She panicked when she realized she left them at home.

Good morning, friends! Some of you beat me to the punch! I haven't prepared a formal SITSta speech, though I suppose note cards were made in anticipation - "Start with a joke to warm 'em up. That always works." Sound advice. You write the joke. All is well, until you've arrived and realized you've left the note cards in your other evening purse. (sigh)

That's a bit how I'm feeling at the moment. :)

Anyway, please know that with or without prompting, you are most welcome here, in this thought garden. Take a look around. This is a place for friendly idea exchange, for griping and longing, politics and poetry, and, of course, mischief making! No comment is unworthy!
