It's 10 minutes to 10 o'clock PM....

....and this is the first time I'm sitting down sans a baby in my lap. Somehow, I don't think it's entirely the medicine that makes me tired.

....So I took my Zoobook Michael's coupon and bought some new pens tonight. Took the price from 15.99 to under 10, so i'm not upset at shelling out the cash. I hope that with my new pens and my new book "Love Your Handwriting" by Heidi Swapp, a scrapbooking guru, that I'll love my handwriting. It's not awful, but I don't love it. I'll let you know if I change my feelings.

....I also filled my van. Sorry to those of you with bigger vehicles, as I know you pay more than the 38.00 I shelled out. Makes me wanna cry, that does.

....Now that the State of the Union address, and the wonderment that occurred while GW was there giving his speech was compared to that of British antics, I fully realize how very shallow a life I lead, as I know nothing about what Tony Blair and the chaps of Parliament get into....I must find a way to have more worldly knowledge, though I daresay that this would only increase my royalty as Queen of Useless Facts. Do toddlers care whether Parliament is at times like a zoo? No, they just wonder where the hell the lunch lady is at 11:00. Sorry to my UK buddies that I don't know more about you all!

....ok, I'm off to shower and to perhaps read a bit before I hit the hay, gearing up for another 11 1/2 hour day tomorrow with the animals at the Zoo.
