mixed, schmixed.

okay, there should be mixed curling at the olympics, but there isn't. and given that there's not likely to be, datlowen and i will never be able to bring our particular brand of on-ice insanity to the international stage ... so sad.

but life is like that. a girl should focus instead on her women's team, if she wants to go places. darthrami and flt, do you think L would come to the olympics with us? it'd be a while away from the family, after all. :-) but you know there'd be lots. of. curling. :-D we can take those girls from minnesota, don't you think? shoot, they can't do an flt-weight takeout, no matter how canadian they are.

today at work:

got lots of work done, actually. there's just one pending project on my desk, and that's going to take a while to finish -- i did make progress on it today, though, and genuinely finished everything else that needed doing.

cleaned my desk.

balanced checkbook.

paid long-distance bill and signed up for COBRA.

ordered shoes.

priced moving trucks.

cancelled gym membership, effective 30 days from now.

i'm a little alarmed by this productivity. i've got a stack of clothes at home ready to be donated, as well. i'm gradually getting packed. etc.

dudes. who am i, and what have i done with fox?

hey, ellen_fremedon
