Up like the sun, but not as early as I have been. Crawled back in bed for an extra hour of sleep this morning. It was nice.

*yawn*

[worldofcharlie.livejournal.com]

WAKE UP!! *hands you coffee*

[just-the-ash.livejournal.com]

Up for the down stroke. Everybody get up! /P-Funk

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

George is coming next month!!!!!

I hate having two days off in a row. It screws up my sleep schedule so badly it isn't funny.

Good morning! Who wants a bagel? Muffin? Danish? I've got everything here! There's fresh coffee and a selection of teas!

:starts setting up the GR Breakfast Table:

[elderwoodpixie.livejournal.com]

Got any rooibos tea? I could really go for some steak and eggs today. Is the kitchen open?

Me?

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

I am wide awake... like overnight again.

I wrote a crappy piece that is destined for the killfile. I have real life to attend to today, so maybe something will strike me while I work.

Re: Me?

[worldofcharlie.livejournal.com]

yay yay...but err..uh...

what's real life??

I mean I've heard that it exists and people do this....but what is it really?

I mean does it exist on the internet??

*snorts*

thought I'd make you smile..

[boxsofrain.livejournal.com]

Sunny side up! Wait, I hate eggs.

[gratefuladdict.livejournal.com]

Me too bb. Me too.

[thenodrin.livejournal.com]

I'm up, but wishing I wasn't. Wishing I had the PTO to play hooky two days in a row.

Theno

[worldofcharlie.livejournal.com]

already used 'em up to play hooky?

[tigrkittn.livejournal.com]

OMG SO SLEEPY!!

Lots to do at work, lots I'd prefer to be doing at home, starting with a nice long nap!

[kittenboo.livejournal.com]

up just like gmail :)

so what happens if almost everyone chooses scapegoat, because achilles heel does not seem to be a popular topic so far

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

That is certainly an interesting question. It's a gamble isn't it?

[elderwoodpixie.livejournal.com]

I'm up but, unfortunately, I have a teen who's down. I think Monkeyboy's got an ear infection. Poor kid. :-(

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

:(

[worldofcharlie.livejournal.com]

meh...I survived Monday

[abbismom.livejournal.com]

That's always a good sign

[firesign10.livejournal.com]

I'm here...kind of, anyway...think I need more coffee and some food.

My husband is working from home today. Maybe I can write a Home Game...unless I fall into a nap again.

Naps R Us, lately.

[abbismom.livejournal.com]

Depending on what kind of pills they are...jk.

[thepheenixeyri.livejournal.com]

lol...

I'm up like the sun. :)

Seriously toeay's going to be so freaking awesome it's not funny.

I hopped a city buss to publix, walked to Publix, waqlked back from publix, took a bus ...

and walked my ass right up to my damn front door.

With hardly *any* assistance at all.

litterally none, in fact.

::sings:: freeeedom freedom, freedom!

:: done now::..

or.. maybe? Oh gods, I'm just so stoked right now.

Seriously freaking stoked. :)

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

That's wonderful!!!!

:happy kizzydance!:

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

I'm sort of holding my breath today. I've been having pretty bad foot issues lately, went to the doctor earlier, and everything is inconclusive. They want me to try a few things at home before deciding the next step. Ember's going to That Awful Place™ at noontime because she's been having a few issues. We just found out the little gray car (the one I take to work) is springing no less than 4 different leaks and we don't know if they're still under warranty. There's a leak under the boiler and the washer's making funny sounds. And my doctor wants me to quit smoking.

:curls up into a ball and sucks her thumb because it's better than screaming into the void:

[thepheenixeyri.livejournal.com]

Oh no!

::hugs the Kizzy::

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

I'm awake and looking forward to heading out to IHOP, for their FREE short-stack of pancakes today, in honor of Mardi Gras (aka "Fat Tuesday")!!

(Free pancakes good from 7am-10pm, today only!!)

[abbismom.livejournal.com]

Fuck it. I say let's order in today. What sounds good? Chinese? Pizza? BBQ with all the fixin's?

