So...

I should be getting in the shower because I need to take the girls to school this morning (Toben usually drives them AND picks them up) in order to meet my cookie mom to finish up dealing with all the Girl Scout cookie money. And then I need to go to the bank. And then I have a department lunch at the seminary.

And there's a midterm on Friday to study for.

And as much as I say I'd like to, I really don't want to go meet with professors and other students in my jammies.

Instead, I thought I'd pop in to say good morning. "Top of the morning to you!"

(I really should be working my way through my email inbox, but oh well. I'm in a little email rebellion, I think. I got an email from the seminary telling me to go activate my "dmail" account so they can send my email there too. NO! I already have two email accounts and it's plenty, thankyouverymuch.)

I accidentally kicked a desk yesterday afternoon when I went up to talk to my professor. I just kept on talking, trying to ignore the pool of blood on my new gold flip flop. Turns out the nail is loose and wiggly--kind of like one of Emma's teeth. Gross!

Toben bandaged it all up for me so I don't have to look at it, but it hurts like crazy and is making me limp. Which is making my back hurt. I think I'm falling apart.

So that's why I'm avoiding a shower too. Because then I have to get dressed. And the only shoes I can possibly wear today are flip flops. And I don't remember if they'll match what I picked out to wear today.

Emma keeps telling me you can't begin a sentence with "and." Which you clearly can. You can break rules if you know them and know you're breaking them on purpose. Which works in grammar and writing, but falls completely apart if you try to go for any kind of spiritual metaphor.

I'm rambling now (like I haven't been since you started reading!) and need more coffee and a shower.

Have a terrific Tuesday, ya'll, and don't forget to wear green.

(Oh no, there's no green in the outfit I picked out! Did you notice I've already picked out my clothes for the week? After three or four weeks of intending to do this, I actually did! It really makes mornings so much better for everyone. Even if I'm going to have to rethink it all to include green and flip flops today. Maybe green flip flops...?)

I don't think I own anything in green to wear!
So sorry to hear about your toe. Ouch! I'll be praying for it and your back.
My birthday present from Amazon arrived yesterday: your book!!! I've just read a bit and am off to get up the little guys I hear upstairs chattering away. Miss you.

Beannacht La Fheile Padraig! Happy St. Patrick's Day! Oh dear, you make me smile...you with your poor toe, green flip flops, and broken and sentences! Smiles from this little leprechaun to you(ever mention I'm barely five foot?)!!

I wore green to office (Actually green and white stripes) but no one noticed or said anything :(...I hope your toe is healing well. I am totally amazed by the green color of Chicago river ..have been looking at the pictures for the last 15 minutes. Seriously I need to get back to work....Take care friend...Smiles :))

LOVE the rambling tone, the grammarian's rule-breaking, and the allusion to breakdown of a spiritual metaphor. You are on fire today! :) Such fun.

Owie owie owie! Flip flops are wonderful until you HAVE to wear 'em! Hang in there girl.
