Morning, all. I am very allergic this morning, because I spent the night as my friend J's house, because my electrcity got turned off yesterday, bastards, and I had no freakin' AC. So I spent the evening over at a friend's house, and at about 5:45 am her living room is as BRIGHT AS FUCK since she has the gigantic east-facing windows. So I slapped a couch pillow over my face and it was covered with cat hair.

So I am full of allergens this morning, AND it's really hot here already; I'm going to pay my bill over lunch, and damn, they better turn my AC back today.

ION, my friend had her first baby! A baby girl (they were waiting for the sex to be a surprise) and they named her Isabella. So pretty!

{{Erin}} Yay for baby, though. Isabella is such a pretty name.

It's Teppy Day! Who's got the fireworks?

And Daniel and WindSparrow are pretty damned cute, too.

Thanks for the birthday wishes, nice peoples!

Of all the presents I've gotten, waking up to the communist invasion (and attendant cramps) is not my favorite. Jeez.

mixed parentage (one male, one female).

Heh. Yeah, this would hook me, too. (But perhaps you may want to include this picture....)

I'm being out bid on the vanity I linked to the other day. DH thinks I should go look at furniture in person at actual stores before dropping a pile of money on something "second hand" on-line. How quaint.

happy birthday Teppy

poor wombat

I liked the profile billytea

gronk. Dh suddenly remembered the garbage ... so we ran around like crazy people. now he is talking to the neighbor next door. who was glad we made noisy because he for garbage too. the neighbor reminds me of Tim allen's neighbor - because we often talk to him over the hedge. of course, the talk is often baseball , not philosophy

This pinged me too. If I were a single Australian woman, I would totally date you.

I had a b&j sandwich for breakfast and he came and rested his chin on my knee and gazed up at me soulfully while I ate.

My grandfather's dog used to do that. It was almost unbearably sweet (though we would all get grumpy at him and his GF for always caving in to the soulful eyes--that poor chubby dog).

Re baby names, I woke up this morning from a dream in which, while trapped in a motel/public library during a Midwestern hailstorm, I had the revelation that the best possible name for the Zmayhem spawn (should we have any and should it be a girl) was Ozma Smay, though we would then have to move to an artists' colony so that Ozma wouldn't get teased.

Zmayhem

I'm not sure why this never pinged me before, but there's a Ladytron song called "Zmeyka." Heh.

JZ, sweetie, even the artists would taunt that poor child. You might as well name her JustKickMeNowAndGetItOverWith Smay.

My boss's dog does that. I've never seen a dog do that before.

I suppose dogs and cats that can successfully manipulate humans have an evolutionary advantage.

Also, people with pets live longer than people without. So you could say that dogs and cats are selectively breeding us humans to be pet lovers.
