Have you had any games this weekend

Jake's team lost this morning. 9-2, I think -- I wasn't there, because of my neighbor's funeral, which got pushed back from Wednesday. They lost their last game, too, and he's getting bummed. The coach expects a lot more from 13- to 15-year-olds, I know, and they've been practicing but they're not having a great season.

Strangely, Ben doesn't seem to care if they win or lose. He really just enjoys playing, although they're using a pitching maching this year which took some getting used to.

I've never heard of the brand.

It could be a strictly NJ thing. Last I'd heard they'd gone out of business, but I guess not. And from what I can remember it tastes pretty much like it used to, so yay! Ah, food memories. I have so many.

Would you believe there's a pizza news website?

The phone number for Tree Tavern is 973-835-1906.

They're available at Shop Rite, Whole Foods, Kings and Publix. Of course, I have none of those stores.

I've decided to get Aidan up and not make him take a nap. This means he will be falling asleep in his dinner, but that's far and away better than listening to the gadawful thump thump now.

The Google queen! Why didn't I think of this?

Today must be the day for big accidents. Toto just had a big one on the living room floor (thank goodness for wood floors!). I don't remember the last time he did that. He's usually so good about letting us know that he needs to go out.

ETA: He only does that when he's mad. Clearly I've been too busy working on my schoolwork and need to pay more attention to him. Wonder if he'll write I note to my profs?

Huh, vw. Dang kids, anyway.

I'm doing what I usually do to blow off steam. I'm rearranging my living room. I stayed up until 4 getting it cleanish, so now it's just vacuum, rearrange, and hah to those people who like things in the exact. same. place. for 5 years running.

Deena, I just saw your tag. I love everything Kara says, ever.

I have to admit, that one was one of the most unusual. So far, anyway. She said it at lunch today. Who knows what she'll make of dinner.

(For posterity: "My corn dog has a hot dog inside, crying for help! Shhh, I can hear it. Can you?" ~Kara)

House had been cleaned and nap has been had. Me and The Punk side by side on the bed.

Lately, we have been holding her on our laps while we surf the nets, write, whatever and she desperatly wants to play. So Joe opened Word for her and let her bang away on the keyboard.

Somehow, she almost ended up installing AOL.

Later today, we'll see if she can come up with Twelfth Night.

I have come down safely to the ground and the Roof, she is sealed and shiny white. Go Team Bee! We'll just see who's sitting here all warm and dry under a non-leaky roof when the rain comes back.

While I was up on the roof, I saw a blue jay pecking a little brown bird. I yelled. DH threw a rock, and we saved the little bird. He rested for awhile in my gardening basket and flew away about an hour later.

Then I opened today's mail and found out I have been deemed Second Hiring Pool for Really Good Job #2. Sigh. I'd so hoped I'd snag another job before my UI ran out, but in two weeks, I'll be living on my savings or temping again. BLECH!!!

I have managed to plow through ten pieces of creative writing rewrites today, with the help of the amazing Deena and my wonderful father. I feel all accomplished and stuff.