[gratefuladdict.livejournal.com]

All of the above? I could go for some sesame chicke and some honey walnut prawns. Who cares if it's not 10am yet? :D

[abbismom.livejournal.com]

BTW, have ya'll read imafarmgirl's entry yet? It is precious and heart-breaking, all at the same time. The part about the family from Mexico just tugged at my gut. Her writing always just sucks you in...as I've said before, it is so three-dimensional and interactive.

[brightflashes.livejournal.com]

Up like the sun and down about gmail - I hadn't noticed heh.

Looking forward to reading the other idol entries that have been posted so far. For me, this was the hardest topic(s) yet.

What about the rest of the greenies? What has been the hardest topic so far for you?

[boxsofrain.livejournal.com]

I can't wait to read yours! I am putting mine up tonight.

For me the hardest topic was "Sexual Healing", only because I felt like it was hard to write about that under pressure.

[pricelessone.livejournal.com]

If anybody likes sleeping in but still wants breakfast, come to my place for French toast casserole. Breakfast for dinner! Yum!

[thepheenixeyri.livejournal.com]

French toast caserole? THat's new on me.

Have a cold, debating how much of my seriously cranky to unleash on others, because when I blow town to party in L.A. for five days and come back and say "what did I miss?" resounding silence is not, in fact, an adequate representation of "there was a long discussion about how people find you repellent."

Everyone's entitled to their taste. It's just the bad manners and self-righteousness that get a little wearying.

1. I have a big friends list because people like to read my stuff. Why is this rocket science?

2. I write about the stuff I do, because this is what my life looks like.

3. Any assertion that even begins to imply "men write about ideas and women write about their own little lives" is sexist and offensive, and whether my existence is part of the discourse or not, I take it personally. Anyone who enjoys the personal essay form should. It's incredibly demeaning.

Had to get that out of my system so I can write my damn entry.

Happy Tuesday!

[brightflashes.livejournal.com]

"there was a long discussion about how people find you repellent." If I had seen this? I don't even want to imagine how I would have reacted, given that I'm a pretty reactive reactory? person, especially under stress and when it involves something that I feel passionate about.

Yes, I'm saying in the Green Room right now that I support and consistently vote for rm. Not based on character though if it were that, I'd still consistently vote, but based on what her writing does to me. Open yourselves up, idolers, and see what she does with her rich developed voice, her entries that ask no permission, her words which flow out of her as if she is meant to say them, and the layers of humanity that lie between the lines of her essays. Don't look at her as a person who has high numbers. Look at her as a person who has worked for those high numbers and earned every one of them, including the one that I cast.

[darkprism.livejournal.com]

I never thought I would be here in Idol...

Right now is usually the time of the week when I'm cleaning up my entry to post it tonight/early tomorrow.

But this one...this one's really hard. It's nonfiction and extremely personal.

I've managed to stay off the list of shame all season...but this week might prove my downfall. (DOH! spydielives will be so disappointed in me!)

I guess I'm still debating as to whether I should post this blasted thing or not...write something else? Gah...

Don't mind me...just mulling over my options and beating my head against a few walls.

Hope the rest of you who haven't posted yet are having an easier time than I.

Peace & kittens.

I might be right there with you...

*sad face*

Favorite way to relax?

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

So I went out of my way tonight to find an economy size bottle of Mr Bubble. I have tried so many different bath products, but ultimately this is the one that never fails to help me relax.

And no, my mom did not use it when I was a kid.

What is your favorite way to relax?

Re: Favorite way to relax?

[gratefuladdict.livejournal.com]

Music goes a long way for me - preferably combined with reading and/or a bubble bath. I like to listen to things that capture a certain mood and let me zone out. Radiohead's album Kid A is one of my favorites for this, or Sigur Ros' Untitled album. Sometimes I just go for classical. It just helps me unwind.

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

I think it's funny that other than a couple people, after rm's comment, everyone found a fascinating spot on the wall that needed to be stared at immediately!*G*

[thepheenixeyri.livejournal.com]

lol!

I was to busy basking in the awesomeness that was this morning, damnit! :d
