I'm bored out of my mind waiting for work. Baby's sleeping. I've read everything there is on CM, lol. My house is actually relatively clean. What do you do when you don't have work during the workday?

Ohhh, I usually wail, rend my garments, gnash my teeth...mourning-type things of that nature!  ha.

Have you ever read thesuperficial.com?  Get ready for awesomeness.  Or Slate Mag's "Dear Prudence" is always a good weekly read.

Awesome! A new funny web site to kill time! Have you ever read Dear Margo? I like her a lot, too.

Oh, Ann Landers' daugher!  I've never read her before, or heard of her, for that matter.  But speaking of which, do you read Savage Love?  He has Ann Landers' old writing desk.

With three kids, a dog, cat and a husband there is always cleaning for me to do.  I didn't have any work on Monday so I took the kids to the zoo and a park, they loved it.   I kinda like the slow days so I can spend more time with my kids.

I was bored because Sofia was napping, but I love having the time to play with her--and get paid for it! That's awesome that you went to the zoo! Sounds like a lot of fun!

It's a weekly sex advice column, written by Dan Savage!  He's very silly.  Lucky you, they come out on Thursdays!

Yes, and all very classy and educational, too!  :-D

LOL. Yes. So far I've learned that cattle prods should not be used in sex play and that they make an equivalent product for people into S&M. I don't think I'm ever going to have a need for that little pearl of knowledge, but if hubby and I ever make a trip to a dude ranch and get a little frisky, I'll keep that in mind!
