7 Minutes
In seven minutes, I'm going to step away from the computer and finish packing. Well, six.
I'm off to Blacksburg, Virginia, home of my alma mater (is "alma mater" an appropriate term for grad school?) and current residence of my very good friend Ms. Leading by Learning. Ms. LbL and her husband will be housing me for the weekend, and hopefully showing me a good time. With any luck, by tomorrow night I'll be having a cider at The Cellar, home to many a night of grad school plotting to take over the world.
D'oh. Three minutes. Looking up The Cellar website took precious seconds.
I've been SO lazy over the past two days. Even knowing that I'm leaving in the wee hours of the morning (say, nine) has not motivated me to complete the myriad tasks necessary for a long weekend away from home. Thankfully, the crucial laundry is done, the dishes are in the dishwasher, the cats are fed, and the rows of shoes have been returned to their proper place in the closet.
On the other hand, I haven't deposited my last paycheck, put the new registration sticker on my car (oops, I'm now driving illegally), gone to the ATM, packed my clothes, downloaded the appropriate documents so that I can work over the weekend, or gone to the gym to work off my McDonald's dinner.
So with 1 minute to go, what am I thinking about? Well, I'm wondering if I really NEED to finish packing tonight, because I seem to recall that Law and Order reruns are on TNT.
