The kid and SkooterPie left this afternoon to spend the weekend with his mom in Cookeville. I have the whole house to myself for three nights.

!

But because I'm so behind at work, I'll probably be stuck at the office for much of that time. And it's not like I could relax at home reading my new Entertainment Weekly, or any other mail over the next few days for that matter, since SkooterPie has the only key to our mailbox after Jesse lost my key at the U of M track a couple of years ago. So....yeah. I'm locked out of our mailbox.

Tonight I'll be attending the Italian Festival as a guest of my friend Teri and her Italian Fest team. Should be fun. Don't know what else I'm going to do with myself. I do know that I will eat what I want, and eat when I want, and watch what I want to on TV, and sleep in the middle of the bed. And be a teeny bit lonely, I'm sure.
