    Thanks, CC.

    I got up this morning and plugged in the TV (that's how seldom I watch it). Remembering the sudden awareness that the first plane wasn't just a horrible accident.

    It's raining and chilly here. I'm going to Y to run on the treadmill. It's good to be on vacation.

    Cool new snake Nanci - he's beautiful!

    I have a wierd association with 5 years ago today. It was the first day that I wore maternity clothes to work (when preg with FishJr). I was so excited. Then - it seemed so insignificant.

    Vacation - I asked the question, so I guess I could answer it too. I would love to go Scotland and Australia and New Zealand. I think those would be my top choices.

    Lise - enjoy your vacation! Good luck with the new round of dating possibilities. I look forward to hearing all about Mr. so and so. Maybe this time you'll find Mr. Nearly perfect. I say nearly perfect because perfect would get annoying

    SF TE ladies - I'm "extra bitter" today. Picked one up to remind me of the trip

    I have come to the conclusion that there is no such thing as Mr. or Ms. Perfect. (protects me from becoming extra bitter...) Now, where's the chocolate?

    and <whispering>
    where's. my. bike?

    Just called the bike shop (again). Gotta love that time zone difference.

    The bike is "in transit" now! Wooo-hooo! It even has a tracking number for FedEx.

    The shop couldn't quite figure out how much they'd charged my credit card, but once they do figure out how much they charged me they'll send me a reciept.

    Ok...

    Now I have 20 minutes to shower, dress, pack a lunch, pack the pannier, and walk the dog.

    Byyyyeeeeeee!

    choco is cute, Nanci! I just got two feral kittens too. I am a kitty cat foster mother... One is Babe, a gorgeous silver tabby and white, and the other is Freddie, a terrified little grey boy.
    So far no one has bitten me. I am hoping to calm Freddie down enough so that it doesn't happen. Babe is a mellow guy. Once he learns how much fun life
    can be, he'll be a great cat..

    Knotted,
    you'll be clicking on the UPS tracker website 300 times a day. that's what i did waitng for my own bike. and of course, my bike was shipped over memorial day weekend; it took FOREVER!

    I'm trying to not freak out- because I'm a _little_ worried about the size of the screen cover...He'd better be in there when I get home.
