After a morning replete with classic Liz procrastination activities — Interweb surfing, ordering checks, paying the electric bill, investigating the process for paying my rent with my American Airlines card so as to reap the rewards of frequent flier miles, doing laundry, walking Rags, etc., etc. — I have spent the last 30 minutes writing, …

So… 2009! I’m still having a wee bit of trouble wrapping my head around the fact that the first decade of the 2000s is racing by at breakneck speed. Unbelievable, that is! I went to see “Marley & Me” tonight and cried embarassingly lots. I hate crying when I’m around people. Ugh. But it really …
