Avoidance tactics

Yes, its true. I'm doing my very best to put off what I know I have to do today... attack the dust bunnies before they attack us. See how nice I've been to everyone today, adding comments to their posts that go as far back as 2 weeks! I know how thrilled I am to discover a comment to one of my posts. And I could even put a positive spin on this, and claim that these are belated random acts of kindness.
But the sad truth is that I am only postponing the inevitable and necessary. And I must take responsibility for those dust bunnies, which are more cat/dog fluff than dust -- I'm the one who keeps praying that no more homeless kittas show up on our doorstep. I'm the one who got a big fuzzy dog who has an extra layer of fur she sheds on a regular basis. Yes, she looks innocent enough (posing, above)! But Angie is a Nova Scotia Duck Toller, and don't let anyone tell you you won't be able to stuff quilts with the amount of fur you'll become familiar with. And finally, even though the fish don't shed (yay fish!) I've got an aquarium that seems to get more populated over time. (free fish are available to anyone who even looks interested) I must be nuts.
Thank you:
I'd like to say how great this web2.0 course has been, in many ways. Not only are we learning some really great new things, but I think we have also found a way to reach over that divide that is always there when we work in different physical locations, and our paths cross on several times a year. The blogs have given all of us who participated a more personal face, and I think that's great.
So thanks to all of you. Thanks to Jenny for helping us navigate our way. I look forward to meeting everyone on Monday. And now I'm really going to do what I said I'd do today... YZ

What a beautiful dog! Hello Angie!I'm sure that I read somewhere that dust bunnies are an endangered species and should be left alone to happily breed under beds and other large pieces of furniture.
Your blog entries have been exceptionally interesting, including the ones on Tabbloid and Autism.
See you on Monday! No Kinex sticks at this meeting, right? Yah!

Does this mean you want an Angie fur comforter? Coverlet? See you Monday... it will be interesting to finally all meet.
Oh yes, those dust bunnies are sly. They probably are endangered everywhere else except my home! :-)
