Carla Thompson

Carla the urge to purge is rapidly being swallowed by a holiday weekend.

The best I've found yet (but only appreciable by my college friends): a letter from Matty Walcutt with the sentence, "And I still owe my lawyer $500..."

The Great House Purge is going to take much longer than I thought. On the plus side, I found my Brownie badges yesterday. Apparently I earned a badge in something involving a raccoon. Animal husbandry, perhaps?

Finding many interesting things in the Great House Purge of 2009. Maggie's baby book, only 1/4 filled out. Baby books - only good in theory.

Ah Sunday. Made even sweeter by the fact that I'm not working this week.

The joy of finding a swimsuit you're comfortable in cannot be over-emphasized. I shall celebrate with wine.

Off work next week so i'm aiming for no tech-focused tweets the entire time. We'll see how long that holds.

Heading out into the oven for gymnastics (the kids, not me) and swimsuit shopping (me, not the kids).

I feel like an old woman - I am running errands this morning before "the heat of the day" sets in.

Okay, it's decided. Going to dig out the Thriller album - yes, album! - after the kids are in bed. But then we'll also have to hook up the record player... I'm feeling very dated all of a sudden.

LOL: RT @skydiver You realize, right now, a few million people in Iran are wondering why the hell they can't get on Twitter...

I think we've got Thriller or The Wall on vinyl - can't remember which. But going to be digging those out after the kids are in bed.

Carla is surprised I'm this sad. Guess a part of my childhood just died.

Congrats to Fox News for the Worst/Best headline I've seen in a while: Sanford and Sins.

I really don't care if politicians cheat on their wives. Spare me the emotional press conference please and focus on more important things. Except for maybe John Edwards. That guy's just a tool.

I'm getting a little tired of all the spam coming through my notifications on here. Ya hear that, Facebook??

Have I complained about the heat yet today? I haven't? Okay good. It's friggin hot.

Sending all my most peaceful thoughts to Holly Ryan's friends. Her smiling face is all over my Facebook page today.

Remember that summer it didn't hit 100 until late August? Good times.

Have the US Open on in the background while I work. Okay yes, there are advantages to working from home.

I've been pretty wrapped up in my own problems lately. I have no right to complain though. We should all pinch ourselves harshly anytime we start to bitch about our free-and-easy lives.

Okay, I've downloaded the iPhone update. Now what new apps are worth a look?
