Form DS-11

I am never going to get a job with the government. Too many forms and procedures. I am filling out the paperwork to obtain passports for the little people in our house and it isn't fun. I also have to get a new passport, mine has expired, thank God I had really bad hair in 1993.

I need to get this done, all of the others going on our trip completed this task two months ago. Lori even called to remind me before xmas...can you say procrastination?

I try to tell myself I am getting better about not waiting until the last minute, hopefully I will not have to expedite. In my mind paying a fee is penance (there's that Catholic upbringing again) for waiting until the end. I don't even want to calculate how much I have spent in my lifetime on late fees.

By the time I get on the ball and get things done I will be so old and have lost my mind, I won't remember what I was supposed to be doing in the first place.

Gainfully employed

I heard back last night from Cargill , I start back into the world of the gainfully employed as an independent contractor on October 8 th . My old client, who will now be my new client, Jeff wrote: I'm thrilled we get to work together again.

Eeek - the most important project? Whoa, better bring the A game, but you know I am excited - scared - but am ready to go. I have so much to do before the 8 th , gotta get the list together to make the most of my kid free week (now that litte man is at daycare in the a.m.). Let's see: 1) Paint basement. 2) Purge house of clutter - how can we accumulate this much crap? 3) Goodwill and library drop off - Maple Grove Library is taking donations until Oct. 6 th !!! 4) Get the yard ready for winter - should I plant more bulbs? 5) Put basement back together - IKEA run ma

Z is like for Zodiac

Shelly and I went to the movie Zodiac last night. The theater was nearly packed with mostly men and couples, so it was a bit obvious when two teenage girls talking on cell phones walked into the movie 20 minutes late. Shelly turned to me, "Why would you even come to a movie like this if you are 20 minutes late?" I agreed especially since they had already missed the first victims meeting their demise and the opening which told the viewer this was a true story. You just had to know they were going to be lost the rest of the movie, plus the only reason they were probably there was to see Jake Gyllenhaal . The movie was very good, one of the best I have seen since The Departed , I read the book and the prime suspect was much creepier on the screen than I imagined in real life. At the end of the movie, Shelly stopped by the ladies room and I waited outside. The two teenage girls we saw walk in late also went to the ladies room with cell phones glued to their ears already.
