Tomorrow is such an easy word. What will do you today?
Make a positive change, pave the way for a better tomorrow
Today I will...
Stop being intimidated by the rice cooker, and actually use it to make a decent dinner instead of getting home, flopping on the bed and eventually get so lazy that vodka sounds like a pretty good dinner option.

This seems as good a place as any...(might need to go to Grrrr....)
Today I will make a decision.
I mentioned going to Manchester months ago and this girl I "had/have" a crush on asked if she could go. What did I do but say yes.
So days weeks months have passed now and this girl has shown little exuberance in the way of preparation, conversation is scant, and I'm sitting on go. To me, this is a 3 step process, pre, during, post. Not something to be taken lightly nor on a whim the day before one needs to be there, like Wednesday, 5:00, 8, Thursday, the latest.
All I need to do is pare down, pack the motorcycle Jed Clampett style and boogie.
All she needs to do is everything.
My quandry is that it is time to go. Poop or get off the pot.
I have to decide whether or not to say to this girl, "I think I need to go by my self. Sorry. You (the board auto-censored the right word beginning with "d", then an "rug") your feet." Or to be a patient grasshopper for one or two or five more days.
It's bums me out the excitement level does not seem to be there to match mine and that the communication is sketchy. I really don't want to run the risk of blowing her mind and alienating her, crush her. I like her. We might have to deal with that. Or not.
I think, which is dangerous in itself, that she, the girl, likes the concept of Roo, but really has no clue the magnitude of it all (a first timer).
You, of Inforoo, do.
Am I just nuts?
So, Info "sooth" roosters, any thoughts, ideas, signs in the tea leaves, the cards, direction of the crow fly?
Help a befuddled, head scratching guy out here.
Thank you very much in advance for your thoughtful or not consideration(s).
Very little to go on here, but this girl sounds like a friend of mine who was all for bonnaroo 3 months ago, and the closer it got the less interest shown until one day she announced she will be using the money she was saving for a flight, to purchace a boa constrictor instead. Total flake dude. My advice, give her an ultimatum. You need a final decision and a sign of committing to this adventure. And for the love of god keep her out of pet shops! Good luck!

Just get out there & carpe the hell outta the diem!
Holls, this might be the best advice I hear.
Would she welcome the opportunity to stay back? Think she knows the $ is spent and don’t want to bail at this time?
I would love it if my wife was into the music I am and festivals but she is not. I would rather go alone than take someone that was uncommitted. This takes a commitment.

If she was enthusiastic, would you still want her to come? If you've decided, for example that she'd cramp your style and you'd have more fun flying solo, that's a different issue.
But if your concern is her failure to show excitement, just talk to her about it. Explain your concerns and listen to what she has to say. Has she ever been to Bonnaroo? If not, she may have no idea what to expect.
Last year I took my 21 yr old Daughter. She is pretty much a Country Music fan only. She wanted to experience Bonnaroo with her Dad because she knew my feelings for it.
I knew she had little passion for the music but wanted to experience the Festival. I took her knowing it would change the way I did last years Bonnaroo. I am glad I took her and would not have passed up the opportunity to be on the farm with "Little Chick", but we did leave Sunday Morning. :-(
It really does depend on which set of circumstances you want because it will be one thing with her and another without. Choices can be rough. Good luck and hope to see you there.

Today I am cleaning out my spare bedroom which is just a giant walk in closet right now. I'm cleaning up the house and packing up 1/2 of the kids toys to give away so my parents aren't cramped when they so generously watch my kids for a week for Roo. I'm making my list of what I still need for Roo and trying not to freak out that I still need more clothes.
...attempt to stay awake on just 3 hours of sleep! Nothing like going to bed @ 2am, only to have your body wake you up at 5:15 all rarin' to go. WTF?!? (Tonight we're havin' a "come to Jesus" meeting, just me & the ol' internal clock. I'll show it who's boss.)
Re-phrase: TODAY I WILL...stay awake, chug coffee AND try to be pleasant. ;D
Buy a muthaf*ckin air conditioner. The city reeks of rotting homeless people, so summer must be here, and I'm not sitting in a pool of my own sweat this summer. Last night was already a "sleep naked on top of the covers with 57 fans pointed at me" night. If they have a two-for-one sale I might by two, just to be safe. God I hate humidity.
...join the local visibility team (we call ourselves the Truth Squad) holding signs highlighting our governor's failures and advocating for recall challengers during peak traffic downtown. ...complete and submit a Letter to the Editor in my local paper for similar reasons. ...knock on doors, talking to undecided voters on behalf of candidates. ...take part in a conference call for Wisconsin delegates to the Democratic National Convention.
...then I will go to work, which feels boring and unimportant compared with how my free time.
...finish up this database for the campaign manager & go to sleep late. ...get up relatively early and go see Bill Clinton in Milwaukee. ...grab a sign and join the recall visibility Truth Squad during noon rush if I'm back in time. ...drive a couple people to city hall to vote early. ...deliver possibly the last candidate signs of the campaign. ...knock on some doors and/or make some phone calls talking to voters. ...be bored with that stupid little thing I do for money from 9pm-2am. ...pass the quack out.
