Slept 14 hours after convention ended. Not that it wasn't a good time. #SouthEastHS #
Today will be a day of itty bitty planes. #
Itty bitty planes were accompanied by itty bitty customer service. #
I am home. With a glass of red wine, making homemade pasta filled w/cheese, surrounded by children and dogs, watching a disaster movie. Ahh. #
Time to face down my Priority A email box like a woman. #
My daughter has hung a rainbow-maker in the kitchen window, and my kitchen is filled with gliding squares of color. (But no unicorns.) #
Hyperactive border collie really wants to drink red wine marinating liquid from tonight's flatiron steaks. I kind of want to give it to her. #
My Stress-Relief Body Lotion promises to Calm and Relax as it Moisturizes. Suspect it may be past its sell-by date. #
Soothing ylang ylang candles not doing the trick either. What's ylang ylang? #
Wow. I am learning all sorts of new facts about ylang ylang. #

"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means." #
I'm trying to write today, honest, but I'm distracted because I keep waiting to see Rod Serling appear from behind a tree. #

Winner of this year's Diagram Prize for the year's oddest book title: Managing a Dental Practice The Genghis Khan Way, by Michael R. Young. #
Just taught DS14 how to make meatloaf. Had a little trouble convincing him that "loaf" means "don't sculpt the meat into intriguing shapes." #
DS17 working on college application essay: Write Page 87 of your autobiography and show where you think you'd be. I might write one myself. #
So far, I have overslept, missed morning run, broken some dishes, forgotten an appointment. Anne of Green Gables would call it a Jonah day. #
