In Oklahoma, there is no "other." ...And a map I saw yesterday showed this state to be "solidly Bush" --- again (same thing 4 years ago).

Actually, I think it has been going on forever.

Perhaps as long as politics is not discussed, it may escape that fate...

You know, that's a great idea. And I know just how to accomplish that...

I often envy my kids. I put them to sleep at 7.30pm and they can sleep more than 10 hours. And I always stay up until late and regret it in the morning... 8-[

I don't know. Because you have to learn lessons the hard way? I mean, why does anyone ever have more than one hangover? :wink:

I feel pretty good. I just need to stop procrastinating this morning and get to my homework before class starts in two hours.

Yeah. I got up early so that I could go to the gym. But my hair's a mess, and I'm not wearing a hat to the gym. So I'd have to shower before going. And then after coming back. I may as well just go tonight. I really should be studying... But I'm soooo tired.

Blah. At least class isn't for another 3.5 hours.

Ugh. I hate the flu. I haven't had it in years, and may I never have it again?

I hope you're feeling better Glom.

Eh, if you saw my hair first thing in the morning, you'd understand. I sort of look like I should be staring in Japanese cartoons.

But Japanese cartoons are fantastic! I work really hard to get my hair to look like that.
