T minus 13 Hours and Counting

 
 T minus is used to mark the beginning of  launch time.

Things that happen in t-plus time have to do with where you are in orbit around the Earth, and when rockets fire, and when a rocket hits q-max and stuff. Things that happen in t-minus time are prep things.*  The rocket isn't going anywhere, but you have to finish filling the tanks of liquid fuel, load the astronauts, do launch checks, and these have a schedule relative to the launch time.

*Prep Things:

Decorate the house
Make the cake
Wrap the Gifts
Sign the cards
Set the table
Pick up the party balloons
Hang streamers outside of his bedroom door
Shop for the Birthday Dinner
Try to get him to go to bed tonight

It is Baby E's birthday tomorrow, and he insists on his birthday beginning at sunrise.

Like I said, T minus 13 hours.
--------------------------------------------------
It would be so awesome if you stopped over tomorrow, THURSDAY, and left Baby E your birthday wishes.

Thank you!

  10. Wee E, dude! Your birthday starts at midnight. But I'll come by and salute you tomorrow, too.

  11. I most definitely do not begin anything at sunrise unless my child is screaming (which I hope and pray is not the case tomorrow) so I am leaving a big fat HAPPY BIRTHDAY to begin at the crack of dawn tomorrow!!!

  26. Sandwich Child turns SIXTEEN next month. I will have to do the T-minus thing too. BIG time. That's a milestone b'day. I'm thinking an overnight jaunt into a neighboring state for mega-spa pampering. With big sis, maybe a gal pal too. BIG maybe though. Don't really want an "outsider," but hey, it's not MY b'day, is it?

  41. Since Feedburner delivered this post on Thursday afternoon, here I am, belting out HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO BABY E! Sunrise is pretty early, Baby E, are you already partied out? I doubt it. You know how much your mom loves you, getting up that early after blogging and tweeting and reading posts until the wee hours of the morning?

    Save me a piece of cake - I'll be over in a jiffy.

    ReplyDelete
  42. *snif* Chalupa, you get me on feedburner. You're too good, too good..
