I&#8217;m so tired I feel like I&#8217;ve been pulling all nighters, when in fact, I&#8217;ve been getting solid amounts of sleep! What up?!<br \/>\n<br \/>Anyway, given our polar opposite voting inclinations, we did not watch the debates but happened upon this crazy show on A&amp;E called &#8220;Zen and the Art of Competitive Eating&#8221;. I am not kidding. It was a two hour documentary on this dude (and he can only be seen as a &#8220;dude&#8221; because he&#8217;s got a goatee &#038; dreds) and his quest to win competitive eating contests. There is even a Federation for these people! Wowza! Anyway, at 9 p.m. James called it quits &#038; went to bed, so we DVR&#8217;d the second half of the show, and I came upstairs to watch the rest of the debate &amp; play a li&#8217;l Zuma. And I guess the debate was pretty restrained &#8211; Dan Rather said you needed lessons in &#8220;speed yawning&#8221; to watch &#8217;em tonight. BREAKING NEWS: Good lord, they&#8217;re saying a huge terrorism raid happened in Columbia MO today! Channel 5 news both repulses &#038; hypnotizes me. They&#8217;re sooooo sensational, and it really borders on humorous, given how seriously THEY take themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Well, tomorrow should be an interesting day. I have my review, then a brief appearance in front of the president of the company, followed by a rep lunch. I wonder where we&#8217;ll go for lunch &#8211; it&#8217;ll depend on two things: what SHE likes to eat, and how settled my stomach is from nerves. I can guarantee it won&#8217;t be a competitive consumption event.<\/p>\n<p>Polly has the gas of a devil dog, and Suzy is having crazy dreams, she is burfing in high notes very quietly while twitching her paws &amp; ears. Now she&#8217;s snoring. It&#8217;s fascinating to me, how dogs dream &#038; how real it is for them! I think it&#8217;s time for bed myself. I&#8217;m excited to start a new knitting project, and I think it may be the Folly from Knitty.com &#8211; and I think this is the second time I&#8217;ve said this. Maybe I oughta swatch, and\/or make some flowers &amp; see how it grabs me. I did, in my shopping spree yesterday, order the update to Sweater Wizard, which I&#8217;m excited to see &#8211; I&#8217;m not even sure what the upgrades include, but I do so like the sweater wizard software!<br \/>\n<br \/>I also wonder how my two students are doing with their Fizz Mittens. Hopefully the more experienced of the two is helping her friend along &#8211; they&#8217;re so enthusiastic &#8211; taking on so many things, taking so many classes &#038; have so many projects going, I think I feel like a mom running behind the child on the bike, not hanging on to the seat but desperately wanting to, out of fear they&#8217;ll fall off the bike &amp; hate the bike forever.<br \/>\n<br \/>Lights out, gassy dog. Wake up, dreamer dog. It&#8217;s time for bed.<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, my hubby&#8217;s home &#038; it&#8217;s good to have him home.
