Butte Milder Friends...

grammarwoman...is what my library suggested as a search term when I mistyped "Bette Midler Friends". I was disappointed to find, though, that they didn't actually have any listings for "Butte Milder Friends". Way to lead me on, library! I remain amused that all the CDs I've looked for are in "Easy Listening". Tell that to 10-year-old me, who found it hard at times to sit through hours of Barbra and Bette and Judy, and wished her parents were into cool old bands like the Beatles. :)
The music hunt is to fill in some missing songs for what I hope to be a 20 minute photo collage vid for the anniversary party. I have about a week left before I enter the party/VVC Thunderdome, and I'm at minute 7. It feels weird to be throwing photos at the timeline instead of moving footage, like it's almost cheating. But in trying to build a loosely chronological narrative, I'm missing a chunk of about a decade, so I'm raiding my own photo albums trying to fill in the gap. Clipping is a pain, no matter the source. I'm also talking myself down from the ledge that my parents' reaction will be a bland "That's nice, dear", or "Well. That happened." Stop caring, self! Just do it!
The job queue was blessedly slow this morning, so I spent hours cleaning up email, both work and personal. Signing a lot of online polls and such result in a ton of political email; I had to resort to some mass deletions just to be able to see legit messages. I can breathe now and not click away from that tab in a panic.
Tomorrow, if the weather and other random acts behave, I should be getting a new patio poured. I still have to clear off the crap huddled on the small remaining patch of concrete so it can get broken up and replaced. Progress, please!
All in all, not a bad Monday. I hope you all had at least a fair one as well.
