Almost Forgot


It is 9:44pm on Saturday night, and I am about to head to bed.  I was closing the lid on my laptop when I realized I hadn't written tonight's slice.

So here I am.  Writing.  Now.
My kids are at a Panic! At the Disco concert.  One will be coming home afterwards; the other is spending the night at a friend's house.  My husband is dozing at the other end of the couch.  The dog is squeezed in next to me.

It is 9:46 pm.  The friends we had over for dinner have already left.  The slight buzz I had from my margarita is worn off, and all I feel is tired.  And thirsty.  I have written the grocery list.

What a glamorous life I lead, sitting on my couch at 9:50 pm, Saturday Night Live rerun on, trying to stay awake long enough to write a blog post so I don't lose my streak.

So I did it.  I wrote.  It's not good, but it's written.

Time to hit "Publish" and head on up to bed.  For real this time.
