ita, did you make a calendar out of the Best of the rest? I have the four other ones. (side note: It's amazing how many reasons I've found to look at a calendar lately.)
I'm eleven hundred and twenty years old! Just gimme a friggin' beer!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Polgara told me about this news item, and I thought it had to be a rumor, that no one could be this vile.

Morning, Lee!
I see LJ is still down. I'm buying luggage at LL Bean for my trip to NZ. So excited!
5,800 cubic inches is a lot of room, right? Can I get away with only 2,000 cubic inches?

Maple chips? That sounds yummy.
They are. I got them at Whole Foods to add to salads. As one might suspect, they're just crunchy little chips of maple sugar.

The status is NOT quo.
Timelies. Allyson's link is making me want to throw things. Plei and Brenda are making me want oatmeal.
I'm feeling a little relieved today. My "nephew" (I don't have real nieces and nephews, but my best friend's son is as close as it gets) had his heart surgery a couple of days ago and is apparantly doing well. He's a severe hemophiliac; this was the surgey that installs a port in his heart so they can give him injections of the clotting factor every day. He's only a year old. As hideous as that sounds, though, the port will allow them to not have to run to the ER every time he stubs his toe, which is what they've had to do for this first year.
Anyway, they're doing well, and I'm going down to see them today. Poor lamb.
ETA: Oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY MSBELLE! I hope it is awesome.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
did you make a calendar out of the Best of the rest?
No ... the site's too wee for me to feel I've done a representative job. Bring on 2006.
I'm doing my 2005 budgeting, now that I know what a 2005 paycheck is going to look like. I decided to wipe MS Money clean, and upload six months of data into it, and then classify each purchase so I can do good trending. I am INSANE.
A port in his heart? Poor dear.
Now to go make berry protein smoothie.

There really are no words to express how vile this is, are there?
Morning Consuela! When do you leave for NZ?
I think I need to go buy some maple chips. I know a cookie recipe they might be great in.
eta: what ita said, Kristin, but I am glad it went well. My niece had two heart surgeries when she was younger, and apart from a cool zipper scar and having to take meds every day, she is fine.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Happy birthday, msbelle!

The status is NOT quo.
A port in his heart? Poor dear.The scariest thing for his parents is that they're the ones who have to do the injections every day. It's evidently a very delicate process (more so than diabetes injections, for example), and they're pretty freaked about screwing it up.
Now to go make berry protein smoothie.
Mmm, berry protein smoothie.
Also, ita, every single pruchase I make is entered into Quicken and categorized. I could trend back eight years if I wanted to. I am a sick finance-lovin' puppy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Eek, Kristin. Best of luck to them all. Scary. But good that they're living now, when there's Stuff To Be Done, huh?
I have GOT to do laundry. I don't remember when the last time I did it was. It's possible I own too many socks and underpants.
