LOVE this post for its ease of read, yet punch of info! It’s real, insightful and a kick in the pants. 10 min on twitter?! do you set a timer? social networking/email is my biggest distraction
Clever! So true. Hope the PO Box brings lots of fun news, and some surprise checks. Curious about the article database – is that an inventory of your work?
If even half of this is true, what a lovely, productive day it is 🙂
I think I’m going to use this as a template for tomorrow…
Ha, ha! That was GREAT! And I bet I know why the microwave was used so many times. You had to keep reheating the 3 cups of coffee and 1 cup of tea over and over because all the other activities you were doing caused them to grow cold before you could finish enjoying them, right? ;o)
LOL Holly. I was going to say the same thing! I know I use the micro a shameful number of times a day for just the same reasons. 🙂
Love it!!
What a great post! I like how you combined work and family because as much as I try to separate them, one always spills over into the other like milk on graded papers.
