One piece of drywall later...

Hanging drywall is hard.  So we stopped.*

Joshua called it:
Yesterday, we were walking over to the trailer court when a Macon County Sheriff's car passed.  The officer was holding some papers in his hand and driving toward our house.  If you'll remember, recently I'd been granted a second chance at reporting for jury duty.  Last time I didn't respond to the summons because I was giving birth, then in Columbia with Oak, then excising my gallbladder and sternly rebuking my pancreas.  I had to appear in court and everything.  This time around, I straight up forgot.  When I pointed out the cop car to Joshua, he said, "You know you're going to jail, right?"

Another One of Those Things

I think I might start a website dedicated to me.  All this talk about who owns what on whatever internet thing is starting to make me wary, but I doubt I'll continue to be as motivated as I am today.  Seriously.  I gave a speech yesterday night (um, last night?) and just now I finished a story.  (A short one--less than 5 pages--but still one I really enjoyed.)  I feel like I could take on the world.  Of course, tomorrow I'm hanging drywall, which probably means I'll lose steam on the get-stuff-done train real fast.


So, to keep you entertained, I found this:
