Things I Am Behind On

  • Posts in Google Reader (217)
  • Emails in work inbox (102--WHY GOD WHY? Is there no respect for the out-of-office notification?)
  • Loads of laundry (7)(ish)(GAH! Cannot think about this right now)
  • Identification of mysterious house smells (2)
  • DVR'd shows (DVR 87% full!)(Half of that fucking COPS but I digress!)
  • Daily chowdah quota (bowls so far today--GIANT GOOSE EGG)

Things I am NOT Behind On:

  • Ending sentences with prepositions
  • Emails in personal inbox (priorities! also: despair lifter!)
  • American Idol (DUH)
  • Coffee drinking (GAHGAHGAH)
  • Blog posting (What am I DOING?)

Umm, I just audibly said "YAY!" when I saw your post come up in Google Reader. Ahem, I have no life.

Anyway, hope BR kicked ass in the marathon and GET EATING on that chowdah! You only have so long in New England!

Tess said...

Stephanie, sadly, WE ARE BACK. Bah. It's hotter than Toby's ass here too, just as an extra kick in the nuts.

How did he do?

Sorry you are back in the sweltering!

LoriD said...

At least you have your priorities straight. How can you tackle the work emails without your coffee?

How was the marathon?

You're killing me, smalls! Welcome home...

Karen said...

Woo hoo! Tessie is back! Can.not.wait. for witty stories of the trip to Boston!
Get to it woman! Where are your priorities?!

bananafana said...

so glad your back! I still have 94 in my reader and I'm ready to give up. I've been out for over a week at work and I'm still getting ridiculous numbers of emails and voice mails - does anyone actually listen to the recording before leaving a voice mail message?

Shelly said...

Yay!!! You're back!

Tess.....although i'm sure Mr. Fussypants wasn't happy with his time, Nick and I looked him up online and thought he did AMAZING!!! Tell him we said congratulations! Nick is running a half marathon in Vienna, Austria this weekend and he said he was hoping to do that in 2 hours...no where NEAR BR's time.

Anyhow....GLAD you are back! I missed the blog posts! You are not allowed ANY MORE vaction (unless it is planned in conjunction with my holiday time)! ;-)

I'm just glad to see you have all of your priorities straight!

I always have to check the personal emails before my brain can settle on work matters. It is the Law.

Alice said...

i'm with p&d, it's clearly some sort of Universal Heirarchy that you must deal with personal emails before work emails. i'm powerless before the universe's mandates.

Kat said...

Are you still suffering from jealousy over BR's participation in the marathon that you are not telling us about it? Welcome back to Hades, I mean Texas, just wait it will probably snow tomorrow...

Tilly said...

I, too, yelped a bit when I saw you in BOLD in my reader. I'm not sure what that says about either of us since: A)I'm lame and B)I like you.

Wait, was that some sort of backwards compliment? IDK my BFF ROSE. Either way, YAY!

email said...

So glad you're back!! And I have to say that after being gone, to only be behind by 217 posts in your feed reader is AMAZING. You must have been doing nothing but reading posts since you got to work this morning (well, except for posting your own). You have an AWESOME sense of priorities. One that mimics my own.

Jess said...

YAY you're HERE because I missed you even though I WAS GONE TOO. Does that make me LAME or what?

the new girl said...

Ah, Tessie.
I've MISSSED YOU.

How did BR do?

Christina Schmidt said...

How did BR do in the marathon, blah blah blah...

Really, I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THE FOOD!!!!! Okay and the marathon results as well.

Anonymous said...

Yes, tell us about the food - I am a food masochist and wish to torture myself over all of the yummy NE food I'm missing here in the NW.

Tess said...

BR did well--his time was 3:55, which is respectable considering the difficulty of the course and especially the shoddy nature of his training.

Hopefully we'll get some pictures uploaded tonight and I'll update more tomorrow! Damn this JOB at which I am paid to ANSWER MY EMAILS and shit!

SLynnRo said...

You left me a comment, so you are clearly caught up on what matters.

Anne said...

Hi Tessie,
New stalker/lurker here, glad you're back. How do you manage to be funny in every single post??? How did your daughter do on the flight? I'm flying to Maine this summer with Elizabeth and I'm kinda scared!

Amy said...

I'm with anne, but I'm an at least 1 month stalker/lurker - 1st time poster. I love reading your blog every day. You are so flipping funny. Can't wait to hear about your trip. Welcome home.

Swistle said...

I YAYed, too.
