Thursday Thirteen Play Resumed. (Sorta)

So, this week, I had planned to do a boring 'to-be-read' pile overview. But instead, you get semi-rant list of excuses. Ten of them are completely true. Three of them are not. You make up your mind which is which. I solemnly swear I won't do this to you again.

Thirteen Reasons Gwen's Been a Lazy Blogger Lately 1. I've gone 11 days straight without caffeine. 2. Last Saturday the weather in Seattle was gorgeous and nothing could keep me inside at the computer. 3. I've put 672 miles on my car in the last 10 days. 4. Every night I must first engage in a barter with my husband for internet minutes, as we only have one connection, and he has to play Xbox Live. 5. If I do not make said husband food, he will not eat. 6. I'm in charge of an annual trade show at my day job and have 16 more working days until I get on a plane for Ohio. I am already nervous about this. Did I mention I hate flying? 7. Due to the lack of caffeine, I had to take up smoking. Now my two daily ten minute breaks, which I would spend blogging, have been overtaken by the need for nicotine. ~Intermission~ 8. I blame sexyjack! 9. We just started a series of writing workshops at the Writer's Retreat forum, and getting everyone settled took some special admin attention. 10. My cat has been on a four-day puke-a-thon, leaving me to barely sleep at night, because in addition to flying, I hate the sound of retching, human, animal or otherwise. Srsly. 11. I mean it - I really did give up Red Bull. I hate to admit it, but I'm just lazier without it. *sigh* 12. My husband has taken to traipsing around the house scantily clad. Nothing is more distracting than live eye candy. 13. The processes that control cellular mitotic division, up to and including the protein phosphorilation cascades are complicated.
