I just want to say…

That the date and time on these posts are wrong, and as soon as I figure out how to change it, I will. I am not up at 3:30 a.m. blogging when I’m supposed to be working. It is still Tuesday. Thank you and goodnight.

The paper.

I have a 10 page paper due on Friday. I’m supposed to present my paper topic tomorrow at 6 p.m. (though the paper doesn’t have to be completed). So far, I have zero pages written, and am still trying to narrow down from three possible topics:
1. The rhetoric of Barak Obama and the sibaltan (as [...]

Today I will…

stay home from work because Super L’s babysitter needed the day off. This was a planned day, so I took a personal day. It’s nice to be home from work for a reason other an illness.

Playing catch up–Vol. 2: At home.

This is just a test…

…to see if I can post a picture yet.

Success! Woo-hoo! This is Super L. Isn’t she beautiful? And doesn’t she look like a total smart a**? At least in this pic she does.
I know that I am very very very very very overdo for a blog. I promise I will update soon. With pics. Thanks [...]
