Target can be a scary place. I went there after I cut up my credit cards so I could buy an expandable folder to put loan and tax stuff it. There were lots of pretties, and I got shaky and had to leave.

ETA: Explandable isn't a word. But I think I like it so much I want to adopt it.

I'll be Em loves Target

Sooooo much. And know what's scary? She focuses on the TV. Good thing she starts school next week!!

Hi. I have to go work on a freelance thing I've been procrastinating about since, oh, Thursday. If I show up here again tonight, ask me if I'm done. If I say no, yell at me and make me leave.

A friend of mine sent me this:

News In Brief
BENTONVILLE—Retail Giant Changes Name

We are the Wal-Borg. Lower your standards and surrender your neighborhoods. We will add your money to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile."

The boy has given me every illness and bug he's ever had.

That's the way of it. I was wondering why Emmett has been sick twice in the last month (he's usually very robust, and rarely sick more than twice a year) - and then I realized we moved him to a new aftercare January 1. New population = new germ pool.

I would like my DH's job to suck less. thank you.

AMBULANCE CLAMPED BY POLICE

16.2.2005. 13:17:17

It was a case of adding insult to injury at Dublin International Airport this week when an ambulance waiting for a seriously injured patient was clamped by airport police.

Even though parked in a section reserved for emergency vehicles, the ambulance was penalised with the heavy-handed no-parking procedure outside the arrivals entrance.

Paramedics had to withdraw money from their own bank accounts to pay the fine because police would not accept the ambulance company’s credit card.

Gronk.

Finished draft of grant application. I don't suppose there's anyone around with experience grant writing who'd be up for taking a look at it. This is the first one I've done that's free-form, where you just write a letter describing the program instead of filling out an application, and I feel a little out of my depth. Especially given that I'm selling a dance program, and I don't really know from dance.

Well, THAT was interesting.

We ended up going to Farm Boy for produce and then to a restaurant we used to go to for breakfast all the time that changed owners.

We left shortly after sitting down. They had something called the Tantric Veggie Burger. Yah - a leetle too not our people.
