I woke up with a migraine last night and couldn't make it stop- so finally took the good stuff. Unfortunately, the good stuff caused me to turn off my alarm this morning and sleep until 8:30 on a day when I should be in the office by 7am.



I guess it was a good thing that I didn't try to go in. Noise is not my friend today. I just told my management chain that I was working from home today. Ya know- I'm awfully lucky in that regard. I never leave the office without my trusty laptop and files.

I talked to my brother, Michael today. He's coming for the wedding (NINE DAYS, people, until Casey and Jessica tie the knot!). I'm beside myself with excitement. He's one of those people that I never tire of. Same for my sis. Hmmm... could it be because we were all raised in the same house and got used to living together? We were laughing about how much we hated (and I mean HATE) each other in our high school years. He said that he even went to a different high school because he hated me so much. And now, look at us. I adore that guy. Just like this, only his head is too big to gnaw on now:



My dad has been trying to zen me out a little. His last email cracked me up (as they tend to do...)

Hi Lori,

Think garden. That is my modification of [my great aunt's name] "think".

Even a few minutes a day will do wonders to your stress. It really helps me.

It is like yoga for the city folks.

Love
Dad

Geez, this post is going all over the place. Talk about thinking out loud. Is anyone still there? All I hear is a bunch of snoring....



OH geez, BJ just called and one of his friends wants to drop by in an hour. I'm not even dressed (no makeup or hair) and I won't even go into how the house looks.

Garden.... garden..... garden....

(It's not working, Dad)
