Don't we get sick of the excuses? We could (all of us) write a book of excuses — they're usually repeated in deadbeat circles. 🙂

LOL! I love your Mma. 🙂

The Bad: You have to chase down deadbeat clients who always have some lame excuse why they didn't pay you on time.

As for cats, Mma says talking to the family cat is normal. She'll start worrying when the cat answers me.

Last one was probably 2003. This time my editor asked me to visit/tour Harpo Studios, watch some tapings and interview some top execs. Really great experience.

Recognize everything in your list!

How neat! I have had a few more than usual this year, which is good to mix things up a bit. I enjoy getting out, though I usually spend my time wondering what I'm missing. 😉

(Yes, the guest dogs arrived yesterday for their pre-Christmas vacation. We've already had to have the "No potty in the house" conversation again. But it usually takes a couple days for them to acclimate to the house rules.)

It's Friday and feels like a Monday. Why? I spent Monday unpacking and re-organizing things after a 5-day family retreat in the North Woods. Tuesday I spent prepping for Wednesday's work-trip to Chicago. Thursday morning was spent dog-proofing parts of the house before they arrived with my sister around 1:30. I have a lot of catching up to do – but need my weekend to put up the tree, village and other Christmas decorations because next week I'll add two more articles to the three I'm already working on.

It's good to be busy – as long as the time isn't all spent feeding, pottying and cleaning up after dogs, LOL.
