read an article on TechCrunch about a facebook app that Six Apart put together for updating statuses and blogs from within facebook.
so out of curiosity, i’m using it to write this silly post.
i have no clue as to whether this will be beneficial to me, but the idea is neat.

plans for the day…
Looks like I’m gonna skip out on class tonight. Why? I’m busy doing housework.
On Sunday morning Diana discovered her little niece had lice. So, I’ve been doing laundry. I’ve got all the bedding, and several pieces of kids furniture to wash. What joy. Oh, yeah, and I’ve got to do this while watching the kid. Even more fun.
After I picked up the little girl this morning, I put her in the tub, and treated her hair. As soon as I finished I threw all the clothes in her diaper bag, and the bag itself into the wash. Later on, I’ll pick the sis-in-law up from work, give her ten bucks, and take her to the pharmacy to get her some shampoo, and I’ll offer to take her laundry to wash.
And, somewhere along the line, I need to find time to do homework.
Hope your day is going better than mine.

i'm still tired…
it’s too early… i’m tired… anyways…
Diana ( ) just called a few minutes ago to catch me up on a few things… well, she also ran across an accident in Bourbon Co. on Russell Cave… she’s gonna call me back in a few, once she gets turned around…
anyone wanna take bets on it being weather related?
UPDATE: (7:47am) Diana called back, and it wasn’t an accident, but a flooded bridge in this area. Not surprising…
UPDATE: (7:54am) Diana just called to inform me that in Fayette County, Police have reduced traffic along US 27 (south-bound lane between Paris and Lexington) to one lane, as water from a nearby creek is backing into the road.
