Time is [not] on my side

I forgot to set the alarm clock last night, and woke up more than an hour late this morning.

This afternoon, I got an e-mail from my web designer brother which mentioned, in passing, the idea of using CSS style sheets rather than tables to lay out a web page. (Don’t worry — you don’t have to know what that means.)

I was suddenly struck with the urge to try to re-draw my symphony web page with CSS style sheets. I set to work on the project, fumbling my way around, and the next thing I know it was 5:30 — which means I was late for our Wednesday supper at church.

Well, I thought, I’ll just miss supper and show up for Bible study afterward.

Then, I looked at the clock and it was 6:15 — time for Bible study.

I had decided to skip Bible study, too, but at 6:25 I realized I needed to get a photo for the newspaper of a new knitting ministry that was beginning tonight at the church, as well as to touch base with one of my fellow church members about a conference we’ll be attending on Saturday. So I drove to church, took my photo, and slipped into Bible study late.

I would blame my brother for this evening’s problems if it weren’t for the fact that I was late this morning as well. So my brother is off the hook, I guess.
