Happy birthdays Jesse, Theo, Rayne, CindyMama, and Boxing!

Can't say better than amych, so I'll just quote her. Imagine me pointing and nodding.

Oh, Fred. So sorry Hubs is sick. Here's hoping yours is just a little passing thing, but good for you for getting it checked out.

(((Cindy))) Good on your DH and Mom for supporting you through that. I know what runaway panic can do. I hate it, and it's so easy to feel responsible, and then guilty AND responsible, on top of having been sandbagged by one's brain chemistry. There's no good there--except that you actually weren't dying of a heart attack, that part's really fantastically good. So it's wonderful that the people who love you have your back.

::Waving at Laura, whom I almost never see, and miss::

Kristin! The Ipod story was so cute. And I so get the "don't help unless I ask for it" for the DH, too.

ION, I have a sore throat. I want ice cream. A whole elephant full of ice cream. But I'm probably going to settle for toast and tea.

Happy Birthday to Theodosia, Jesse and Rayne!!!

Kristin, despite the current troubles, I too love your iPod story.

Happy birthday to Jesse, Rayne, and Theo!

Feeling colorful this morning. And enjoying lounging around in my fleecey, soft new robe, which I love. May everyone's health and electronic problems sort themselves out pronto.

I have decided that this is the LAST year we attempt to mold our schedules around other people. Next Christmas, the mofos are coming to us.

Figuring this out before the baby is born? Very, very wise. Stick to your guns.

Wow Jesse, Rayne and Theo all born on the same day? What auspicious stars there must be! Happy happy to all of you!

...and the fight is over.

The iPod, however, is still not working.

Would it be wrong to buy a new iBook just to use my iPod?

Yes. yes it would. Nonetheless, tempted.

Merry Christmas smooch to Beverly

Brendon gave me the Cobra Nav One 3000 Portable Mobile Navigation system for Christmas. It is beyond incredible with all the features and functions. I love exploring and often have to drive places I haven't been before so useful too. Driving over the everglades to see the family it was fun to see that it showed all the canals and lakes as well as the roads. So damn cool. I am avoiding looking at the bank account balance for a few days to put off finding out how much damage he did with his extravagance.

I'm very sad that the wild windy weather and my departure plans for Wednesday before dawn are conspiring to prevent me from getting together with Sheryl and G while they are visiting. I need to get off line and get some work done so that a visit is even possible.

I have decided that this is the LAST year we attempt to mold our schedules around other people.

Absolutely. For the last dozen or so years the family comes here for Christmas because I have the youngest children. Period. No discussion.

Kristen, I think the iPod needs to be reformatted for the PC. Not enough room in the electronics to make it dual platform, I think. Just a vague recall.

I could be blowing smoke, but let me check a couple of places.

You could mention it in the tech thread, too, in case Natter gets busy.

Happy Birthdays!

I'm still feeling sick. I'm supposed to go back to DC tomorrow, but I'm thinking I might end up waiting until Tuesday.
