Have you noticed the tongue-out emoticon that goes along with instant messages and e-mail sent by people using AOL?

That's actually a picture of me!

What do you get when you cross "I'd rather be writing!" with "I've got important errands to run!"?

Answer: Chaos! Total Chaos!!!

Anyway, I'd rather be writing--and, specifically, writing about a very special reunion--but I have all of these other things to do first!

And--DRAT IT!!!--I can't find the blasted dictionary!!!

What does a dictionary have to do with things?

A lot!

It's a pocket dictionary, and I've written information in it re: what my mom and I owe in property taxes--plus lots of other information.

Think I can find it?

Nooooooooooooooo...

Anyway, gotta go! Perhaps, when I get back here again, I'll have my ducks in a slightly straighter line...We'll see...
