It's been a while, but here's 10 on a Sunday...

1)Ambition has finally returned to me...woke up at a decent hour and managed to get the dishes done while listening to NPR and waiting for my breakfast to be done.

good job! i always have complete faith in you and back you 100%. blonde ambition is a good thing! (no matter what your hair color is!).

2)Ambition part II: Volunteered to man a voter registration table this afternoon downtown. I get to do my part for the cause and people watch at the same time.

you will rock the vote! i think it's cool that you did this!

3)Breakfast:Roasted yukon gold potatoes with hatch chiles, red onion, garlic, cilantro and tomato. Plus fresh ground "super dark" coffee with cream.

sounds delicious, can i come over next time, please?! you always make the bomb food! you can work a yukon like nobody's business, girl!

4)Morning Songbird Soundtrack: A mix of old school punk, alt country and the new Amanda Palmer CD.

old school punk, is a go-go! when i first saw amanda palmer, i thought it said: amanda plummer! i love her acting, and i thought to myself - "i had no idea that she had a cd out, i need to hear this!". nevermind me!

5)It's the Autumn Equinox...the end of a very long year is nigh...

this year has been a good one, lot's of changes. you know that i'm a rat! this is my year! autumn is pretty! we are wrapping this one up together!

6)Had a nice playdate yesterday with a mother from my Autism Moms group. One of the quitest playdates on record, unless you count her little boy's tendency to shriek instead of verbalizing...but Maggie dug his shrieking, so that was cool. They drew on the outdoor wall with sidewalk chalk and watched child friendly Japanime.

glad that maggie and you had fun!

7)Lived through running the office for three days with my boss away at a conference. Got to have a temp this time, so I am not having to do my traditional go make up work on Sunday routine!Yay!

you did great! i'm glad that they brought in a temp, this made all the difference! be proud lady!

8)School conferences went moslty well. Have some issues with Maggie's reading comprehension scores, mostly having to do with abstract thinking, which is hard for autistic kids, but we'll work on it. I'm thinking of having her do storyboards/cartoons of her reading assignments to help her visualize them better.

i think your idea is a good one, the storyboards would be fun and keep her interested/engaged. i say: go for it!

9)Got tickets to Gogol Bordello (motto: "Think Locally, F@#k Globally" next week. It should be a nice little contingent I'm going with Boycorbid, my best friend, a girl from work and some other assorted friends and friends of friends.

fuck globally is right, girl! i support this. have fun, and hug's to boycorb!

10)It's 10:45 am, the kids are at their dad's, Boycorbid is sleeping in and I am able to sit back for a few minutes and surf the web guilt free as I have been productive this morning!

a sleeping in cute boy is nice! the kids at dad's is nicer! you deserve the downtime, keep rollin' corbys!

Peace Love and Happy Autumn Soltice, my mamas!
