I know a split lip is so hard because when you speak or laugh it opens up again.

I am all about the stiff upper lip. In fact, my accent is as British as it's been in 15 years.

I tried watching a bit of the Daily Show. No go. Even the OC is causing problems. Tried to drink ginger ale, and now it's all over the floor. I'm eyeing an ice cube suspiciously -- I think I'll just count the ice cream a lucky win and try one of the mini ice packs.

I'm never getting to sleep.

It's always the dumb little things.

It turns out that halfway down inside the holder were these spike things holding the candle in place.

Because, god forbid, someone tried to burn the candles upside down.

Ouch, ita. Or congratulations. Whichever you prefer.

Skipping hundreds of hundreds of posts, since I won't have a computer access tomorrow, to post that according to the Buffista Calendar, Saturday, the 16th, will be NoiseDesign's birthday, and to send him lots of early wishes.

Have short Fridays and good weekends, everybody. Especially those who are going to Allyson's "Lost" party, but that's pretty much a given because, well, Allyson's party.

Heya Nilly!

I'm finally, finally going to bed. All the party stuff is packed, and tomorrow I just have to pack my bag for the weekend and run a few errands, and then off to the hotel.

Oy.

And leave Ruby a lot of food. I feel terrible leaving her alone for two days, but whatcha gonna do?

She'll appreciate me more when I get back, yes?

Oh, Allyson, I know what's the time in your timezone, and I'm glad to read you're going to bed. Me, I'm going to my apartment to clean for Passover until I have to run out for the last bus for my parents for shabbat.

She'll appreciate me more when I get back, yes?

She may pretend that she doesn't, being a cat and all, but I think she definitely will.

Hopefully you won't read this, due to going-to-sleep-already, but I hope you have a good weekend, in every aspect.

Allyson, good luck with the party (although you won't need it--as DH says, you don't need luck when you've got PLANNING on your side).

ita! the hell! You're supposed to be in top form for Saturday!

The bruising will just lend add a layer of "She means business."

Nilly, I was paying my phoen bill the other day, and it was for $47.74. I was thinking, "Nilly would so appreciate that number."

I definitely pulled something moving boxes at work yesterday. My coworker and I easily moved 80-100 bankers boxes around. No lifting today.

I didn't realize the party was this soon. Good luck with it, Allyson. I'm sure it will be a crazy success, because it's your party.

note that there is no centrifugal force on Teppy. The force does exist, but it acts on the couch, and not on her.

That's just what the force wants Teppy to think. It's going to fling her outward through the couch. And don't blame me when it happens. But at least it isn't centripedal force, because that would be the force of anthropods, with scads of legs (although not actually 100, I don't think).

Hello, Nilly. When does Passover begin for you?

NoiseDesign, I'm going to start wishing right now that you don't have a Very Buffy Birthday.

Timelies! It's looking more and more like a very good weather weekend, just the right kind to spend lots of time in my backyard.

Which, alas, this is the best weekend (because of Patriot's Day) that I can spend down in NJ with my Mom. So I may get to spend the good weather out there instead....
