Update on driving Sadie to school:

Well, there I sat today, resting on my laurels, basking in the warmth of all your lovely comments, feeling good. I was talking to my friend Lisa who was over, about Kristines blog and how she had done something nice and how great it would be if there was this rash of nice goings on that started from a simple Girl From Ipanema's blog. I told her about my offering to drive Sadie, sipping my Diet Coke and generally feeling fine.

"Well," she said, "When were you going to start doing this?"

"Today," I said. "Neat, eh?"

"Sure," she said. "I think it's great. Why are you still sitting here talking to me then?"

I looked at the clock. Totally late! "Shit! Watch Lucy for me till I get back!!" I grabbed Monty, his bag and shoes, and flew out the door.

I picked up Sadie. They got to school just in time. Whew.

Gotta love Miss Thang sitting there, drinking my DC, gettin all up on meself, while forgetting that I had to GO AND DO THE THING I WAS TALKING ABOUT.

Note to self: Hey, Self: Get over you.
