Maybe I will quickly vacuum and feel better after then I can return to work with a better attitude.

In my experience vacuuming has never improved my attitude. There aren't many household tasks that I detest more than vacuuming.

Marty, I'm sure it was a bit unsettling for your grand-daughter, but the image you described is pretty funny!

Speaking of grandchildren, I do think the media circus over the royal baby is nuts, but I was happy to hear the official news of the birth.  However, I also felt some sadness because I remember how happy Diana looked in photos with her young children, and I bet William's heart is a little heavy thinking of how he wishes his Mom could be here to meet her grandson.  I tend to think his experience losing his Mom so young (and for the somewhat formal manner his father seemed to have) will make him be a more demonstrative, affectionate father with his own son.  That's just my armchair psychological analysis!

I came to work an hour early for yet another training session on our new software.  Now I'm cleaning up a couple small details before heading home to do my frantic packing.  I've got stuff lying all over the place, but now it's "suitcase time."  I didn't sleep much last night, and my digestive system is already giving me fits from the anxiety over the flight.  By the time DH drops me off tonight (my flight is at 11pm), I ought to be in fine shape.  I did get my iTouch loaded with lots of new music, some comedy movies and podcasts, so if my chemical assistance doesn't knock me full out, hopefully they will help distract me a tiny bit. 

Ugh.  I wish I could just relax and be excited about a week's vacation like normal people.

lol i am weird but I enjoy vacuuming for some reason. Maybe it's because I hate being able to see dog hair on the carpet more than actually sweeping it up. I hate all other household tasks though.

I hate to vacuum but I love the results.  Too bad it never looks good for long with three dogs.  DH usually vacuums but he's been slacking lately and I've let it go too.  We have drifts of dog hair in every corner. 

Tracy, I wish I could wrinkle my nose and tap my heels together three times and you'd be at your destination.  Have fun and enjoy your vacation.

I managed not to try and take over the meeting we just attended.  I'm terrible about wanting to answer questions that weren't asked of me.

Hi all...

Sharon I am so happy that you are feeling like your back on track.  

Congrats to William and Kate.  I have enjoyed the little bit of coverage I have seen.   It is something so real that only appeared in my childhood fairy tales. 

Hope everyone is well and having a great summer so far.

I dropped Abby off at the new groomer, funny thing is I felt good about all week, now I feel like I abandoned her.  And Freida is doing nothing but whine with Abby gone - do you think this will make her be nicer to her when she comes home! I am thinking not!

Jackie take care of that arm.

Now, here I sit waiting for the call to go pick up Abby. (tapping fingers on table inbetween eating everything in sight!)

Lol Jackie I am so bad about that (taking over and answering questions that were not asked of me. It is totally a weakness of mine and I literally have to remind myself constantly to zip it.

I am irritable and trying not to be - after a zillion phone calls, I went ahead and changed my battery. If you haven't replaced your battery in a while you are in for a shock. They have doubled in price in recent years - like so many other products that have specific 'ingredients'. Anyway its done and hopefully that is that.

I gave B a frozen lamb shank for his dinner - this pleased him but he still was *desperate* for some of the sausage and peppers I made for our dinner LOL

We have a mangy looking rabbit that comes out each night while we eat - I feel confident it realizes the Bugsy monster is inside hoping for dinner scraps from us therefore not hunting wabbit. Every night B sees it and has this conflict over whether to go chase it or hope for scraps, he usually goes out for a chase LOL
