Phew. I thought I missed the voting post. I've been so off with my days this week.

Heh, I kept thinking today was Sunday, yesterday was today, etc., which meant that I almost went to work this morning when it was my day off!

Working on my entry, and straightening up the house a bit since friends whom hubby and I haven’t seen in months are coming over for dinner and game night tomorrow, which means I expect to be busy a few hours before the deadline. Hoping to post my entry by bedtime tonight.

I have two unfinished home game entries. Does that mean I'm a slacker too?

In other news I treated myself to a pair of wireless earbuds today. I don't listen to much stuff unless I'm driving, but I thought they'd be nice to have when doing yard or housework. Any podcast recs?

[clauderainsrm]

You would be a slacker even if you'd finished those!! ;)

re: podcasts, some broad ones —

1). "Ologies" by Alie Ward is great. (She talks to people who are experts in whatever field, like volcanology or the like — she's a great interviewer and she gets some very interesting people!)

2). "Normal Gossip" is great. Basically: take gossip, anonymize it, and share it with the masses. The stories are wild but they're generally low-stakes and very fun.

3). "Snap Judgment" is host Glynn Washington hearing stories from people who have lived interesting lives or had very strange experiences. The production quality is excellent and the stories are truly fascinating.

4). "The Moth" gets people on stage to tell stories about whatever topic they'd like. The stories are usually very compelling (they screen storytellers pretty carefully), and it makes for very interesting listening. :)

Ooh, I love both Snap Judgement and The Moth! Never heard of the other two. I'll check them out. Thanks!

I went wine tasting with a new friend today. It went well; we ended up grabbing dinner afterward, and found out that we have more in common than we thought. Nice feeling!

Entry is in a day early because I thought the deadline was today. :P

Entry is posted! Also, I feel sad that Oxymoron67 got ousted right before the "Figure of Speech" prompt.

I'm spending this weekend in my happy place (the Disney resort on Hilton Head Island).

We went to brunch this morning, then Walmart, and now I'm relaxing in our unit. We are right next to the pool, so I get to listen to the pool party all day long and can sit our on our balcony to watch what's going on. I'm still working from here, but also taking some time to enjoy vacation. We are planning to go to the beach tomorrow (for as long as we can stand the heat).
