Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

How cute!

hip deep in pie

Zap2it has an article about Bradley Cooper's new show. They spell NB's first name "Nicolas" -- I didn't know that he didn't use an "h" in there.

Is that filming in TO by any chance. A Canadian entertainment show mentioned that NB was in TO, and they show a picture of him looking very big and buff.

What is even happening?

He does use an "h" there, or at least he did. It's either a typo, or he's changed it.

I heard about that place. Is it a one-time trip or does she want to keep going back and building more bears?

So far, I have not had to find out. I get to be mean. I'm the mommy.

Before I had to pay gas, my summer/winter cost difference was something like $150/$10.

Now, of course.....

I'm getting really fed up with the management at the complex, though.

I've reluctantly come to the conclusion I don't like a dear friend's husband. He's not inherently bad, he's just...selfish and immature and not doing anything to make their situation improve and the onus falls all on her and she lets it. He really needs to grow up and get to it. Two kids, one with Big Issues, it needs to stop being all about your needs all the time. Urmph.

Cranky.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good lord, Sophia -- what a lot of stress! They told you heat was included, and have now changed their minds? That doesn't seem right.

Narrator -- If she doesn't already know it, you should introduce your niece to the AAMilne poem about how awesome being six is. Edit: Here [link]

I have the official OK to slack -- I told the woman I'm working with that I pretty much need to sit down with her before I can really do anything, and she's out of the office most of the day, as it turns out. So that's nice.

There's a Build-a-Bear five minutes from our house. I'll know to avoid it in the future.

Thrive to spite them

I haven't gotten my utility bill yet, it will be my first, so I don't know what to expect and it's driving me crazy. I'm worried it will be sky high.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sophia -- does your lease say no heating, it doesn't seem right that they can just change it if you've signed something.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I first read this as 'utility belt'. I blame this board.
