| What do you mean, "your blanket"!?! |
In other news, it's Labor Day here, and i am laboring for Ms. S, my Monday lady, but Sweetie is not laboring, and Little Girl has the day off of school. Happy Labor Day to all who celebrate now, and for those of you who celebrated it back in May, you may go about your regularly scheduled day.
The yearly sanity retreat i need is so close i can almost taste it. My friend FiveCat, and her husband, Mr. FiveCat, have driven in so they can spend a couple of days exploring NOLA and the swamps. Last night, i fed them some red beans and rice, and we sat and had a good gabfest.
