Raquel's post reminds me, I have a present to send Susan W. I've had it since I went to Baltimore. I suck!

I must get in the shower, 'cause I have to do laundry today. It's gonna be a crazy one.

Or maybe our educational system isn't teaching people to question everything.

This, I think.

I only have one person who regularly sends me these things anymore - a hodge-podge of smarmy appreciate-your-friends crap, "amazing" "true" stories, and stupid jokes. I did Snopes him on a couple of things back some time ago, and on one occasion, he actually did e-mail me first for a fact check on something. But now it's faded away, and I've kind of given up. It's annoying, because he's one of the sweetest people I know, and makes me so irritated with him.

I've nearly gotten off all the family-spam lists. No more jokes or stupid hoaxes.

The boy only woke up once last night for about 15 minutes. This is progress.

Raquel, I don't know if I'd spend so much money on these gifts. But Posh Tots is fun to browse.

Greetings O Bitches. I just got back from the tennis. It was fun. I saw Alicia Molik looking dangerous, and then got to see Andy "No, I've never been in a boy band" Roddick do a number on Greg "My Rusedski is broken" Rusedski. Verily, verily, these guys can play. Better than I can, anyway. I know this because their serves went in, even when they served from the baseline. In the line for the taxi, some woman behind me was complaining that she expected better, and a lot of the shots were ones she could do. I was thinking "Yeah, but you don't do them from a Roddick serve." But did she listen? No. She blithely ignored all my thoughts, no matter how clear they sounded in my head.

Oh, and I got fed too, with yummy stuff, for I was there to play host to some clients. It was pretty easy, once the beer came into play.

Hey, billytea!

Mom's gone in for cardiac catheterization right about now to find out what they need to do next. If she needs angioplasty or stents, they'll do that today. If it's worse and she needs open heart surgery, they'll schedule that for later.

I hate the waiting.

I just ate a pain au chocolat from the cafe around the corner and it was surprisigly extremely delicious. This has started my day in an excellent manner.

ETA ~ma for Cashmere's mother, and I hope hope hope that things are better today for Jilli's friend and her DH.

Waiting is so hard, Cashmere. I'm praying for peace for you, and that your mom needs either nothing, or angioplasty, and that whatever she needs, they spot it easily, and perform the procedure expertly, and that her recovery is swift and easy (and nudges her to take better care of O's grandmother).

My husband has had this procedure easily half a dozen times. He's currently packing four (?) stents. Yes, I've lost count. Open heart surgery is generally reserved for bypasses these days.

SA! Have fun at Oban! Tell them that I like their whisky very very much! Mmmmm, Oban.

billytea! Hello!

Much ~ma for you and your family, Cashmere.
