Oh geez, I forgot it was Tuesday already. Not that it makes a lot of difference one way or the other, but I was thinking to myself, “I need to get xyz done by Wednesday” and just now I realized that’s tomorrow. Uh oh. Okay, so I can deal with this.

My lawn looks like a white trash flower garden. After 6 days away, things were growing like weeds. Well, they are weeds. My lawn stinks. So I pull out the mower, figuring it’s dry enough to at least attempt to mow it. Problem is that DUH I didn’t fully charge it after the last mowing. So combine that with the long grass and the dampness factor, and what little power the thing had promptly disappeared halfway through the front yard. Great. So what’s worse, totally gross long grass everywhere, or half a mow? I hope you all say half a mow, cause that’s what I’ve got.

I wanted to call attention to some comments posted under my last Heidi Erickson post.

Melanie wants to know if anyone knows if she used to be an aerobics instructor back in the 90’s. I’ll leave that open to the floor, althought I’m guessing not. I’m actually pretty sure that the brain chemicals released by exercise negate the brain chemicals needed to actually own more than 20 of any animal, and certainly to keep their remains in your apartment or home.

Also, Angela, you are correct when you say someone I know will start collecting ocelots. Actually, the thought of this keeps me awake most nights.

One more thing – I’d like to post a public reponse to a comment I got in a private email while I was away. To David S., who complained that I don’t get to the point: I never claimed to have one. Try to remember that I wouldn’t have made the Journal of the Mundane if I posted something of substance. Have a nice day.

Bonjour kids! I’m back in Massachusetts after a whirlwind tour of Orlando Florida. Yes, Orlando saved its finest 95 degree weather (about 10 degrees warmer than usual for this time of year) just for us.

I’ll have more stuff to post a bit later…I’m just logging in to download my mail so that stuff doesn’t bounce in my in-box…it appears I got 1200+ pieces of mail, and that’s with my BUSY mailing list turned off the whole time I was gone. If that had been on I’m guessing there would have been 4000 messages or so waiting for me. I run everything through software called MailWasher before I download it, and right now I’m in the middle of deleting 561 of the messages. Well I was in the middle of that when the software crashed. Yea. Now I get to do it again!!!

Last night at the hotel. I here it is 40f colder at home than here. Actually, right now it’s 89 at 9pm. Eek!

Happy mother’s day to all the moms in the viewing audience. Last full day of vacation and i’m sad. You kids be good to mom today.
