I’m still on the No-Britney-News wagon, which is good, and easy because there is so much real news to read: NY Gov. Spitzer is a complete idiot, all our drinking water is tainted with pharmaceuticals, another outbreak of violence in Iraq…on second thought, maybe I will go back to Britney. The world seems a lot safer when you’re just reading about one person’s personal spiral into hell.

I went running this morning. And not that stupid “power walking” bullshit that gives me shin splints and makes me look like an idiot. Nope. I was running.

Zoe has developed favorites among her animals. She calls them her “babies” and carries them around, and they get special kisses at night before bed. Sometimes they go to Grandma Carol’s with her and get carried around there, then brought home again at night. She’s a very good little mother.

I’m tired, and grumpy (due in no small part to M’s flights being jacked up and therefore him not returning home this evening as planned) and was starting to write a pathetic “poor me” diatribe here when I decided that not only was it shitty to write that, it would be even more shitty to make you all read it.

Grammy and Papa came for dinner last night, and were treated to some playtime in the library, dumping of clothes down the laundry chute, and the story of Corduroy.

I called AT&T this morning and, after only 40 minutes and 34 seconds, succeeded in turning off the landline at our house. Actually it’ll be off by 6 p.m. tonight, but since we haven’t used it in a long time and have already disconnected all our phones and stored them (and by “storage” I mean shoving them in a plastic Target bag and throwing them downstairs), I consider it off effective now.

In my continuing quest to avoid any news pertaining to Britney, I frequently visit my regular favorite photo sites. One of these is photo.net, and I’ve become a fan of the News in Photography section. I clicked there tonight, and found that one of my fellow photo.netters had posted a link to this “news” story: Paparazzi admit pursuit of Britney has gone too far.

Having had the benefit of working for the American Red Cross for a number of years, I pride myself in knowing what constitutes a real disaster. What is a true emergency. What really calls for forceful language and can cause emotions to run high.
