<p>What's fun today? Besides that it's almost the weekend?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm up picking up the house a bit more. Mostly I just have sweeping left. Mostly. Dh still has a couple things to do.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Fun: We're hosting my family's monthly brunch this weekend. We're making everyone come out here for it since Sisterleenie and I are doing GCM. <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"></p>

<p>Hi Katholeenie!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I don't know what it is but I've got a song in my heart today.  The sun is shinning.  I haven't a care in the world. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I wish you all the same for the day. </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>QOD:</strong> what song popped in your head when I said I had a song in my heart?  No.  This is not about me.  I think the song you hear in your head/heart (whatever) says alot about the person you are. </p>

<p><strong> QOD -</strong> For some reason this one by Sting - <a href="http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/sting/rocksteady.html" target="_blank">Rock Steady</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Good morning! </p>

 

[wipaddler]

<p><strong>QOD</strong> B!tch by Merideth Brooks.  I love that song. </p>

<p>morning peeps.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Another of my best work friends is leaving.  Today is her last day; she's moving to NYC to be with her fiance. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>This is sort of tipping me over the edge today.  I've been holding back tears since I woke up this morning.   </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Fun on the docket:  Duck arrives tomw!  (Not fun:  I have to clean my house before then!)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>QOD:  I heard <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63f4RGOl6DU" target="_blank">"All the People Say" by Portugal. the Man</a> twice on the radio this morning...whether I like it or not, it's stuck in my head right now.</p>
<p>

</p>
<p> </p>

 

[KP]

<p>Fun:  have a fundraiser/scholarship dinner to go to tonight for <strong>Tonya's</strong> students.  The one chance a year to get dressed up that doesn't involve burials or nuptials.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>QOD</strong>:  sorry no music in my head this morning.</p>

 

[gatorbob]

<p>Umm, today's not actually tax day.  But I never did hear why it was moved to April 18 this year...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>However, since it is April 15, that means it's Leonardo Da Vinci's birthday.  Happy 559th, Leo!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Uh, I have "Self Esteem" by The Offspring in my head now.  Heard it on the radio this morning.  But I certainly wouldn't say it's "in my heart"...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It's Friday!  <span><img alt="banana.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/banana.gif" style="width:33px;height:35px;"></span></p>

 

[BigGahoona]

<p> </p>
<p><strong>QOD</strong>:  Janis Joplin "Piece of My Heart"</p>
<p> </p>
<p>That's all I've got today. No fun and no fun in the forecast.  Tomorrow might have fun, I might go get a pedicure with my Mom, so that's something to look forward to!</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>

 

[bard73]

<p>Today isn't tax day because it is some holiday in the DC area that closes businesses, accd to the blurb I heard on NPR as I drove to work this a.m.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>QOD-</strong>  I've had a song in my head that we learned for my chorus' spring concert (I had a late rehearsal last night).  It's a fun version of "How Can I Keep From Singing". </p>

 

[praecipua]

<p>I also have no song in my heart this morning.  Thanks for all the support, folks, and I'll try to make today the last doom and gloom day.  Today is the vote, and though I will be in the building when the vote occurs, my chair is such a weenie that he's going to call me to tell me the results instead of telling me to my face.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I had a major, crazy, horrible stress dream early this morning that officially kicked off the "depression" stage of my grief (though I never really went through denial).  I had to talk myself out of bed to go to the gym and get my mandated workout in.  It was so horrible for two reasons.  First, the right players were in the dream, and second, the previous dream had been quite lovely.  Anyhow, today will be a bit of a challenge, but I'm going to go buy the Harry Potter DVD after I jump in the shower and then maybe I'll go buy shoes before heading into the office.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Possible weekend fun:  My ex-boyfriend, who I was so head-over-heels for two years ago (was it really that long ago?) contacted me last night and we sent a bunch of texts back and forth.  It looks like he might come over on Saturday to watch HP with me.  (Our first date was going to see the 6th movie.)  I think I'm entitled to make some bad decisions in the next little bit.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Probably not-fun fun:  My Difficult Movie Night group is convening on Sunday to watch "Restrepo" and while the movie will probably make me sad, it'll be nice to hang out with a bunch of folks.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>((((<span style="color:#006400;"><strong>Maria</strong></span>, <strong>J</strong>, and <strong>Dillon</strong>))))</p>
<p>((((<strong>Moe</strong>))))</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Lots of love and hugs to those who need them.</p>

