Deadline

So yesterday was the deadline for this freelance project I've been working on. I still don't have half of what I need to write it, namely, the xbox games themselves. It's bad enough to not have the things you're supposed to write about in your possession, but it's even worse when your brain decides it's going to have an off-day and shut down the creative centers.

Yes, I'm brain dead. I've gone out to get some iced coffee. Hopefully that will jump start me, but it sure doesn't feel that way. When I returned from the cafe and went to the fridge to get milk, the light in the kitchen burned out. Lights out. Literally and figuratively.

Is that you God? It's me, Margaret.

I was referring to who might have turned the light out. I made no mistake.

If you're such a fan, you shoudl probably know that it is "Are you there God,...." rather than "Is that you...."

Sorry, i know you woudl have preferred that I didnt correct you when you are wrong...but I do it much less these days. Really.

xotica, I didn't know you had me pegged at all! Yes of course I'm a Judy Bloom fan. "Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing" was one of my favorite books. "Then again, maybe I won't" ushered me into early adolescence and I still think of her stories to this day.

Now, who is xotica? Who???

Tell me about it. I used to make sad, lonely calls to friends and wonder why they didn't call me back. Now, I get messages from angry people wondering why I haven't returned their calls. I'm too tired to study right now. But, I have to. So, I read your website.

My shoulders hurt.

Funny, I would have never pegged you as a Judy Bloom fan.
