Much ado about everything April 25, 2008
Posted by spacemom in : Current Affairs, Dr. Jay , trackbackThere’s just WAY too much going on inside my head. First of all, I need to finish writing up an SOP (standard operating procedure) for work, but I can’t find the one fricken email that I need to do this. Gah! While searching my email, I discovered that I had missed an email on Friday (well, I was out of town) from my boss asking me to do something on the "fairly important" scale of things. Frick.
Secondly, I got my hair colored today. Second time ever. I really like it, but I get a headache from the chemicals. Then I start to worry, should I be doing this? What if these chemicals will cause some major life changing event? What if I develop an allergy to the chemicals (do not laugh! I am allergic to almost every lipstick out there…) What if I look silly with my new color ("copper penny")? Then I notice that Kelly wasn’t around. Then I was realizing that Kelly’s husband was flirting with my hairdresser. Then I figured out that they were going to Cancun together (my hairdresser and the owner). OMG! So I casually asked if Kelly was planning to do massages when the rooms are built (they just moved to a new place) and I found out the sordid details of Kelly leaving said owner! The gossip! I felt like I needed to out myself as a gossip monger or something. This is just not me!
Did I mention I need to finish this stupid SOP? So I can write another one? A brand new one to send up a new software patch to the spacecraft? The last time we did this, I went into pre-term labor with Luna. I wonder if this is why I am stalling.
I finished "Princes in Love" while getting my hair colored. I blame Becky. If she hadn’t brought "Princess Mia", the eighth Princess Diaries book, to my house and REFUSE to lend it to me until I had read the other seven, I wouldn’t be overwhelmed with Meg Cabot right now. But, Here I am…
And Meg Cabot has a blog. Very very cool. I read WAY too many blogs
I’ve been painting the railing on my deck. We’ve been avoiding it like the plague, but when there is too much wood showing, what can you do? We expect to lose the deck in our reconstruction in 2 years, but… I am now covered with white paint.
Jay got a letter from one of the Big Wigs (BW for short) in his specialty of astrophysics and it basically said "The next time we have this meeting should be in Cambridge Mass. BW1 and BW2 and I have spoken and we think you should work with BWs X & Z from MIT. You could be the CfA person to lead." (sorry for all of the secrecy… I know that a few people have some astro connections here and I just don’t want to out Jay!) Well! I called up Jay and he still thinks he is just a lowly guy in the field. I keep explaining to him that BW1 really likes his work and for BW2 to be even aware of him (which I know BW2 is more than just aware of Jay), should remind him that he is not just small fish in big pond. He is so self-deprecating some times! UGH!
Did I mention that last week I spent all Wednesday working on the spacecraft software patch? And that it nearly killed me? mentally, that is.
We made Passover pancakes two nights ago. It’s mostly egg and cottage cheese, but Soleil LOVED them. She ate them up. This was a shock for us since she rarely eats. Although I just checked the CDC, she is 50 percentile. I thought she was much lower considering how much bone she shows. And that size 5 slips off of her hips! We’re making the pancakes again tonight.
Thanks to ALL who know the Princess Bride so well. I often yell to Jay "Have fun Storming the Castle" when we depart, and the kids don’t get it…one day, when they won’t be afraid of the ROUS, we can watch it together.
I guess I really have to do this SOP,eh? Sigh… Okay, I’ll go get to work..Then to Starbucks.!
