Ok, I laughed. I have a list of things I would do. Now I must prioritize... quite possibly sleep. Well, thats a lie, I'll be doing something for somebody else and then once its over I will tell myself that I should have slept. Unfortunately not one of the ones that came to mind was going out with my Husband :( So when does this day come? Let me pencil it in, We are making tortilla's tonight, maybe pocket pies tomorrow. I may try a bread or some muffins. Your thumb may get tired! Washing my hair! Ok, I laughed. I have a list of things I would do. Now I must prioritize… quite possibly sleep.

That "24 hours is never enough" comment reminded me of a Futurama commentary (and, yes, I have attentively listened to all of the "Simpsons" and "Futurama" commentaries, so apparently 24 hours a day gives me plenty of time, but then, I don't have a kid). On the origins of the futuristic mega-baseball sport in that series, called "blurnsball", it derived from the extra hour of the day and day of the week they felt they needed to get that absurdly detailed show done on schedule, and the nonsense syllable they gave this hypothetical time. So what are you doing Blurnsday night?
