Chick said &#8220;9:03&#8221;. Holy crap. I felt my head tilt, my body sag, and I thought to myself, &#8220;Man. It&#8217;s going to be a long day. It&#8217;s like time&#8217;s standing still.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It wasn&#8217;t until close to 10:00 that Kristin came in and informed me that my clock was wrong, that I realized the battery was dying (and is now dead).

I wore it on Monday &#038; it was quite comfy. Of all things, I&#8217;m wearing my frothy mohair scarf today, because my friend Tamar mentioned it last week. I am not a mohair gal, but this scarf really is too pretty. Here&#8217;s a lovely picture of me, which I took with my cameraphone &#8211; while I was talking to a rep.