 

[Maples]

<p><strong>QOD:</strong>  Oddly nothing.  Music is huge to me but I am drawing a blank.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Happy Friday!  There is a massive thunderstorm right now and it is supposed to rain up until about 4 pm then it is supposed to be sunny and 70.  Gotta love spring weather  <span><img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>I'm ready for the weekend.  I have a lunch meeting out of town so that will nicely cut about 2 hours off my Friday work day (thank you very much). </span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>We are about to have donuts at work for breakfast.  I better head to the kitchen!</span> <span><img alt="surprised.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/surprised.gif"></span></p>

[Runninlaw]

<p>Cute shoes.  I am wearing my sweet boots and funky socks today.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>No song in my head or heart this morning yet.  Still need to wake up.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Fun:  I slept in until 6:15 this morning.  Boy did I need that.  I haven't slept well all week.  And.it.is.time.to.rest.rest.rest.rest.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Not fun:  There is a reason lawyers have a bad name.  And I have to deal with one of them today.  Complete jackwagon. </p>

 

[Auntie Moe]

<p>It's Marathon Weekend here in Boston...I just posted this in the run thread, but here's a <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/boston_public_library/sets/72157626492225184/with/5617439926/" target="_blank">great set of photos of the Marathon from the early part of the 20th C</a>, from the Boston Public Library collection.</p>

[runningINnyc]

<p>Morning all! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thx for the hugs, J & I are doing much better today and really, Dillon is one resilient kitteh.  He didn't seem to mind anything about the needle or fluids yesterday and was his wonderful, crazy, fuzzy stuff the rest of the evening. </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>KP & T</strong> - fun to dress up, have a good time!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Maureen</strong> - adorable shoes and soooo springy!</p>

 

[Ailarie]

<p>Howdy folks.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>No fun here that I can think of - other than it being Friday, and meaning that in 3 days, the insurance adjuster comes out to see the damage to the house.  I've no idea if he tells me on the spot what insurance will pay or if that ends up being more days of hurry-up-and-waiting, but at least it's progress. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Add me to the crappy-sleep group.  Ugh.  Stupid dreams.  One specifically dealing with the former tenant and some very mean, nasty things said by both of us.  Not that they ever happened IRL, but some things in the dream were items that I wanted to say IRL, but was trying to be sensitive and understanding, and didn't want to go for the jugular, sort to speak.  Perhaps I should adopt Wippy's song of <em>I'm a bitch</em> for certain situations, should they ever arise again.  Hmph.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Qod</strong>:  Fire Woman by the Cult.  Definitely my power / strong-girl song.  Followed closely by Fighter, by Christina Aguilera. </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Maureen</strong> - wow, I'm normally not a gal that's big into shoes, but those ARE cute!!! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>{{{ <strong>Prae</strong> }}} I don't think I responded yesterday, but I'm so sorry about your situation.  You're strong, and I am confident that in time, you're going to come up with something that is right up your alley.</p>

 

[KP]

<p><strong>Prae</strong> - <em>Restrepo</em> is on my to see list, especially after reading <em>War</em>.  Looking forward to seeing what you think of it.</p>

 

[mmoonptdeux]

<p>Hi all - crashed out pretty early last night (got into bed before 9 PM, but even though the brain is tired, it still seems to protest the earlier attempt to get some shuteye I've found out)  The fact that I'm still a little groggy probably means a good sleep in tonight is in order.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>(((((Dillon, Maria & J)))))</strong> Hoping the little guy keeps up that resilient mode</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hurrah for dressing up...I like it the opposite for Friday though (casual Fridays and all that)</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>boB</strong> - April 15th happens to fall on Emancipation Day in Washington DC this year.  When that happens, the IRS takes a holiday as well; thus, the April 18th deadline this year (that isn't going to stop me from getting it into the mail today, however.)</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>QOD:</strong> <em>Friday I'm In Love</em> by The Cure</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>

 

[runningINnyc]

<p><strong>QOD</strong> - today is a Ben Folds sort of day, any song but the Frown Song is on now</p>
