She looks quite pleased with the pink hat. Too cute.

Thanks for the encourging words on the allergies. I have a good filter from when Brendon's grandfather lived with us. (He had emphasema(sp??)) I hope to make his bedroom as dust free as possible, run the filter, and see how it goes. I will talk to one of my doc friends and get a fist full of drugs to test if it comes to that, but I hate for him to have to always take stuff. Even if I got rid of the dog (never), all his friends and all our neighbors have animals. They ain't going away.

I went through allergy testing when I was 12 and got weekly desensitization shots for 12 years. It made a huge difference. And those shots aren't drugs, they just introduce the allergens in a harmless enough way that the body learns not to go so crazy with the immune system. And the only change we made with the dog was that he couldn't sleep in my room anymore.

Aimee, she's beautiful. I love all the pictures, but the one of you and she together on the couch makes me the happiest. You're radiant.

JZ's got her corset on. We're going out dancing at Bootie, a club that plays nothing but mash-ups.

Happy Birthday, Kristin! Happy Birthday, Maria!

Got my hair cut today, and thought of a short story title that was so evocative (to me) that the story just started unwinding in my brain: "The World's Greatest Latina Dyke Smiths Cover Band." Okay, admittedly, it's not "The Girls In Their Summer Dresses" (most evocative story title ever), but it worked for me.

Let's see: IM, reading EVERYONE's livejournals & chatting here.

You forgot watching TV and reading TWoP.

aurelia has a new tag. So does Hec.

My favorite knock knock joke is part zen and part obnoxious:

Person Telling Joke: Say "Knock knock"

Victim: Ok. "Knock knock"

PTJ: "Who's there?"

puzzled expression and hopefully cricket noises...

Ah, yes. How could I forget two of the more important things? t /sarcastic

Cutie Emaline! I must to squeeze her again soon.

I love the Grin

Aims printed out a copy of this picture for me. It's very pretty. I can't stop looking at the very pretty baby.

We now have three computers in a house with only two literate residents. Though I'm sure Annabel would love it if we let her have one of them.

While I'm not precisely pro-Valentine's Day (silly commercial holiday with too little meaning to justify the misery it causes), I have to say I'm happy that DH came home from shopping today with a big plush horsie ("Never say I didn't buy you a horse") and the new Jim Wallis book. Gotta love being with a man who knows you so well.
