Drifting in and out of various threads here on MobileRead while working on a new article about custom fonts for the SONY Reader for my blog (Gadgetic Musings). I'm also listening to music (like Ephixa's excellent Zelda Step album) while conducting these activities.

Wow! Multitasking

Me I'm NOT doing what I'm supposed to be doing right now. And it feels great! Not a drop of remorse, none... Not one!

I just wrote a review of the Kindle 3 on my blog. Now I'm hungry so I think I'll go make a grilled cheese sandwich.

Fighting to stay awake. I think my body finally got the message that not only are finals done, but Melora and the baby are back home and there's no reason I can't sleep for umpteen hours in a row now...

I looked at those in Walmart. They are the dishes that I plan on having. If we ever get to move into our new condo.

Did you and Chris get to have lots of Grandma and Grandpa fun with the baby? Any pics?

DG - how's the great condo hunt going? Still waiting for the committee from hell to decide if you're OK folk?

I'm off to eat breakfast and then go buy discounted p-books. Vive la procrastination! Then, maybe, I will get some work done

Yeah, how's that going, DG? Are they still delaying you?

What I think I've decided is to go with the cheap Walmart knockoffs for plates, bowls, cups that we use every day and get a few pieces of the Fiesta in serving pieces like the pitcher, salt/pepper shakers and the sugar/creamer set. Maybe a few of the bigger bowls.

I didn't get as much time as I wanted with the baby (which probably isn't surprising, since "enough" time with her would be every day, forever, LOL). Next time they come I'm planning it better though and timing it for a school break. Here's a couple of pictures while she was having "tummy time" on the floor...

Done packing, trying to relax. Leaving early for the airport tomorrow. Not because the plane is early, but because there is a train strike.

After that, all she had to do was agree they could stay up as she really needed the help cleaning.

(On regular cleaning days, she made it "different" by having music on and all working in the same room to clean and then having a "special" snack and movie when they were done.)

I wondered about the movie. Is the book good? Which is better?

For a job? Have a great time.

How did you do on your showing?

DG. How is it going?

Shel, Yay! for sleep and the school break, but so sad they had to go back home now. Thanks for the darling pictures.

I plan to get the cobalt blue set.

We are still in limbo. They have 2 more weeks to jerk us around according to the contract. I am getting very tired of waiting on them.

Well it was nice, but rather quiet.

At the airport now, horribly early b/c of the darn strike. About 2 hours to warch rain fall and planes rake off. I found out I forgot my guide books, both of them!
