I have always used “Never put off until tomorrow what you can put of forever.” Supposed to be configuring some routers and switches for a network upgrade.

Looking for the mate to a left shoe. I want to wear a certain pair of sandels to a party tomorrow and I haven’t seen the right shoe since last summer. It’s in my guest room _somewhere_. I’ve looked at the surface areas and I’m a little afraid of exploring the Pits of the Great Unknown. ---

Finishing hair and make-up so I can go to the store. The real reason I’m not doing it is because Mr. K already had me helping him with a construction problem (in my underwear, thankuverymuch) on the driveway, and if I don’t have an excuse for being in the house, we’re going to get into it over the “mystery angle” on the new shed. It won’t be pretty. ---

A pain in the ass exchange recovery onto a filer from tape. I hate them. User is out of the office till Tues so Monday will do. ETA: I’ve only 40mins left to waste. So I’m listening to the radio and reading here. Think I’ll go for a smoke to waste another 10mins 😃 Hurry up weekend! ---

> [@kayaker](#): > > So. . .you are working in your driveway wearing underwear and sans makeup. Sounds like a cool neighborhood.😉 Well, to be fair, I had a little shorty robe on, but that’s it. The look screamed “underwear.” Things are pretty relaxed out here in Dogpatch. 😛 ---

Well I leave in two days to pick up my husband (coming home from Afghanistan!), and you can imagine my house with two kids. Yet here I sit checking the SDMB, my email, my facebook, and eating yogurt. It’s gotta be cleaner than where he’s been, right? ---
