Talk Amongst Yourselves

Salient Facts:


  1. Reha is out of town until Friday night.

  2. Because of #1 and my sixteen children, I lack the will to live after 8:30 PM, never long try and be witty, clever or funny

  3. Jonah, the poster child for ADD, has a book report due on Wed. We will both be lucky to be alive come Wednesday morning.

  4. Normal work stuff: Big Client, Tight Deadlines, Insanity, the Usual Fare™.

  5. The new Madonna album drops today. (OK, technically, I don’t really care about Madonna’s new album, but I really don’t care about GTA IV coming out today and that’s about the only other thing happening in media right now.

  6. I am bereft of creativity.

Take all those and stir them up in a pot (a hefty dose of #6, of course) and what do you have? A giant soufflé that deflates on your plate:

I’ll be back next week.

Wait, are you smirking? Stop that!

This is serious stuff! I can’t just let the kids fend for themselves, lock myself in the bedroom and write! (I generally write late in the evenings).

I have to be all responsible and be the Main Parental Unit for a WEEK!

People won’t get fed unless I do it!

Well, technically we have enough junk in the house that the kids could just graze and scrounge enough calories to get by, but NOT on my watch, baby! Real meals. With vegetables and hitting all the major food groups. At Chez Dad we dine well. Or we go out to someplace that has all the major food groups and takes AmEx.

Anyway, this week is going to be goofier than usual for me and updates will be virtually non-existent, I suspect.

Holy Crap! Look at all this STUFF down here. It's awesome!

 

Really, I'm glad you made it down here. Almost no one ever comes down here. I'm like in a freaking dungeon down here. I get lonely. But not you. YOU made it all the way to the end of the page. For this I think I've a little crush on you. I don't know, is "love" to strong a word to use in this situation? Well, if it's not "love," then it's very strong "like." I'm totally in like with you for coming down here. You are awesome. Please love me back! I know, I know, I shouldn't be all needy, it's not attractive at all, but you don't know how it is to be stuck down here. Who scrolls all the way to the end of a page anymore these days? Anyway, thanks for shedding some light down here in the depths. I appreciate it. Shoot me an email and I'll send you a dollar, OK?
