Applauding Bev's ginormous meara. Again, the post type, not the lovely person.
I went to a preschool at a university, which gave the education students the chance to study us little apes adorable preschoolers in action. On the day of my mom's parent conference, I found a door I'd never seen before, went through it, and discovered the two-way mirror, behind which my mother and the teacher were sitting, torn between amusement and dismay.
I talked early. My mother swears I sang "Happy birt-day to me" on my first birthday. And then my brother didn't talk until two and a half, but Mom swears I talked for him: "Charlie wants milk, Mommy," etc. He was apparently happy to let me translate for a while.
Ben and Julia takled for Chris. They still try, but we clamped down on the practice officially, a couple of years ago. This was a little boy who knew hundreds of words, and never strung two of them together.
Dh now gets annoyed at him sometimes, because he never shuts up. I just cry, because it makes me so happy.
MARIA! I miss you so much, when you're not here. I am sorry about the nasty IRS. Here's to your audit being a waste of your time, and theirs.
vw, you locked the keys in the running car, because you paid the sucker off. You know this, yeah?

This is why I keep coming back. I miss you guys too. Is there a word for Buffista addiction?
I'm sorry about the nasty IRS too. May their pencils never be sharp and their calculators have dead batteries. The worst part about it is I will have to use a vacation day for the appointment, which is supposed to take 2 hours. I'm trying to save them up for a tiny little event that's happening in October.
::waves back at Beverly and throws some glitter her way::
SORELLA!
Our birthday is in five weeks...what are the chances we might be able to get together sometime around it if I headed down to DC? I can't come down that actual weekend, but maybe in early March?
I'm sorry about asshatty IRS. I smite them! Smite! (If I smite them hard enough, maybe I can put off the 36-state tax return nightmare that is our every spring, too).
In meme news...I got a tattoo today! Yippee!
EDIT: vw, I did the exact same thing (keys in car while running) a few years ago. You are not alone!
I got a tattoo today!
What is it? Where is it? Show us!
Maria, I'm so sorry about the audit -- I skimmed right over that. I shudder in sympathy, but I hope it's just a nuisance and a time-waster instead of something grim.
vw, I got nothin'. Sorry!
vw, I got nothin'. Sorry!
That's ok. I actually decided to delete it. Too easy for her to see it... It is gonna make me crazy, though.
I also want to see tattoo pictures!
