Skipping and skimming a bunch.

Ow. Throat hurts. I went to the doctor yesterday, and she said it was fine, but hurting this badly isn't "fine." I've got an appointment for a physical tomorrow, so I'll ask the doctor then to look at it.

I'm supposed to give a 30-45 minute presentation on Thursday. Right now, I can barely get through a sentence. I'm not sure how well this is going to work.

(Sorry. It seems like, lately, the only times I have time to come in here are when the doctor's told me to rest. Don't really want to seem all kvetchy.)

Hmm, I lulled the thread into a zen state...

Off to take a bath. Fire pretty, hot water awesome...

Deena, I was having dinner with a friend last weekend and there was a guy / kid / guy / kid / guy next to us that so looked like Nick. He was just darling. I thought of you. Then I thought how I shouldn't be thinking that a friend's son is hot. Then I got distracted by dinner. But I thought of you!

Just breezing through to say hi!

Hi Sean!!

Owen looks adorable!

Is there anyway we can get some Annabel pictures? (and pics of all Buffista kiddos).

I talked to my future landlady today. She's very sweet and when I asked about deposits, etc she said "No! You're almost family!" And then said she'd reimburse me for the paint I'd buy to paint the living/dining area and bedroom. I have to run the color by her first. Mom and I are descending on my grandmother Thursday to measure and plan.

When I talked to Mom this afternoon she was in the middle of searching for TAR spoilers. She was reading me posts from, I think she said, a Tivo forum. She was bummed there was only speculation.

Now I'm going to head off to bed.

Cut down carbs AND fat?? Dude! What does that leave me?? I can't just eat...chicken breasts, man!!

Ooh, fish oil, huh? May have to try that.

I am OK with eating big fibery breakfast, but I'ma try "Fiber One" rather than oatmeal. Hopefully that'll do something.

Batman has his own Library of Congress call number

WOW. Being able to say "I'm Batman" just keeps getting cooler, man! Sweet!

Talked to the other that lives in my house, we decided that if your secretary leaves I'll take the job.

Wow, that's uncool. Damn. Hope it all works out, Heather.

YAY WELCOME BACK RAQUEL!!!!

I'd be tempted to have a full job spec detailing all the damned things you do to hand, along with details of what the going rate would be for someone with your skills base

Yeah, I'd be pretty tempted to write up a job description (making it sound as awful as possible, but still true) and send it to her.

my insurance company will cover the vaccinations for Em, but not the doctor to administer them

Say WHAT? That's crazy talk!

Veronica Mars is a little bit of an unreliable narrator--the first many episodes, she seemed ALWAYS RIGHT, but then as time went on, you saw shades of gray, and it became clear she was either ignoring them, or just starting to notice them. It's a fabulous show.

They DO have to cover the cost of administration of the vaccines.

Go Aimee with the crazy reserach!

hopeing erika is nice and safe.

and owen's eyes - they just killed me.

joins the dead from cutness pile on the floor.

Pumping = somewhat painful.

Per our baby doctor, we should be introducing a bottle no later than this week if we plan on using one at all ever ever. So I decided a few minutes ago to pump the problem breast with the handy Avent Isis hand pump.

Christ, no wonder they suggest pumping to fix flat nips. That thing's got some powerful fucking suction.

Sigh. Sorry for the small issue of my brain turning into All Boob, All the Time! Well, that's not THAT much of a change, except now it's MY boobs, and, frankly, I think recreational boobage belonging to others is far more entertaining as a topic of discussion.

Hmm. So, racks. Quick: bestest celebrity rack. Help me return to the days when boobs were a thing of beauty, not industry.

I'm gonna go with Salma Hayek. If they're enhanced, I want the number of her doc. If they're not, I want to know what she sacrificed to the Elder Gods to get them.

Is there anyway we can get some Annabel pictures?

This one's over a month old, but it's still pretty much how she looks, except her hair is a little longer: [link]

And here she is dressed up: [link]

She's so adorable. She has amazing eyes.

Salma's rack, hands down.

Fuck. I like my breasts, even. I'd rather have hers.

Dear lord. Can Salma's possibly be real? Those are quite amazing looking, so I start to wonder if I'm being tricked somehow. :)
