Wow! Made it to the end of natter -- this weird week of work combined with not being home on the weekend really messes up my board time.

I hope you had a very happy birthday Msbelle!

Seefra, ita. If it was Sephora, I'm sure that the grooming would be so much better. (On Andromeda.)

I saw Nip/Tuck win their award and that was all of the GGs that I watched.

Betsy -- are you still looking for a teeny tiny crochet needle? Because I was in my local yarn shop on Saturday and asked if they carried teeny tiny crochet needles and was told that if they make'em, the store carries them. And this store has an on-line presence:

The Yarn Exchange

If you see that they have what you're looking for, I'd be happy to stop by and pick it up for you. (Therebye allowing you to avoid shipping and handling.)

Ok, sometimes email is great. And goodness knows it made possible for my mom to let me know she had to put their dog down today without becoming a sobbing mess which she'll still do later, but at least she could talk to someone now and not wait until we were all home near our phones, but ....

Great thing to read before you have to go to a meeting.

Selfishness meeting-composure-wanting aside, my poor mom. We've been expecting this for a bit, but just last night she was surprised when I gently pointed out that Goobs was almost 12. She had a nice long spoiled rotten life.

I wonder if the cats are going to freak. And who is going to walk with my mom in the morning?

Driving around Saturday afternoon with the radio on NPR. There was a show -- they were talking about words. Guess who was being interviewed?

Erinaceous!

I heard her on the radio w/o even trying. It's pretty good when there are at least three Buffistas that you might hear interviewed on the radio w/o trying.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Aw, poor Goobs, poor Mom. And hugs to you too, sarameg.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

((sarameg & mom))

That is TEH AWESOME! If she ever wants to bounce ideas, she can totally have my email addie.

Thanks Allyson. She is a really great girl and really genuinely interested in helping people, which is great to see in an entreprenuership class, which often ends up being a lot of kids who are all like "I want to make a lot of money."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm so sorry, sara.

Eh, I'm fine. They got Goober after I'd left for college. Nice, goofy, unbelievably stupid -she barked at paper bags- and fraidy-cat dog who was last in the feline pecking order (even below the 5 lb neurotically afraid cat, ) but I'd never really bonded with her. I'm just being sympathetically composureless with my mom, who I know is really upset.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Then I take it all back. You can forward my sorry-ness to your mother.

That's weird that you've been out of the house an entire pet-lifetime.

I can't even.

Pavel's Law?

I was trying to dig up the long version, which goes something like "You have offended me. You are young and spry and can avoid my wrath for now. However, you will forget your offense and I shall not. Sooner or later, you will be in arm's reach."

The short(er) version is "Sooner or later, you will be in arm's reach." On Saturday, if shrift can make it, Pavel's Law will be in effect for you, P-C. Be wary. I think your ass is ringing.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Just wait until you've taken an entire (major) pet through babyhood until seniority and death, Jesse.
