It’s Friday! Yay! | slackermama . com

I’m so so so very glad today is a Friday. You’d think with it being a short week, Monday a holiday and all, I would have coasted easily into the weekend. You’d be wrong. I feel like I struggled for each and every day. And I’m just so darned glad to see the weekend here at last that I could cry. Did I work on or do anything particularly difficult this week? Nope. But I’m mentally exhausted anyhow. Doesn’t help that I have a headache. (Actually, when does having a headache help?) Regardless, it’s here at last and I’m pleased as punch about it.

So in celebration, I’m going to gift you all with a series of fairly random bullets to let you know some of the things on my mind these days. Fun for you, eh?

Much like most other people, I’m redefining my tv schedule. We’re working “24″ in, phasing “Ugly Betty” out. We’re watching a lot of NBC on Thursday lately, including “The Office” and “My Name is Earl”. When “Grey’s Anatomy” isn’t new, we watch “Scrubs” and “30 Rock”. We’re not DVR’ing either of those yet, but I’m thinking we should because I missed watching them last night. Or maybe we should just DVR “Grey’s” and watch it on Fridays? Hmm. I still don’t know what time “Lost” will be on when it’s back on in a couple weeks but I trust that ABC will let me know. Repeatedly. Is “Jericho” still on? Has it come back from hiatus? I just remembered that show today and wondered. I watched the second episode of “American Idol” this week and was at the same time horrified and amused. And what the heck is up with Paula?
Speaking of “Grey’s Anatomy” (I was, weren’t you?), I’m disgusted with Isaiah Washington. Poor T.R. Knight. I actually kinda hope they can his ass. There’s just no excuse for that behavior. I know he’s “apologized” and taken ownership for the whole thing but honestly there’s no call for it. I heard that ABC is annoyed, as is pretty much everyone who works on “Grey’s”. I don’t see how he can stay on the show, I really don’t.
I’m so tired of being broke. Amen.
I’m already obsessing about BlogHer this summer. It’s going to be in Chicago. I’m hoping that I’ll be able to work on a workshop this year. Not only would it be tons of fun, but hey, free conference. Not free airfare and hotel though. I heard the rooms would probably go quick and that makes me break out into a cold sweat because that means I’ll have to commit rather early. And since it took me so long to commit and buy conference tickets last year, you can only imagine. Since I imagine I’ll be traveling sans family, I should probably consider finding a roommate to share the hotel cost. These are all of the things that are bouncing around in my head and the conference is like SEVEN MONTHS AWAY. What a noob.
Liam was supposed to have his six month appointment today. But we had to reschedule for various and sundry reasons. The soonest appointment we could get isn’t until February 20th, but we were assured they’d call us if there are cancellations. Which, I’m assuming there will be because look at us! We canceled! There’s hope. I hope we don’t have to wait until February 20th, because then he’ll be having his six month appointment when he’s seven and a half months old and that’s just not right.

And that’s all I have to say about that.

Get the word out:
