It's Monday - after a LONG weekend..

And this weekend included, I think, all 7 of the deadly sins, sloth, gluttony, greed, sneezy, dopey and doc... yeesh - I'm too old for all this.

As you know we left Tuesday - partied hard all flipping weekend and to cap it off... we arise at 0-6AM and Bubba drove back to DC like a man running from the law or his father-in-law's gun. Now I don't have any indication that either is true - simply an analogy. (go look it up) A bit of a family spat as I was tired, as was Bubba, and he apparently hurt his back sometime during the weekend... lifting leftovers out of the fridge-- it was a bit tense for a bit... then hung around the house trying to figure out if I was too tired to care or just didn't care about (insert topic here).

Managed to get myself up, dressed, and packed up to head to the Steeler-Raven game - in Baltimore. Yeah I took a lot of "foolishness" and of course it went into OT, and of course they freaking lost... FOURTH DOWN AND FIVE YARDS AND HE RUNS UP THE FIELD... who is this defense? Some relation to the Detroit Lions???!!!! Yeesh - that game had all seven deadly sins too, third string QB, beat up defense, crappy play, OT, field goals, drunk fans - (wait that was me) a LONG drive home (I was happy before the game and sober as a church mouse by halftime - should have kept drinking...)

Got home at 1:30 AM - yeah - was greeted by puppies, one went to bed, one puked on the carpet which delayed said bedtime but another 30 minutes... slept like the dead only to have attempts made to raise me from my dead position... it was punctuated by this witty exchange...

"HEY! What happened to the carpet down here?"

"Uh?"

"The carpet - this stain"

"uh - dog puke"

"You're going to need to hit this spot with some stain remover"

"No! Really Captain Obvious? Thanks for the update...zzzzz"

Insert door slam and the perky Today Show banter... and that boys and girls was a literal translation of the morning... only I don't think I was speaking clearly until we get to the Captain part.

So, up showered, dressed, at work, conference call after conference call, sudden influx of stuff to do and it's almost time to go home - but I have things to finish and I'm going to be here a while. Oh and I've got to go to the store to get something besides turkey for dinner and then go home and cook it...

On the up side I did manage to make a list of what is done and not done for Christmas gifts - and part of that list I can get close to work which will make life easy - and my to do list has just gotten longer. I need a day off... (yeah I know - just had 5 but I was too busy to get other stuff done) cripes.

More later - probably tomorrow the morning of conference calls... zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
