Maybe you could get yourself a quarter-hour-glass for your birthday? Of course, you'll be finished by then, it seems. Congratulations!

And Terry Pratchett's new book doesn't come out until Tuesday, so I'm celebrating by reading Going Postal again tomorrow with chocolate and then grabbing Making Money in whatever store I can find it in on Tuesday. With chocolate. I'm tossing the notes. They're really not very interesting. More fun were the e-mails Bob and I send during DLD, but many of those are not fit for public consumption--neither of us is a particularly well-behaved fighter--so it's a good thing I lost those, too. If I don't need it right now, it's going. So it worked out nicely that this will all be done in time for my birthday. Which wasn't planned, it just worked out that way. And the mess in the hall is stacks of books from the library after I moved 2/3 of the bookcases somewhere else. But I have a plan for that, too. No, I'm not going to do it here. Jeez, twelve days of hearing me bitch about boxes is more than enough. Besides, I know what it's there: books. Nothing to discover aside from some titles I probably forgot I had. Nope, it’s tomorrow.

My mouth kept watering as you referred to all those bits of writing notes you were finding. Have you ever thought of auctioning off some of that stuff? You could give the monies to your favorite charity. Or something. Haven’t been by in a while, so had the fun of reading all the days of the office in one fell swoop.

Can you just toss it without looking at the contents at all? If it's been five years, likely not much in there is crucial to life as you know it. Woot!

Outlet nearby, coupons in hand, and no football of interest this afternoon. Deal. Warm up your shredder for the lone remaining box!

Now, could you please come sort through the 20 years of old ironing piles I have cluttering up my closets? (My daughter is 21. I suspect that there are dresses in the bottom of some of those piles that she last wore when she was five!) Congratulations!
