The problem with sleeping in super late today is that now I'm still up...

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Our wings are not tired.
When I drink diet sodas I go for the orange, grape, root beer varieties.
Happy Mother's Day
The previous wish for a happy day applies to all.
I made a pan of brownies for my mother while she is off at mass. It smells chocolaty here.

Happy Mother's Day!
I saw the cutest thing while walking Toto this morning. A dad and his two sons had gone off to Star Market (the local grocery store) to, I assume, get things to make breakfast for mom. The little one (I'd guess about three), was carrying a "Happy Mother's Day" balloon. The older boy (about 6 or 7 I'd guess) climbed over the railing by the ramp of their building, clearly showing off to his little brother. Then said to the little brother, "I used to do that when I was little."
So. Cute.
I've got to get a good start on my psych paper today. Plus I've got brunch with mom and dad.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Happy Mother's Day.
I woke up with a migraine. I want it to go away.

X-posted with my LJ:
So, if I can make it to my classes on Monday and Wednesday (which I WILL be doing), I'll be getting an iPod. YAY! So, I'm taking suggestions on what I should have engraved on the back. The engraving can hold 2 lines, 27 characters each. I've got two in my head already, but I want more ideas.
Idea 1 (from Juliana):
School School School School
iPod! iPod!
Idea 2 (I think from Deena):
Fire bad; tree pretty.
You survived!
So, go! Suggest!

Yay for the ipod, and for making it through, VW!
I vote for Choice one.
I am going back to sleep, if I can.

I'm glad it made you laugh. I was going to suggest something like "I did it!" Then, I thought of "I think I can," and "I know I can," from that story.
Essentially, you made, "I think I can," your motto, even on days when you were doubting that you could. At your lowest moments, you responded skillfully, by talking to people you knew would encourage you to do what you could do, and love you no matter what you did do (I'm thinking of your Dad talking you out the door on bad mornings, but I suppose it applies to us, too).
Right now, you're at the "I know I can" stage because we're talking about two days. So, my suggestion is as serious as you want to take it. I thought it might be nice to have the reminder if/when find your self faced with similar challenges in the future.
