There are a couple things out there that require your attention:
The Week 0 poll: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/61 1603.html
The Week 1 topic: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/61 1538.html
Your kids and/or friends and family... you can skip this last one though if you haven't gotten to the first two. Seriously, they can wait! ;)
***
A couple more housekeeping items, due to expanding the "75" base to accomodate base you may have noticed that we are over that number. Which means that 2 months will probably be closer to 2 1/2. Just giving you a heads up! Considering that there are already cries of "How can I read this many entries while writing my entries!" I figure you probably don't want me to speed thngs even more than I already am! Or maybe you do... *cacklles as he puts hand on "Speed Up" button* :D
***
The forementioned poll closes tonight and the deadline for your Week 1 entry is tomorrow. Things are about to get interesting!

later than I meant to go, for sure!
I guess we're going to be doing this combo of poll and writing? Though I'm not exactly sure how well that will work -- but I guess that's why Gary has the poll closing a day before the topic is due. Or maybe that's a "just for this week" thing.
So I've been working half days so my husband and I can take sick kid duty. I now see why people send their kids into daycare while they are still sick (especially since we pay for it whether he goes or not!). It is sad to see your kid sick but I am also so behind on work right now and it is stressing me the hell out.
Yay, whining!
Am I crazy? Yup. :S
Just kidding. Please apply the brakes. I'm already not sure how to do my podcast duties and finish editing this fic and write an entry and read everything and and and. /whining

**pours coffee**
I baked chocolate chip cookies on Monday -- want one?
**passes plate of cookies**
Thanks!
Silly Gary, acting like there's more to life than LJ Idol.
Just don't confuse the "speed up" button with the History Eraser Button... the bright shiny button... the jolly candy-like button...
I'm working on reading Week 1 entries and commenting. Sometimes I pop back over to the Week 0 entries to comment--but I'm focusing my commenting efforts on the upcoming poll.
Things with baby girl are going alright. Her fever is starting to ease up. One more day of Tamiflu for her. She's still clingy and needing lots of extra snuggles, but steadily improving.
Sorry to hear your little one is sick, but glad to hear that she's improving!
Morning is chipping away. Hopefully tonight will leave some time for reading entries.
Oh darn, an extra two weeks of Idol goodness? However will we adjust? *swoons*
I have to wonder... is anyone else nervous about the "mousetrap" theme that Gary seems to be using for this truncated season? He tends to give us clues throughout the season about what's in store... Hopefully I'm just reading too much in.
Finally got my other work laptop back today and hopefully it's now all in working order. *crosses fingers* We'll see soon enough.
Hope you're all having a great day!
Well, we never know exactly what evil lurks in the heart of Gary. It bothers me a bit because I've never played mousetrap, so I don't really quite understand the trying to trap other people thing. I'm wondering how that translates here. The FAQ said the polls and the bottom vote-getters getting eliminated hasn't changed, but Gary implied that it has, so.... ::shrug::
I don't like not knowing how things are supposed to go, it's a control thing. I'm aware.
I've got two more to go from those that have been posted. Feeling pretty good about it myself. Staying on top of things feels good in Idol.
I hardly ever drink coffee anymore, but I had some yesterday because Henrietta keeps me up at night right now (because she's sick).
Looking forward to reading your entry Lexyback!
Started the writing, but... need more words. Faster. :O
Oh, and..
I just posted my entry with a whole day to spare.
I don't even know who I am right now.
WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH THE REAL
Okay, and I got a late start because I had a visitor this weekend (apologies to everyone on my flist and fb who are doubtless sick of hearing about this by now. Just wait until March).
I'm so excited about this season, which probably means I really AM crazy. ;)
Fingers crossed, I shouldn't default before the first hurdle, but writing an entry is about all I'll have time for!
Apologies to those whose introductions I haven't gotten to yet. In other news, I don't currently have any plans this weekend... :-D
