last week to a double feature. Now he wants to share the essence of not doing anything with me......

I'll THINK about preparing to go to work tomoro when I get home.

I have to learn to pitch a TENT.

I am overwhelmed.

That is all.

My first instinct was uproarious and side-splitting laughter at this...I think the other men here probably know immediately what I'm laughing at.

That said, I shall come back from my 6th-grader immature brain and say:

Lay the tent out flat, put all the poles together and slide them through the threadings. Bend them into the last hole in each corner, and stake that sucker to the ground. Best to do this before it gets dark.

It's not hard...or wait...damn immaturity jumped back in my brain again! Bother!

Sorry...if all else fails, watch the others put their tent up first, then you do what they did and look like a pro.

Mike,

You get me. You just get me.
That's why I put it in PINK

Me and D had like our third fight ever tonight. I needed some humor.

It was my subtle way of saying I need to fight like a man without saying too much. It all tied together nicely. And now I *have* said too much. But I'm also laughing.

I'm sure I can watch someone far more experienced then I erect the tent. That's the least of my worries on the walk.

Liz and I have been in sort of a moody place too. Maybe it's viral, or in the air or something. I can't think of another time in my life where I've been so analytical about shit. I'm like lost in thought 24/7. I've been having all of these thoughts of being disconnected or "put upon" but I think it's really just my reaction to a series of petty events that I normally wouldn't care about at all. I'm not going crazy or anything (crazy people don't question their sanity...) but I'm driving Liz crazy. Do you ever get the feeling that you're just in a strange land and that nothing seems familiar? That's kind of where I'm at. (Little Earthquakes usually helps prolong this mood...it's not necessarily bad...but right now, I'm rocking with Fiona, and she's a little darker, but not as smart about making good decisions.) I wish I was more psychic...I want to know about tomorrow without leaving today.

Also, I'm drinking this white tea with blueberry Crystal Light and I can't decide if it's a transcendental taste, or just so crappy that it masquerades as refreshing. (Like Crystal Pepsi...remember that?)

I'm feeling Jane's Addiction coming on...my condition is getting mellower (but that also means less likely to be shiny or happy for several days...).

Don't sweat the fight...Liz and I still did our whole little 'Good night, God bless' routine and semi-apologized. At least we're pretty open and talk about stuff. This will blow over...go listen to "Datura," I'm pretty sure the meaning of life is in that song because I have no idea what the hell she's saying.
